Half of a year old already! I can't belive it! She is just more fun every day. At her checkup yesterday she weighed 17lbs 14 oz, and was 26 and 1/2 inches long! She can now sit up very well on her own, and will often roll to her stomach to try to reach her toys (or items that are not toys, such as the remote control). She can transfer items from one hand to the next, and sometimes we catch her just looking at her hands...as if seeing them for the first time! One of our friends calls her the "bye-bye" baby because she loves to go bye bye...anywhere! She is most content when we are out of the house doing things. I am approaching the solid food issue again (after a very discouraging run with rice cereal), but I tried apples yesterday and after one bite she was done. We are hearing a lot of babbling...she likes the "mmmm" sound and when she is upset it sounds an awful lot like "mama." Her favorite book is a lift the flap book called "Where is baby's belly button" and she will look at me and smile even when I say those words without the book. Daddy has found lots of ticklish spots and we notice that sometimes it seems Raegan will laugh in order to see Jasen or I laugh. She is no longer taking a pacifier - which can present its own challenge, but we will see if that ever comes back or if we are done for good! We are excited to see her start crawling soon! :)
