New Crib

We cleaned out the spare bedroom and put in a new crib (Graco Jason crib) and a dresser. Nothing matches. It makes me sad, but I hope that she won't be using the crib for too long.

She's been sleeping pretty well in the crib other than the fact that she gets rather cold.

Moments

So, I was changing Lillian's diaper. Dirty diaper is off and I'm getting the clean one ready to go on. I look into her eyes and she has this 'I love you' look and I get this feeling of all is right with the world. I have this little being that loves me and depends on me for absolutely everything, and goodness... I love her, too! and I'll do my best to take care of her needs. And I can see her heart beating.

And then she peed everywhere.

Park

We went to the park last night. It was a lot of fun. I expect that as Lillian gets older, she will love this park. Right now the real coolness was for us, the adults. There were multiple slides, rock climbing walls, musical pipes to hit and a thing you stand on and shift your weight around and spin. This is our park going outfit:

We think we are really cute. We are!

Grumpies

Lillian has started to make 'wtf mom' faces for the camera. I thought I would share some. In the top one, I really think she is plotting my demise.

We went down to Houston this weekend to visit friends. The trip was good, Lillian slept the entire way down. Unfortunately, she only slept half the way back. We had to stop at Denny's because she would just not calm down. But after that, she slept the remaining half hour.

She has started doing so many amazing things recently. She can sit up on her own unassisted and roll both directions. Unfortunately, she just rolls as she feels like it, not with any purpose or direction. So, she'll roll away from me and then look at me and start whining because I'm too far away. She doesn't roll back, she just freaks out and I have to go rescue her. Silly baby.

Six months

Baby should be able to

• Keep head level when body is pulled to sitting- yes
• say 'ah goo' or other vowel/consonant combinations- yes, she chatters and sings. Its cute.

Baby will probably be able to

• Bear some weight on legs when held upright- Definitely, she loves her jumparoo. I think she understands the word 'bounce' because she will do so on command.
• Sit without support- We're working on this, she still tips.
• Turn in a direction of a voice- yes.
• Razz- one of the favored noises

Baby may possibly be able to

• Stand holding on to someone- not so much.
• Object if you try to take a toy away- she doesn't care
• Work to get a toy that is out of reach- yes
• Pass an object from hand to hand- yes
• Look for a dropped object- yes if she's on the floor, no if she's in the high chair.
• Rake with fists to pick up an object- if she wants it.
• Babble- yep.
• Feed self cracker- I haven't tried yet.

Baby may even be able to:

• creep or crawl- She can't get very far when she does
• Pull up- nope
• Go from belly to sitting- nope
• Pincher grasp- nope
• Mama or dada indiscriminately- I don't remember it, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened.

Pushing off

Lillian began trying to army crawl this weekend. She can only move a couple of inches and gets frustrated easily, but I think it is starting to click.
