6 Months!

Hope is officially six months old today. And such a joy. She remains incredibly happy and sociable. She is sitting on her own and doing a little bit of "scuuching". Crawling can't be far off. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've got my hands pretty full, so I'm not sure if I'm ready to be chasing her around, but, by the same token, it might allow me to put her down a bit more. At present, I can only put her down for short periods, especially when I'm really trying to get something done. Like cook dinner. Almost every night, I'm preparing dinner like I'm preparing for a tandem ski dive. It's a little dicey removing things from the oven with a small child hanging off your chest and belly.

Thanks for checking in! Pics soon!
