She's growing toooooooo fast

First time eating yogurt

Us at the beach

Well it's only been a week since I've written and so much has happened. She's too big! It's happening too fast! We went to the beach with my parents over the weekend and had a great time. She didn't much like the water, or the way Poppy threw her in the sand face down, because it was kind of chilly but she enjoyed just walking around on the beach. Being carried around on the beach, I should say. Last week we had all noticed that she had some white places on her gums that looked like she might cut a tooth any time. Then over the weekend she had actual little bubbles where you could see that two little bottom teeth were about to pop through. Then last night Heather and I were feeling in her mouth and there they were! Two bottom teeth, just popping right out of my baby's gums! Ahhh! It's exciting but makes me realize how fast she's growing up. I can't believe she's six months already. And you may all be wondering if she gave us a fit as she was cutting teeth. The answer is of course not, she's perfect! No, really, she's perfect. She's an angel and hardly has been fussy about it at all. I'm so blessed to have this baby that barely cries, especially since Mike is gone. She's just wonderful.

Other big news, she's started eating a second meal. Her second meal is really the first meal of the day, breakfast. We started with banana yogurt. It's organic and whole fat and looks disgusting. But it's good for her, I guess. She loves it, of course. As always. It's been a while since she's eaten rice cereal or anything like that because I just realized it's just a filler that serves no real purpose to her as far as nutrition goes. So I just decided not to give it to her anymore. But since she's 6 months old now, she's ready for real brown rice. I ground it into a fine powder in my blender (since that stupid Magic Bullet kicked the bucket, grrr) and cooked it on the stove and it's in my fridge ready to give to her tomorrow morning. It seems kind of gross to give her rice for breakfast but lots of people do it so whatever. It actually has the consistency of grits. I'll be sure to update on how she likes it. Anyone care to guess how that's going to go?

She's just about gotten the hang of sitting up now and is well on her way to crawling. She can go forward on all fours once before she falls down. And she can go backward like a champ, haha, but that won't get her very far. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it quickly. Oh, we're all about to be in trouble!
