Changes!

Wow. Little one is almost 6 months old. She is changing so much! We pretty much spent the weekend at my moms house. While we were there, little one started to sit up when we were trying to feed her! She has been doing this now and then for a bit, but not to the extent she did yesterday! When we got home, she even sat up in the bathtub! Today, I've been sitting her up and letting her try to balance herself. She is doing pretty well. At one point, she sat up on her own for like 30 sec before she toppled over haha! She toppled frontwards a few times, and one time, she kicked her legs underneath her and pushed herself up so she was on all fours and her stomach was off of the floor! She was SO close to crawling! She even moved one of her legs forward! But then she toppled over again LOL. I put her on the floor while I was making supper and she kept pushing herself up on all fours. I picked her up and put her in her chair because I wanted her dad to be there if she started to crawl! But then when he got home and we put her back on the floor, she just laid on her stomach and brought all 4s up in the air like she is swimming haha.

She had a little fit an hour before we were going to get her ready for bed, so we ended up putting her down for a little nap. When we got her up, she had pushed herself up against the crib and her head had 2 red dents in it from the bars of the crib! UGH I wish we could use bumper pads!

I bought her first box of cereal today :) It was on 3 for $9, so I got 2 rice boxes and one wheat box. She will get her first taste of cereal very soon. This weekend we are heading out of town to get her highchair. I wanted to feed her the cereal right on her 6 month birthday, but we figure we should have the chair first, just to set her routine up. :( We are so excited to feed her solids. Its funny that someday she will eat everything we eat, she will crawl, walk, go to school, etc and we will forget that we once were so excited for something so normal. Something that everyone does. But somehow its like a small victory for us as parents to see our kids reach these 'common' goals.
