6 Months...

Miss Annie's been busy this month learning to sit up on her own, rolling, trying out new foods, and meeting the Pauling side of the family.  Her sweet yet feisty personality continues to emerge...she both laughs and cries with gusto.  Favorite toys include her stacking rings, sparkly butterfly, folded laundry, and anything she can bang on her high chair...

"I'm old enough to hold my own sign now, Mom."

mmm...paper.

loves to pull off the rings one by one and "taste" each one

Solids

Here are a few of Annie's favorite (and not so favorite) new foods:

rice cereal...decidedly more interested in the spoon

sweet potatoes (not quite a fan...yet)

sprinkles!!

not sure what this was, but note her "dive bomb" approach

peas for Valentine's Day <3

Sitting Pretty

Here are a few of Annie's favorite things at the moment...  sitting on her own, sticking out her tongue, and playing with her ark (video 1) and splashing around in the bathtub (video 2).  Her cute little swimsuit reminds us that spring and summer will be here soon (but not soon enough!)
