Eliza's six months old!

Can you believe it???  Where does the time go!  I could post a picture, but it would be of her sleeping and you'd really only see her little back curved around herself as she now sleeps on her side a lot.  I'll have to take one sometime today and post it this weekend.

Developments: she now sits up!  Mostly on her own.  Every now and then she'll take a nose dive or fall back on the boppy I usually have sitting behind her (because she prefers not to sit amidst the pillow, thank you very much).  If she's forced to sit any anything that makes her recline, she does crunches trying to sit up straight again.  She can now correct herself a bit if she starts to lean and can even lean over and pick something up and sit herself back up, as long as her face doesn't hit the floor.  She really, really wants to stand up!  If she stands up holding onto your hands you have to wrestle her to sit back down!

TV remotes and cell phones are the No. 1 and 2 on her Most Fascinating Things list.  We've given her an extra remote devoid of batteries and she's so happy anytime you hand it to her.  She loves to go outside and look around, though that bright sun sometimes makes her grumpy.  As well, she is now pulling the shy act around people.  Her head will lay against my shoulder and she'll smile at someone from the corner of her eye.  It's fall-down adorable.  However, she has become quite a Mama's-girl, and when she's overwhelmed she will cry for me (and sometimes Daddy) even if someone she knows is holding her.

Thankfully she is beginning to stretch out her naptimes a little bit.  Today, she's gotten in two naps of more than an hour and a half.  I almost don't know what to do with myself!  Almost. ;)

Alas... There she is!  I hear her stirring on the monitor.  You'll have to excuse me.  I'll have that picture up for you before long!
