Happy Half Birthday Baby!

As we round out six months, Avery has plainly become a very photogenic little person.  Although we're still trying to get a grip on her sleep issues, she's generally very happy and interested in the world.

In recent weeks we've graduated from baths in the sink and started experimenting with eating solid foods.  New experiences in both arenas have so far been a hit.  We've decided to try skiping purees and moved straight into finger foods.  She won't actually be chewing a swallowing for awhile, but she's been eager to knaw on everything we've given her--bread, pears, carrots and broccoli.

And just within the last couple days she's begun rolling over a lot.  I won't be surprised if she really starts getting around soon.  Her sitting is still sort of a work in progress, and well, she's eyeing a career in professional jumping.

Yay baby!  We're so glad to have those fussy early months behind us and to have a baby we love and love to be around.
