Lily's Half Birthday!

Today Lily is 6 months old! I can't believe it. Time is flying and she is growing so quickly. Her newest thing is to grab at anything and everything she can get her little fingers on, including ears, noses, earrings, necklaces and her Daddy's glasses. She is also eating more "solid foods" these days - applesauce, pears, oatmeal and bananas. I bought her some squash to try too. She also screams a lot...she's a loud girl and she always has a lot to say. She is also getting much more mobile. If you place her on the floor, she'll roll over and back and over and back until she makes her way to the other side of the room. She's quick. She does the army crawl but no real crawling yet. Soon though, I imagine.

Lily has been hanging out with her Grandma Cross the last few days. They are having some much needed bonding time together.

Tomorrow is the last day with Zachary for awhile. Jen's step mother-in-law is going to watch Zack on Tuesdays from now on. We'll still have to get together a lot so that Lily and Zack and have play dates. I'm sure Lily will miss her boyfriend every week.

You might ask "how do they get her to smile like that?" Well, the secret is to have Anson hide behind me and pop up and say "boo." She loves that and always laughs!

Happy 1/2 a year old Lily! Zack is going to miss seeing you every Tuesday, so we'll have to get together more often. I'll miss seeing that cute little smile every week too!
