Lydia Turns Six Months Old!

I can't believe that Lydia is already six months old. She turned six months old on August 23rd. We can't believe she has been here for half of a year already. The time is going by so quickly! She is getting so big and learning new things every day. We love watching her grow and change. She is such a blessing in our lives.
Lydia has developed her own personality and it is fun to watch how she interacts with other people.Lydia has changed so much in the past little bit. It amazes me at how much she has grown up. Here are some things that she has been up to lately:

**She can sit up all by herself. She tips over sometimes, but for the most part she can stay sitting up for long periods of time.

**She loves to roll onto her back and onto her belly. She'll start at one end of the room and end up at the other.

**She rolls into the corner of her crib during nap time and gets stuck so we have to go roll her back onto her back so she can sleep.

**She has started sticking her tongue out all the time (as seen in one of the pictures).

**She loves to play with her toys. She likes the one in the picture above a lot and also she loves to be in her exersaucer.

**She loves to interact with random people at the store when they come and comment on her. She has started tilting her head to the side and smiling at them, which of course, makes them adore her even more.

**She still loves singing.

**She loves watching her dad where ever he goes.

**She is eating lots of solid foods. She loves being spoon fed and loves to make raspberries while she is eating. Yes, it makes quite the mess.

**She hates getting her face cleaned off after she makes the mess eating her fruits and veggies.

**She still loves taking baths, but hates getting dressed after her bath. She never fusses if I change her from her pajamas to her outfit for the day, but if she hasn't had clothes on and I try to get her dressed again she gets fussy.

**She still won't drink from a bottle, but is learning how to drink from a sippy cup.

**She is fascinated with water bottles and gets excited when she sees them.

**She is always busy talking and playing and is for the most part, always a happy baby!

**She loves music. When we are singing during church she grabs hold of the hymn book and starts to sing along.

**She has also started playing the piano.
