She is becoming so much stronger and is getting closer and closer to crawling on her hands and knees each day!

Big events in a laundry basket!
Today I needed to be on the computer for a bit to get some orders submitted for a 31 Gifts party I did a little while ago. Here are some photos to show the events that followed.
Lily in a laundry basket so Mommy can get some work done on the computer
She seems to be enjoying her toys and not too concerned about being confined
And then she pulled herself up! She only had a little bit of bracing on the one side with one foot, otherwise she was standing on her own!
She is such a big girl now.
Shortly after the last picture was taken she started crying. I got her to bend her knees and let go with her hands so she could sit back down and she was all smiles again. I think she couldn't figure out how to get out of this new standing position.

Lily update
Lily is so close to crawling on her hands and knees. Right now she has perfected the army crawl and will get up on her hands and knees and rock. She will also look back at her knees like "I know you are supposed to be doing something, why aren't you?" before she falls back to her belly. Army crawling is definitely a good mode of travel for her though and she can get across the family room a lot quicker than I would like.
We have cut back a little bit on solid foods because it has been giving her tummy problems. She still gets super excited when she sees her spoon and bowl though. Right now she is just back to eating oatmeal and formula and we will hopefully be reintroducing some fruits and veggies again this week.
Today some friends of ours from college are getting married so my parents are going to watch Lily all day and then also tonight! This will be the first night for me away from the baby. I'm sure it will be rough emotionally, but I'm also excited to have a morning to sleep in and also some time tomorrow to get some stuff done around the house that is harder to do with a little one.
Just this morning I found a new toy for Lily. The laundry basket. I was folding her clothes and she tipped the basket over and crawled in. Now as I type this I have moved the basket into the computer room and she is playing in it with some toys. I am enjoying the fact that she loves it and will keep her confined so I can finally get a blog post up. And I must have jinxed it because she is now starting to fuss.

That would be Lily's addition to the post :)

6 month pictures and well visit
Looking up at Daddy on Father's day/6 Month Birthday
Playing with the curtains
"I want the camera"
Watching the doggies play outside
6 Months!
Lily and I went to an arts festival with our friend Michelle a couple weekends ago and got a beautiful purple headband and a purple flower barrette. The next day when I went to take her 6 month pictures I realized that the 6 was purple as well so she just had to wear the headband for her photo shoot.
She had her 6 month checkup today. While she is a little small the doctor isn't worried and he is impressed with how long she can sit up unsupported and that she army crawls. She is the the 50th percentile for height and only the 10th for weight. In the hand out he gave us at the end of the appointment it said that she can be eating solids up to 3 meals a day so I am going to start giving her more this weekend. Right now she really likes peaches and bananas, but I bought some squash and avocado at the store today so we will see what she thinks of them this weekend.
This weekend we are also going to really baby proof the house. It has been super nerve racking now that she is moving. There is so much to do though that I really don't know where to start. I guess first will be just making sure we pick up after ourselves. I am going to go and buy outlets covers, bumpers for the coffee table, and latches for the cabinets tomorrow or Saturday.
