Six Months and Seven Teeth Later

Well our little gal will be a half year tomorrow and it has been an incredible 6 months. She is such a sweet thing with a cheery disposition. Even through her teething, she managed to smile and laugh at our immature jokes. She loves this CD I got from the library by Elizabeth Mitchell, and every time she gets a little fussy in the car we put on the "John the Rabbit" song; Dave sings the "Yes Maams" while I take care of the rest of the song, and Efray immediately stops fussing and kicks her little legs to the beat.

I'll start feeding her solids this week, either avocado or homemade porridge (how quaint huh). If anyone has any advice on first foods, I'd love to hear it. I'm reading Super Baby Foods by Ruth Yaron. Each phase of my gal's life has been accompanied by stacks of books by the bed and whole worlds of knowledge of which I can only hope to retain a fraction. I've always been a cram the night before an exam type of gal, and with parenthood there is no exception.
