Ashlyn turned 6 months old on May 9, 2011. She is now crawling forward (she started with backwards) all over the place. If there is something that's on the floor she wants, she has no problem going to get it. She's getting better about using her knees, but for a while there she was doing the bear crawl; i.e. crawling on her hands and feet. It was pretty funny to watch though!
She also just started eating twice a day and drinking 8 ounces with every bottle. She can now hold her own bottle (yay! It's so much easier that way when you're busy). We all got a terrible stomach bug, which started with Ashlyn getting it first. We had to cut back on the food and regular formula for a while so she lost a little weight.
At her 6 month check-up she was in the 70% for height (who knows where she got that), the 38% for weight, and the 30% for head size....at least she doesn't have a big head! We have problems with putting pants on her because all of them are either fit at the waist but are too short, or they are the right length but always falling down. Ramon and I sing to her "Pants on the ground, pants on the ground!" Here are a few recent pictures of the hunny-bunny.

She is learning to pull up on things, but she can't pull herself up to something as high as her crib. We sometimes stand her up in different places in the house (like in her crib, or holding on the ottoman). She will stand there for a some time (5-10 minutes) and it's quite obvious she is VERY proud of herself. She wants you to notice that she's being a big girl.
