Six months old!

There are so many exciting things to report on. Amara is now over half a year old! We just returned from her 6th month check up and learned that she is in the 80th percentile for height and 30th for weight. She is healthy and doing great! Amara recently began trying solid foods. So far baby oatmeal cereal is her favorite. She also enjoys smashed avocado. Pureed carrot and mashed banana are "maybes". Time to try some more flavors!

Yesterday Amara sat up by herself for full minute. She has learned to support herself with her hand on the ground in front of her. Soon she will not need that support and sit up like a big girl. It was a bittersweet moment for Mom.

Amara loves to make music on her "piano" (great toy from Grandma) and she loves to play peek a boo. Soon we will start swim lessons!!

Five and a half months

I can't believe Amara is five and a half months old already! She looks older by the day and continues to delight us. Last week Boppa Bob and Janny came to visit. We had a lot of fun with them. We spent some time in Del Mar enjoying the ocean view and eating at Jake's. Amara loves to go out to eat with us. Even though she is not enjoying the food, she loves to people watch! Amara also loves reading books and taking walks. She recently visited her friend, Colton, who was born on her due date. They almost look like twins!
