6 Months Old


Piper turned 6 months old this last week. I can't believe it. She's a different child, and so quick! So many changes these days. The tub crawls have given way to living room explorations. I fear childproofing our home, filled with not so child friendly items, is going to be quite the task. But it has to happen, and soon. Right now we're in the middle of a Grandma Kane, Auntie Kim visit. Days are filled with smiles and good food.
Not a bad way to welcome the fall and Piper's half year birthday!

So there are a lot of photos to go through, so I'll start with the... early crawling efforts...

Piper drags herself across the floor to get to my wedding ring.
Bling is the ultimate motivator.



But sometimes she just motors around on her own.


So proud!





Here is a great little series...I caught Piper discovering the newspapers in the coffee table.


Pay no attention Mom, I'm not up to anything.

Just out of reach.
For now.

Lounging with Ansel after such hard work, showing off the super awesome sweater Cousin Betsy knitted for her. Perfect for this early fall chill.

So Happy!

Aunt Kim!

Toys and Bling!

She's doing raspberries - this is the beginnings of it.
Its happening on and off as commentary through the day.


Piper has a new chair at the dinning room table. She loves being a part of the grown up action.

And loves eating! So far she's loved everything we've given her.
She even calls out if we don't feed her fast enough.



Just hanging with toys in the living room.

Some sitting practice.


Jumperoo with Gramdma, fun times!

And a pretty dress Grandma brought.




Snazzy new hat from Aunt Amy, perfect for an afternoon walk with Grandma.




Another super cool hat came in the mail from Aunt Amy. Thank You!



And then...
Finish the day off with some Butternut Squash

Yum!
