Eliza Rose: Six Months Old

Happy 6 months Eliza Rose (a week late)! She is so happy, has such an easy going disposition, and loves watching the world around her. This month, she found her toes, can roll easily from back to tummy, started sitting with support, started eating food, and she loves 'singing' and babbling at us. 
Eliza is growing fast! At her 6 month appointment earlier this week she weighed almost 18.75 lbs in the 90%, she is 26'' long in the 50%, and her head is in the 50%. She wears 6/9 month clothes and is barely squeezing into her size 2 diapers that we are trying to finish using.
Proud to be sitting! She loves being upright and checking things out.
Eliza loves bath time with daddy, and she likes to kick the water and play with little toys.
Eliza eats 5/6 times a day, and she loves her milk! It's been an exciting couple of weeks introducing her to solid foods. So far, she has had rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, carrots, and pears! 
Unfortunately, she has not been the awesome sleeper that she was initially. She used to sleep 10-12 hours straight at night, but then began waking several times a night this past month. We started sleep training earlier this week and it is going really well. She gets tired easy and the last few nights have been much better. But with a sweet face like this, she makes the wake ups a little easier :)
Eliza is getting right into the groove with the boys....or shall I say they are roping her in. They like dressing her up in their costumes, playing peek-a-boo, reading books, and singing to her. They truly adore their little sister, and we are so thankful for the love they are developing for her.
Happy 6 months Eliza Rose, we love you sweet girl!
