6 months and then some!

Yes, Makaela is now 6 1/2 months...nearing 7 months! We see our new doctor here in a week and a half and we are so excited to meet him! We have heard such awesome things about him that we can hardly wait! We are also so curious to get Makaela's stats now! She's been on cereal for about 3 months now and baby foods (veggies only so far) for about 2 months. She is also completely bottle fed now so she has definitely filled out more but is still just the cutest button!

Lets see new things--where to even begin. She is not technically crawling, but she moves around like an inchworm and she's fast! So while there is no official crawling, she is a very mobile baby. Life as we know it will never be the same. Sometimes we will purposely move things she is trying to get so that she has to keep moving and its funny because sometimes she gets tired and just lays her head down for about 10 seconds, then is back up and moving again. It's so cute! She has also just recently started going from her position on all fours to sitting. I should mention that her position on all fours is sometimes hands and knees and it is sometimes (more often) hands and feet. She has nearly perfect push up form!! She gets a good workout and stretching time in for her calf's everyday. Anyway, when she is on her hands and feet, she will bend one knee which puts her hip on the ground. Then she twists around so that she is sitting. She's amazing!
Still sleeping wonderfully--although has recently gotten into a spout where when I put her down for a nap and she sees me walk out she cries. It's so sad :( She typically wakes up somewhere in the 7:00 hour after about 11 hours of sleep which is also wonderful. We have decided that her efforts to laugh result in her panting like a dog. When we laugh, she starts panting.

She finally fits into her 3 month clothes--yes that's right--3 months. Hopefully by Christmas time she will fit into her 6 month clothes...or at least 3-6 month clothes :)
This is one very sleepy baby trying to eat.

Not sure why this picture uploaded sideways, but its just a cute outfit she has that fits her now and that she can wear because the weather is cooler!!
Hanging out with Grandpa

This is a new toy that some friends lent to us (probably because its one of those noise making toys ;) But Makaela has loved it and the noise of the piano hasn't bothered me or gotten annoying at all. Plus since she loves it, I can't complain!! :) Bella on the other hand does NOT like the toy piano.
