Lorelei will be six months in one week and had her first taste of cereal yesterday. For the past several weeks she has been interested in watching us eat and has started lunging for our plates and cups when she's near enough. So we finally gave in to starting her on solids and she loved it. Julianne actually got to give her the first several bites and did a really good job helping. Papa and Gigi even got to give some bites too. Lorelei has also improved her form while sitting. She is much steadier and can sit for longer periods of time. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl.

Notice the pillows around her - just to make the fall a little more gentle


Lorelei's first carousel ride


Lorelei loves chewing on her hands


Classic Lorelei face - "I want to eat you."


When on her belly she moves her legs like she wants to go somewhere, but usually it results in her flipping over onto her back


"Here Lorelei. Don't you want this huge bite of rice cereal?"


"What do you think?"


"Am I supposed to like this?"

She wanted to take over feeding herself and took the spoon
