Six Months!

Jolie is six months old!  I can't believe she is already a half a year old! 

Jolie went to the doctor last week for her six month check up and weighed 16 pounds 2 ounces and was 27 inches long.  She's getting big fast!  She started eating cereal at 5.5 months and has since tried carrots and squash as well.  She has liked everything she has tried so far. 

Today we tried to give her a sippy cup for the first time and she mostly played with it but did manage to drink a little bit.  Jolie is quite the little talker when she gets in the mood.  She is especially chatty in the car and often babbles the whole trip.  I love listening to her experiment with all the sounds she can make.  One of my favorite things that she does now is reach for us.  It is so sweet when she holds out her arms wanting to be held.  She sometimes makes a game out of it during church and reaches for daddy, then mommy, then daddy again.  Silly girl.  Jolie is also sitting for short amounts of time.  We still stay pretty close because she will sometimes loose focus and nosedive.  She enjoys sitting like a big girl where she can see everything going on around her. 
We are having so much fun watching Jolie play, babble, and giggle.  It's been the best six months!
