Todd just sent me a new batch of photos from his camera, so here they are. What's new with Lena, you ask? Today, she sat in her booster seat for the first time. I've bought the rice cereal, but I haven't opened the box yet. Maybe this week Lena will start solids? She's 5 1/2 months now, so it should be coming soon. Her favorite song is still "The Bear Went Over the Mountain." We only know two verses: mountain and river. She's going to be shocked when she hears "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." She is reaching and grabbing and touching and turning pages. We think she might be starting to teeth, but it's hard to say. She can nap in her crib during the day now, but still sleeps very sound in the green baby sling that I wear. It's a good trick if she's cranky but exhausted and wants to be near. Though today, she fell asleep while playing in her crib. She still loves bath time and kicks and splashes really well. I haven't even introduced toys to bath time yet. She really likes her stationary musical jumper and her door jumper. Her legs are very strong. She scoots around on the floor, but isn't crawling yet.
And, she's an expert at making funny faces!
