6 months and counting!

Arabella is just over six months now. We can't believe how big she is getting and how fast it has been going by. Here are some updates on her - 

• weighs in at just over 17lbs
• 25 inches long
• is wearing 6/9 month clothing
• sits up completely on her own (for almost 3 weeks now)
• on her tummy she can pivot and move backwards
• reaches out to be picked up
• loves sweet potatoes, squash, mango, pumpkin, prunes and pears
• hates apples, avocado and peas
• eats dinner every night and we just started adding in breakfast
• loves to drink ice water out of mommy's cup
• loves dakota 
• really loves cali

Here are a few new pics and videos of Arabella. This first video was taken by Will and shows you how much Ara-b loves Cali. I can't believe Cali just lets her do this, Cali is always coming over and sitting by there and letting her do her version of petting. It is too cute. If I did that to Cali she would bite me, but not Ara-b.

Her are some pictures of us while we are waiting to get the ferry out to Peaks Island. It was Arabella's first boat ride. It was too cold to go outside though, we were all bundled up.

 This is after her bath, doing some cuddling while we dry off. She is such a sweety.

 We tried to get Dakota in there but he didn't look the first time, so we had to take another one.

Sitting & Playing!

Ara-B has been working on sitting now for weeks and she has almost got it down. She will fall to the side occasional but if she has something to focus on she will do good for a bit. Here is a video we took of her today playing with her new vtech toy. 

She loves her new toy,  there is another video of her below in her bumbo playing with the new toy. It has legs that can be on/off or one on so you can slope it to her. She was giggling and laughing. I think it is stimulus overload for her... it has lights, sings and talks.
