Six Months Old!!!

It's been so long since my last post. Lucy has changed so much! At her six month doctor's appointment she was 15 pounds 14 ounces (50th percentile) and 27 1/4 inches long (95th percentile), so our baby is still long and lean. A month ago she started rolling to get toys and now she is army crawling (belly on the floor, elbow over elbow). She also gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. She hasn't quite figured out how to move one hand at a time in this position. She just collapses onto her tummy.
We started some solid foods at five months. I've been making all her baby food at home, but I'm sure that will change once I go back to school. So far she's had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, bananas, avocados, and green beans. She's a big fan of all of them except green beans. Lucy believes green beans are put on this earth to torture her. I'll try to post a video of her eating green beans. Her face is awesome!
Let's see....what else...she isn't really babbling yet. She is a great growler and she blows raspberries all the time and she ooooohs like a monkey, but I haven't been able to get a consonant out of her. She has been sleeping through the night consistently for probably six weeks now. Goes to bed at 6:30 or 7 and wakes up around 6. She usually pops a pacifier in her mouth and lets me sleep until 7, sometimes 8. It's heaven. And this child LOVES to bounce. She is happiest when any adult holds under her arms and lets her bounce and bounce and bounce. She also loves to stand up holding on to your index fingers.
We still take her to the beach almost every weekend. Between Galen, Wendy, and I switching off entertaining her, we've been able to play volleyball on a regular basis and Galen bought her her first volleyball (mini) when the AVP was in town last weekend. She's been practicing smacking the ball. I predict she'll play her first game in the next few weeks.

I popped a bunch of random pictures into the blog because I'm so behind..Enjoy!
