6 months

It's amazing Brielle has been part of our family a whole 6 months. Now she is legally ours.
What she's up to.

*sitting by herself while playing with toys also on unstable surfaces like a grassy slop, bed, or couch

* crawling on hands and knees as well as feet and hands. In dance we call it the elephant walk. She loves to do up dog. When she is left in a room alone she will leave and come looking for us. She gets to anything she wants in a room.

* eating solids and loving it. Meat is not her favorite! She gives her mist funny faces while eating it. She also seems to have now problem with a little more textured foods. She can drink out of a cup and a sippy. She is very interested in everything we are eating and strains to get her hands on it.

* she loves to laugh expeshally when a perticular line from tangled is quoted by her cousins or when children jump. She also gets slap happy when she is tired and you can get her belly laughing.

* very social and will almost always give anyone a big smile. She has however had moments of extrem stranger anxiety. She defiantly knows who mom is and wants her most of the time if she can see her.

* she can do a pincher grasp and can pick up some things off the floor. Time to start vacing at least daily. She also is loving hair and will wrap her little arms around your neck and grab your hair

* she is so loving and cuddly now giving bug intense hugs and kisses. On account of this change she has also started nursing and takes very few bottles now.

* she loves anything big and can often be calmed down by standing her up. She has even pulled herself up to standing twice at the couch. She also can go from a crawling position to a complete sit. She still often hangs out in a mermaid sit.

* also just in the last week she has decided to become more vocal. We were worried how quite she was but I think we are not going to experience that for much longer.
