6 Months

We've been so busy around here I was surprised to see Inga was 6 months old already! When did that happen? (For those who don't know, we are in the process of buying a house and look set to move at the end of March!)

Inga is so grown up compared to a month ago. She can sit up all on her own and just a couple days ago rolled over from tummy to back (finally). This means she is more or less mobile since she can also roll from back to tummy. Gah!

She is so giggly and happy especially when seeing new people and places. Since the weather has been amazing lately, we have taken lots of walks in the afternoon. She loves to look at all the new things and fall asleep in the sunshine in her stroller or on Mama's back. She is so easy to run errands with because she loves seeing new people so much. She tries to make eyes with all the cashiers. She definitely takes after her Daddy for much of her personality.

Eat the bear? Who me?
Mom, you're so funny:)
We are still working on eating solid foods. She is working on the whole spoon/swallow thing. Her favorite foods are all vegetables except for avocado. She just doesn't like banana, pear, or apple. Weird, but she likes carrot, sweet potato, mashed potato and broccoli, avocado, and beets. She also prefers to feed herself, which is a bit problematic. We have a system worked out where she grabs the spoon and directs it to her mouth, while I hold onto it to make sure she doesn't jam it down her throat. She also started exploring a sippy cup the other day. She was starting to get the hang of it and liked the cool water on her gums.
Why do I keep her dressed during meals?
She has a check up in a week, so I will find out them how much she weighs. I'm guessing she is pushing 20 lbs. She's our big girl!

  1. I LOVE these updates. Weird food tastes--Ransom wouldn't eat sweet potato. It's sweet! Eat it! Nope.

    You must be SO excited to get a house. We're planning to buy in the fall. It's like the thing I think about when I can think about anything that is not necessary. :) I'd love to see pictures when you have time!

  2. I will post pictures of our house as soon as it is actually ours. We are in the hurry up and wait underwriting process on our loan. I wish you luck in your house and lender search. I hope Ft. Wayne has a better selection than around here although I think we found a real gem. :) If you need help understanding the mortgage thing, I will volunteer Sam's knowledge from his days in Alt-A lending.
