6 months old and happy about it!

Lily went to the doctor this past week for her 6 month check-up (although she will be 7 months next week). She checked out great and aside from having a little bout with croup a few weeks back she has been healthy thus far. She weighed in at
17 lb 9oz which is the 70% and her height was 26.5" which is the 75%. We have been giving her rice ceral now for a few months. She is not a fan of it, and i started baby food this week and she gags horribly on this as well. I have decided that it isn't that she doesn't like the taste it is that she doesn't like to swallow it. She has a horrible gag reflux. I know it isn't the taste because she LOVES to suck of "big people food" but once we try to have her eat her food it's worthless. She not only gags like it is the grossest thing ever, but it often is followed by vomitting. She seems to go okay if i totally delute it so its very liquidy...but ugh what a pain. Any helpful ideas?
I will leave you with some recent pictures of out little toots. She is such a HAPPY and content little girl. She loves to "talk" to us, clap her hands (a new trick that grandma koning taught her!), jump around, and try to crawl. She almost has the crawling thing down...in a couple weeks she'll be flying around i'm sure.

Happy as can be!


Daddy's attempt at making Lily a "hunting girl"....it isn't gonna happen :)

The Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we decided to go to Post Family Farms with Brad, Jill, and Ella. Neither of us had been there before but i have heard great things about it from several people. We had a great morning watching the goats, taking a hayride, picking out pumpkins, and of course eatting the yummy pumpkin donuts and apple cider! This might just have to be a new fall tradition.
Here we are spending some time by the goats. They had this really cool contraption where the goats can walk up this ramp and eat the food out of a little can. I should have gotten a picture...of well! Lily liked to watch them walk around...Ella loved letting them lick her little fingers! :)
