I've been super busy editing sessions and making albums the last couple weeks. You'll notice there are quite a few sessions uploaded to my blog. During this process I've been photographing Linnea quite a bit this week. She's changing fast and one thing I noticed is that last week she has a new squeal and it's quite high pitched and very loud! Today, another thing has changed. Although Linnea can roll over and has since 3 1/2 months old she only started rolling over in order to reach something if she wanted it. So today she exhibited rolling over from her back to her stomach several times in a row in order to grab and suck on a toy. And tonight she even rolled from her stomach back to lying on her back. She seems more content on her stomach these days and has her legs moving as if she wants to crawl. I think that'll be the next step....ack!!! She's quite stable sitting up on the couch now and loves her exersaucer and merry muscles (aka jolly jumper). She giggles and laughs a ton and enjoys peek-a-boo more than ever. Since she has 2 teeth now (which arrived 2 weeks ago) she continues to teethe and chomp on anything she can get a hold of. Starting her on solid foods soon will be the next step. I'm not sure if I'm ready for her to eat solids yet, but it's exciting! Which food will we start her on? Any ideas? I'm thinking a vegetable like yams or beets or peas...we'll see.
Here are some more photos of Linnea...lots in action, lots of her mouth as it's so fascinating to me and of course her eyes. Linnea turns 6 months old on October 28th. I can hardly believe she is halfway to being a year old already. Time is just flying by and I she's such a joy in our lives.
You'll notice a shot where Linnea's hand is blurred in the foreground and her eye/face is in the background. I was getting really close to her and she went and grabbed my lens and actually touched and smudged it. I thought the shot was pretty cool and fun so I included it. There are also shots of her moving and playing on the ground and sucking on her dolphin squeaky toy.

Hey Rach!
I know I've commented about these awesome pics in your FB acct but I just loved reading your post here too. Linnea is sure growing up fast and is such a little sweetie! For solids I would definitely suggest yams/sweet potatoes and organic plain yogurt. Tofu is also a good one. These are things I remember my mom feeding Sasha, and I think when I first started solids as a baby it was mashed banana and yogurt! Just some food for thought ;)
