1/2 Year Old!!!!!

Note to those of you that get email updates: When you get the email, it will include the pictures that are posted.  However, it will not include any of the videos.  If you want to see the videos, you'll have to click the link so you can see the actual blog posting in a web browser.  The videos are usually pretty cool, so it's worth the effort.

Here's what our little lady has been up to:

She is getting dangerously close to crawling.

She has been doing lots and lots of swinging at Laurelhurst park.  She loves it.

She's been playing with her friends.  Here she is swinging with Siri (and Sadie).

Here she is being charmed by Henry.

Here she is making uninvited advances on Owen.

Here she is just being one of the guys at Suz's birthday party.

Besides playing, she also does some serious stuff - like get checked out by the doctor.  At 6 months she is 27.2 inches (93rd percentile) and 15 pounds, 11.4 ounces (45th percentile). She thinks the stethoscope is the coolest toy ever.

She is doing all sorts of other stuff as well.  She has mastered sitting.  She eats oat cereal like a champ.  She's getting really good at using her hands to grab smaller and smaller things.  She's making sounds that are starting to sound more and more like words.  And she is also making noises that sound more and more like dad:
