I feel like this month has definitely brought on the most changes yet.  She started eating solids (rice cereal on 8/1/13, sweet potatoes on 8/4/13), she loves toys, she started sitting up for more than just a few seconds at a time (sat up for almost 5 minutes on 8/20/13), she discovered her toes, and her personality just seems to keep developing.  She also got her first "Hair Cut" this month.  She had some scraggly long hairs that had never fell out with the rest of them, so I decided to take scissors to them on 8/13/13. Now her hair is a little more uniform.

 She gets very messy while eating, we now use a bib

She loves to eat her toes

 

For the most part she continues to sleep well, going to bed between 8 and 8:30pm and waking up usually around 7:30am.  Still doesn't really like to nap, I usually get 30-45 minute naps out of her.  At the end of the month she started to drop her last nap, so most days she takes 3 short naps. She still hates her tummy and doesn't like to roll over very often. She loves to smile at anyone who will smile at her and loves to giggle. She is still a very happy baby almost all the time we are very lucky.  Her 6 month check up went well.  She is very healthy.  We are still trying to get her head rounded out, but her doctor continues to tell not to worry about it and to just keep doing what we are doing ( I think we might try to get a 2nd opinion).  She had to get more shots and she introduced me to a new cry, her "I'm in pain and I can't believe you just did that to me" cry.  The whole doctors office got introduced to it.  The doctor said that if a 6 month old could swear, that's what it would sound like.

 

Here are a few more random pictures from throughout the month:

Every once in a while I can get her to smile while on her tummy

Still loves to make faces, she started to do one that we call her denture smile because it looks like an old man who forgot to put his dentures in.
