More Family

The house has been a buzz with Grandma Kane, Aunt Kim and visits from Grandpa and Grammy. Then Aunt Amy came! Aunt Amy drove all the way from Denver to see Piper for a couple of hours, just to drive the East Coast crew back up to Denver.

She came bearing tub toys and jammies- Thank you!

Piper was full of smiles.

She and Aunt Kim really had a chance to bond, it was so sweet. Kim could get her to smile and giggle in a flash.

Piper's first "peek-a-boo" experience was very exciting. She could barely contain herself!

Aunt Amy hearing bling was at the rage came decked out and ready. Took Piper a moment, but she obviously remembered her and thanked her with a big slobbery kiss.

And the giggles just kept coming.

Piper is getting to that point where playing and interacting, sounds and tickles are all just so fun she can't contain herself.

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!
