Six Months Old

At six months old, Nora:

• can sit up by herself for short periods.  She is still a little wobbly, but she gets more sturdy with each day.
• is scooting and rolling all over the place.  She gets up on all fours in the crawl position, but can't figure out how to move her hands forward.  I have a feeling she will be all over the place before we know it. 
• loves being carried around the house.  Good thing she doesn't mind being carted around in the Beco carrier, otherwise I would have some very tired arms. 
• still sleeps like a champ overnight and naps 3 times per day. 
• started solids about 3 weeks ago.  So far she has tried sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, peas, bananas, apples and peaches and has liked them all.  Bananas are definitely her favorite. 
• is such a happy baby.  She rarely cries and has such a great disposition.
• has a contagious little belly laugh.  Her sisters are especially skilled at getting her to laugh. 
• loves music.  She especially loves when you sing to her.
