Here's the link

We started a new photo album so people can see the new pictures without wading through the old ones.

We've got ourselves a bouncing baby girl

Hannah is getting ready to crawl. I imagine (and hope) that it will take SEVERAL more weeks of getting up on hands and knees and rocking before she actually crawls. She is now able to push herself backwards, unintentionally landing herself in a corner generally. She can pretty much spin in every direction as well to get to various toys or non-toys-that-she-thinks-should-be toys.
Included in the new photo album is a picture of her after she lunged for her toy box and picked out exactly what she wanted. A vibrating teething toy. Nice choice Hannah.

Updated pictures now available.

The stats

Here are the stats for Hannah's six month check up:

Weight: 16 lbs 6.5 oz.
Height: 27 inches
Head size: 2 inches bigger than two months ago

So far she's hitting all her milestones and growing healthy with only one snag: super itchy skin!

Hannah update: 6 months

Hannah is officially 6 months old today. As pictured above, she can sit on her own for several seconds before toppling over in pursuit of something interesting she can't reach sitting up. (Therefore the nest of soft things surrounding her) She makes a variety of noises though not too many sounds that include consonants. She now rolls BOTH back to front and front to back like a pro. She can do "mini push-ups" and get her stomach off the ground, and she can occasionally push her back end up like an inch worm. However, she cannot do both at the same time, and she does not know how to get on her knees yet. As noted below, she has two precious teeth that are getting sharper by the day.

We are enjoying watching her grow and change. She is a constant source of joy with her laid-back sunny personality. Older ladies at church or the store soak up her ever ready smile and gurgles of pleasure. We also enjoy watching her interact with her cousins and children of friends.
