Her "Army" crawl

Aliz - 6 months

This is our pumpkin at 6 months old. She's growing up so fast! She sits up on her own and loves to play peekaboo (she usually plays peekaboo with us, by lifting her dresses or a blanket up over her head and then whipping them down and smiling :D ). She will "army crawl" her way to something she wants, and she gets up on all fours, but hasn't quite put it into motion, yet. She loves music and loves standing and walking. She sometimes throws little tantrums if she wants to walk and you won't help her :D Other than that, she is a very happy baby. We are extremely lucky! We're starting level 2 baby foods - as of yet, she doesn't seem to be very picky. She's a good little eater! She loves her daycare teacher, Lori, and has made a couple of finger paintings for us!
