Natalie is 6 months old today! Where has the time gone?! She is really into everything these days, grabbing at whatever she can reach. Allen and I learned just how far her reach extends the other day when we sat her in the Bumbo so we could eat our breakfast. A moment later, I turned around and thought, "How did she get into coffee grounds?" Allen was as confused as I was, thinking, "How did she get pepper all over herself?" As it turns out, she was a wee bit too close to a potted plant and had grabbed a handful of potting soil. Luckily only a little bit made it into her mouth. But I'll tell ya, it brought a whole new meaning to the term "dirty" diaper.
In addition to perfecting the art of grabbing everything in sight, Natalie is now rolling in both directions, passing objects from one hand to another, and sitting up by herself for short periods of time. She doesn't seem too interested in learning to crawl quite yet, but I'm sure she'll surprise me one day by just deciding that she's ready and going for it.
Tomorrow we have her 6-month checkup with the pediatrician and I'll report back with her latest stats. I'm pretty sure the pediatrican is going to tell us that she's ginormous - - but in a good way. Also, stay tuned for Natalie's first experience with cereal on Saturday!
