6 Months

Paige is just starting to try to crawl.  I decided to show you in pictures rather than a video (I'll do a video when she can crawl for real and it's not so boring to watch).  She starts out by finding her target...the camera strap...

Then she pulls her chubby little legs underneath herself

But can't figure out where to go from there...

And she usually ends up scooting herself backwards, or toppling to the side...

 It makes her pretty frustrated... until mommy caves and just gives her what she was after.

 Success!!

Paige also can drink through a straw.  We found this out kind of by accident.  I was drinking something and Paige grabbed it and got the straw into her mouth.  I decided to let her chew on it for a second because she was so proud of herself, and she actually got some drink through the straw.  I have since given her a few things like smoothies and water, and she loves drinking from a straw.  Here she is drinking a homemade vanilla bean frappuccino, Lucas's new favorite and probably now Paige's.

I can't believe our little girl is already 6 months old.  She seems so huge to me, but she's pretty average as far as percentile goes.  She has been super drooly for months now, but lately it seems like she's been chewing on things a little more, and is a little fussier than usual when she gets tired.  I wouldn't be surprised if one of her teeth popped through any day now.  She's growing up so fast, but we're having fun with her and we love her more every day.
