Keeping Up With the Vandegrifts: January 2012

Today is our baby's half birthday, we can't believe how fast these last 6 months have gone and it seems unreal how much has happened in these few months. Last week we continued our vegetable journey. Addy had squash and carrots and seemed to like these better than the green beans. Her faces are still priceless! We will try more this week. Yesterday we began introducing the sippy cup with a few sips of water, she is very unsure of it and thinks it is a toy at this point. She is sitting up better and for several seconds before getting tired, and she loves to stand. She loves her bath time and rubber duck toy, as well as playing with her dolls or more like eating them, vtech lap-top, and teething toys right now. Thursday and Friday we went for a walk since the weather was wonderful, we took her in just the stroller part without the carseat and she was just looking from side to side taking in all the sites and fresh air and fell asleep for a bit on Friday's walk. When we reach our hands out to pick Addy up she holds them out to us. She is fitting into more of her 6 month clothes now and wearing a handful of 3 month stuff still. We are finishing up her size 1-2 diapers we have and then will move into size 2's. It is amazing how quickly the days pass and how much she is able to do already in these 6 months. I know we will just keep being amazed and I am loving every minute of it!
