This is the face that greets me after a nice, long afternoon nap! Probably her greatest accomplishment in my book is that she is sleeping through the night!!hallelujah! It took some work...and many tears all around, but it was not as bad as I thought and it was well worth it, for all of us!
Lucy already enjoys family scripture study. She really likes those scriptures! ;) She has started the grabbing phase. Nothing in your hands is safe!
Before mommy went shopping for a hat...we had to improvise with one of mommy's. I think she looks like a little Babushka! The second one-MUCH BETTER! So cute. All decked out for winter!
Oh how I love each and every one of these sweet faces. Lately, she makes funny mouth/lip movements as she is discovering her 2 new teeth. She has had these for about a month now. They are up and poking through quite nicely. It makes her smile even cuter. But she no longer gets to suck on mommy's fingers because those suckers are SHARP! (and no she wasn't really that ornery or anything during the process-we dodged yet another bullet! thanks Luc!)
-She loves watching the leaves fall off the trees out the window- it's so cute. She also will stare at the trees branches blowing in the wind with there bright colors. (the bottom left picture- "get me out of here!" she does get bored!) 
She still has the biggest most curious eyes around. She looks and listens very intently! Aww those eyes are my favorite!
She is now officially rolling, scooting and shifting...all over! I got to make sure the floor is clear for about a 6 foot radius or she will get it! We are still working on sitting up...but she does okay by herself-for about 10 seconds.
Here are a few more things she is up to:
-A big one is the Lu Bug is now eating baby food! And loving it as I have mentioned before. In fact she likes it so much she won't really eat the plain ole rice cereal as well. She is soo demanding and impatient (maybe there is a bit of me in her after all) when it comes to food. She sits in her highchair panting like a dog and kicking her legs between each spoonful. We can't keep up with her! I think her favorites so far have been bananas and carrots....but there hasn't been anything that she really hasn't taken to. Oh and she LOVES sucking on pieces of peach in hermesh ring thing...i mean lOVES it! She also is a true baby and loves her cheerios. (also proving she is her grandma J's Grandaughter) She loves Gerber puffs too...a little too much!

- She loves music and dancing. If I hold her and pretend we are dancing around-twirling and such she just giggles in delight! see video #3
- I bet...actual I know because it's happened...she can be left in her jumping/bouncy saucer thing for an hour or more and be completely entertained. She loves it! She is a jumper for sure!
- She is a social butterfly- she loves being around people. People watching is a favorite pastime of hers. Even if it's past her naptime and she is grumpy-take her out with people and it will hold her off for a good 30 min.
- Having said that- she does already have stranger anxiety. As long as we are in the room- she wants me or daddy to hold her. Good thing she has a short term memory and if we leave she is fine.
- Walks in the stroller or the front carrier are also a good time killer when she needs to be held off for bed but is a little ornery. What kid doesn't love a good walk.
-When she is playing on the floor and usually when she wants something out of reach she makes a crazy screeching noise, she just yells and screams...we call it the Pterodactyl. (that screechy, flying dinosaur) see video #5
These video's are really worth it! (they are not that long..)
Wrapping it all up with her 6 month stats:
Height: 26 3/4 (85%)
Weight: 15-15 (50%)
Head: 18 (95%)
So she has leveled out in the weight department, had a height growth spurt and has a humongo head apparently!
if you made it through this whole post you deserve an award! :)

Awww! I'm so happy for you! She's adorable! I'm jealous about her sleeping through the night but Jimmy is so soft-hearted that it takes a while for him to be okay with the CIO thing. We'll get there. Sounds like Lucy is right on track. I wish Clara would like to be in her bumbo but she is sooo over it and can push herself right out. She only likes to sit up by herself.
Six months already - what a doll! She is adorable.
I love this little girl! :D
she is sooo CUTE!! what a little cheeser!!! LOVE the update!!! ahhh, someday i hope i get a little girl as cute as lucy!! :)
So cute! What a fun stage!
So sweet! You take darling pictures of her. Nice work documenting..she'll appreciate it. :)
Yay for huge headed babies! (We can definitely relate to that statistic.) She's so cute.
I don't know why, but when I saw that very first picture my immediate thought was, "Wow, she looks like her dad." (Though they change so often, who really knows.)
Happy 6 months!
from here on out you'll keep thinking THIS is the best stage..wait, no THIS.
she is so darling! {and I personally like all the photos, how could you be expected to only post a couple of such a sweet little face}
She is so dang cute! I am jealous of her sleeping through the night. J used to, but the last couple weeks (since we moved) he hasn't. Her little pterodactyl noise is so cute!
Happy six months! She really is adorable. And every stage just gets more and more fun from here on out!
