What's been happening

Wow, were did January go? We have been busy in our little world and I apologize for not keeping you all up-to-date. January started off with the Fiesta Bowl. Go Broncos! Jared was at the game, so Mya and I went to our friends', Mark & Terry, house to watch the game. Here Mya was introduced to cats for the first time. SHE LOVED THEM!!! They were not too sure about her, but when Mark would hold one and let her pet it she would grin from ear to ear and start squawking.She finally started growing into some of her Christmas toys. Below is one of the few shots we have of her actually riding her princess pony. Usually she is draped over it with one ear in her mouth. Either way, it is fun to watch!
Toes are her favorite body part. She loves to play with them, like most babies. But probably more exciting than the actual toes are the socks that mommy covers them with. She is always pulling her socks off and chewing on them. She prefers socks over any teething toy we have! Which reminds me, she has 2 teeth on the bottom now.
We started rice cereal the middle of the month and she took to it very well. It only took a few spoon fulls to catch on to the concept. Below is what she looks like when daddy feeds her, they have fun playing with the food. Mommy keeps her a little bit cleaner, but it did make for a great photo opp!
Mya no longer stays on her blanket during floor time. In a matter of days she went from rolling from her stomach to her back to rolling across the living room in a matter of seconds. I honestly thought she would spend a little longer at the single rollover phase, boy was I wrong! Jared had a solution to keep her in one place, dump out the toy basket and put her in it.
I can't believe how fast this stage is going. Everything is happening all at once. By the time I sit down to blog about the first cute, new thing she is doing she has already done 3 new things. This is crazy! Again, you don't realize what people mean when they say "it all happens so fast," until you have a child of your own.
On the 28th, our baby girl turned 6 months. She weighed in at 16 lbs. and measured 27 in. long.
