6 months old already!!

Gillian is now 6 months old. Hard to believe it has already been 6 months! She is now 13 pounds, 25 1/8" long and 16 3/8" head size. Respectively 5%, 25% & 25%. I just looked at Alistair's stats from when he was 6 months and they are relatively the same size. He was a pound heavier, but he also had a ginormo head and that is probably where the extra pound was! (: She is rolling all over the place. If you put her down, she just goes. I place things on the floor in different places and watch her make her way to each item. She is very adept at strategic rolling. She has started some solids. She seems to have a slow digestive system and therefore has to deal with some constipation. So we have laid off cereal and just do prunes, peaches and pears. She has also had pear juice to help with the digestive issues. She seems to enjoy eating solids, but we are still pretty messy at it!
Who could resist that??

Gillian loves her feet and toes. Anytime you take off socks and/or pants, she instantly raises her legs and grabs at her feet. Lately she has started sucking on her toes. I finally was able to catch her in the act! Anything she can get her hands on goes in her mouth.

Grandma H. made this sweater for Alistair, but it never fit him. It fits her and is just right for this weather we have been having! The blanket was made by Seth's aunt in Minnesota. On the backside is pink flannel with brown skull and crossbones with bows on the skulls! (:

For the most part she is an easy baby. She eats well, is generally happy and sleeps through the night. We have been having a bought of nighttime crying lately, but think it is coming to an end. She isn't a great napper per se, but does sleep in the car. So if nothing else she will catch some winks that way. She is still very much a mama's girl, although she is slowly starting to accept others!
