Our busy lil bee!

Excited in her highchair for 1st cereal

 Our little lady is growing so fast, we can't believe she is already 6 months.  I'll post some monthly photos in the next post, but today are a couple of her highlights from the past few weeks.  We started rice cereal a little over a week ago.  The first time we fed her cereal, we may have waited a little too long.  Needless to say she was starving.  She was all smiles in the beginning, and then it was just taking too long.  We got to the point where Tim and I were using two spoons to feed her so she wouldn't have to "wait" for the next spoon of cereal.  So we learned our lesson to nurse her first, then offer her cereal afterwards.  Sorry Adelyn, that's what you get with Rookie Parents!  Now that we have our routine down, she loves her cereal.  We are going to add oatmeal for a second serving during the day for a week, and then on to the fruits and veggies!

Mom, let me help you!

I don't like this anymore!

I need to teach those guys how to do it next time!

Helping daddy feed her, 2nd time around.

The other exciting event in Adelyn's life was sitting in her swimming pool.  We borrowed the dogs pool to let Ady try out the water.  She absolutely loves her baths, so we thought she might like the pool too.  I think if we would have been in there with her, she would have stayed in the pool longer.  The smallest swimming diapers we could find were size 3-4, so they were essentially the same size as her.  She had fun splashing around in the water, and floating around on her back.  She played for 15 minutes and then had enough.  I think she was getting uncomfortable with how we were holding her, so she wouldn't slide under the water.  She is able to sit on her own for 10-15 seconds before leaning on to her hands, so she wasn't able to sit very well in the water.  We are continuing to play in the water because now that she is 6 months, she is able to begin swim lessons!

Just getting into the water. 

Come on in, the water is nice! (diapers about to slip off) 

Loves her ducky!
This picture makes me laugh because it looks like "Giant Baby invades"  She is the same size as the miniature pine tree, but it looks like a regular size tree. 

Since I posted some photos of her new activities over the past week, I thought I would post some of one of her favorite things...bathtime!  She gets so excited when we get her bathtub out, she loves to splash and play in the water.  Once I got the camera out to catch some photos, the posing began.  She is such a funny girl!

Love this girl! 

She can be such a ham!

Learning to enjoy a foot massage!  She has daddy wrapped around her little fingers.

Our little ladybug is such a blessing, we are so fortunate to have her in our lives.  It is really hard to have a bad attitude when she is around - her beautiful eyes and smile brighten everything around.  Even Ginger loves to be around her, she has taken on the responsibility of surrogate mom.  She always looks for Adelyn when she can't see her, and loves to rest by her crib when Adelyn is resting.  We were a bit worried with how Ginger would accept her, but we have been pleasantly surprised.  We love our little peanut, and excited that our puppies do too!
