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.

6 months and Father's Day!
Yesterday was Father's Day and Lily's 6 month birthday. It was a nice relaxing day. It was great to be able to spend time together as a family. I cannot wait until our schedules change and Sean and I will get to spend more time together.
Lily still hasn't mastered crawling, but she definitely can get to where she wants to go. She does this little scooting inch worm looking move. She will get up on her hands and knees a lot now too, but doesn't seem to realize that she needs to move her arms and legs.
We did do a photo shoot for Lily's six month and got some adorable pictures. I will try to do another post tonight with them in it so that everyone can see her.
Now it is time to finish getting ready for work and spend a little time with Lily if she ever decides to wake up!

Trying to Crawl
Lily is really trying her hardest to crawl. She is now getting up on her hands and knees a lot more and it still scooting around every where. I was finally able to catch some of her attempts on video. She usually stops doing whatever it is that she was doing when I pull out the camera, but this time she didn't seem to notice. Sorry for all the jiggling.

Busy
I finally got photos to upload! Here are a few from the last few weeks.
She was super happy to be sitting up all on her own with a bow in her hair.
5 months old and looking a little ornery
Being silly
Stuffed cardinals sure do taste yummy!
Swinging at my parents' house
She loves to eat
Our lives a very busy right now but I wouldn't have it any other way. Lily is trying her hardest to learn how to crawl and has now mastered the art of "inch-worming". If I put her on a quilt on the floor she rarely stays on it for more than 5 minutes before she is off exploring the rest of the family room. This makes it a lot harder for me to get things done while she is playing because I have to constantly see where she is. Luckily inch-worming is not the quickest mode of travel yet.
She absolutely loves Selene. As soon as she sees her doggy her eyes light up, grins real big, and lets out a very high pitched squeal. Selene still isn't all that sure of this little human in the house but is definitely getting a lot better. She lets me help Lily pet her and will lie down closer to Lily, but still not within arms reach. I don't blame her though, once Lily gets a grip on someone's hair she somehow gets her fingers all wrapped up in it and pulls hard.
She is doing really well with eating solids as you can see from the above photo. She loves rice cereal and likes sweet potatoes and pears if I make the fresh. I made a bunch of both and froze them and she won't eat them unless they are mixed with rice cereal. She gets so happy when I put her in her high chair. I will admit that sometimes when she is being fussy and just wants to be held but I have to get stuff done around the house I will put her in the high chair and move it around the house with me.
Sean and I are still working opposite shifts so we hardly see each other, but one of us it almost always with Lily. Hopefully that will change soon and we can see each other a bit, but I'm not wanting to possibly have to put Lily in child care. I have started doing direct sales for a company called 31 Gifts. It is a lot of fun and I like being able to make a little extra income. The company makes amazing purses, bags, and other totes that are all customizable.
