Six Months...Yikes!

I can't believe my little baby has already been around for half a year. Time sure does fly. In spite of all the traveling we've been doing, Fiona has managed learn lots of new tricks. She can sit up for a while without toppling over...and I'm not just talking seconds...minutes! Just to be safe, we'll continue to tell Bess she can't sit up. She's getting ready to crawl forward any day now...right now she's only managing to go backward unless she's on soft surfaces. She's tried a few solid foods...taking after her cousin Kateri, she loves ice. Bananas...not so much. And yes, I realize ice isn't a food, but I get the feeling Fiona feels very big when she's sucking it down. So far the most successful real food has been apples. Unfortunately, my fear of her gnawing off too big of a piece led me to buy some mesh food holders, and of course it's not quite as fun to eat things if they aren't choking hazards.

Anyway, she was making the best faces for this photo session so there were lots of pictures...here are some favorites. So happy to get full body shots of the pointy toes...it's totally her excited position...

Oh I love her.
