Lila at almost 6 months old!

Lila will turn 6 months old while we are on vacation so I thought I'd highlight what she's been doing in during her 6th month.

Lila has been loving being on her belly more and more now that she can push herself up with her hands. She tries to scoot side to side and sometimes a little backwards. I'm guessing she will start crawling in the next month or two, but I was wrong with Ethan. She is very close to rolling from back to front. So much that she gets to her side and her arm is in the way. She reaching for toys that are next to her with ease when on her back.

In the month of May, we dedicated Lila to God in front of our new church, One Life Church, and our families. It was funny to listen to her talking and gurgling while our pastor talked about her and our family.

                                           Talking with Papa before church began.

                                         "It's hard to be this cute!"

                                      Ethan loves to pretend he's a baby too and lays under her playmat.

                                       He's also a wonderful helper even when we don't want his help :)

                                       Lila adores her brother, but I can tell that secretly she's a little afraid of him.

In May Lila rolled over for the camera, grasped toys very well and had what we thought was her 1st cold, but may have been teething. She started playing with her hands and feet trying to get them into her mouth and got up on her arms. She also started grabbing toys and purposely throwing them.

At her early 6 month check-up she was 17 lbs 4 oz (73%), 27 1/4 inches long (95%) and her head circumference put her in the 90%. She's growing and I assume that like her brother she will be well over 20 lbs by the time she turns one.
