Stella at 6 Months

Stella is 6 1/2 months old and I want to jot a few thing down so I remember this time.
Stella is giggling out loud now! She went form her weird little laugh noise to a full out giggle! It is the best sound in the world.
She blows rasberries and spits all over our faces!
She grabs for everything put in front of her!
She knows how to use her hands and i love how she puts her hand on my mouth and face while I am nursing her.
She loves to grab her daddy's beard and sit on his shoulders. She uses his hair as her reins :)
She is getting a bit more interested in the thought of crawling. She can push her upper body up, but hasn't mastered the lower half yet. I am enjoying her not being so mobile.
She is eating carrots (which were the first veggie), rice cereal, sweet potatoes and peas. She is a very hearty eater!
At her 6 month visit we found out that she is in the 110th percentile for height and 75th for weight.
She loves when I play the guitar for her. She smiles and bounces up and down in her workshop (exersaucer).
She is TEETHING! I just want her bottom teeth to come in already! I feel so bad for her!
Stella is recognizing her family and smiles when she sees them.
Stella has dropped Groovy Giraffe as a friend (for now) and mainly chills with Amelda.
Stella smiles more than any baby I have ever met. It's insane! I never have to pull out all the stops to get the kid to smile!
Stella loves taking a bath and when I pour the water on her, she puts out her hand and watches it go through her fingers.
She loves being bundled up in her towel after her bath. It's so cute, she smiles so big! Then I put her on the counter where she dances naked in the mirror. She laughs at that as well!
Her poop smells and gets worse everyday! I miss the breastmilk poop!
Stella had her first Halloween and first Thanksgiving and was such a good girl at both.
Morgan and I feel like we won the baby lottery and we constantly say how much we love her and how lucky we feel.
