Half Birthday!

When your birthday is the day after Christmas you get to celebrate your half-birthday to make up for the snub your real birthday will undoubtedly get...at least that is the rule we made in our house! So, today is Corinne's half birthday!! She is 6 months old today and exploding with new skills all the time. Besides sitting up on her own to play, she is eating her solid foods much better now. (In other words, taking real bites instead of just spitting it back out.) She is also rolling over from her back to her tummy, something I was sure she would never learn how to do. But I spied on her from the kitchen the other morning, and caught her in the act of her very first rollover all by herself and totally unprompted. She was all alone, but of course I rushed in to make a big deal of it! And last night she rolled over in her crib before falling asleep. Then she did it again this morning when she woke up. The only problem: she doesn't like to be on her tummy, but she doesn't know how to roll back over again...so she gets mad and needs a little help! Sigh. Life is full of challenges at 6 months. The picture below was taken immediately following her first rollover! Nice work, Corinne.
