Eliza's {belated} 1/2 Birthday

She's actually over 7 months by now, so I'm a little behind.  Regardless, we have a beautiful, healthy little girl who could not be any sweeter.  She's 28 inches long and 17.3 lbs, which puts her at the 97% for height and 55% for weight.
She's mastered sitting unsupported, and in the past week, she has started to reach forward for objects just out of her reach.  I have found her several times laying on the floor on her tummy mad that she face-planted.  I'll enjoy having a stationary baby for now as I'm sure she'll be crawling before we know it.
She's tried several foods now...rice cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, and apricots.  Although she initially makes a disgusted face every time, she hasn't refused to eat anything yet.
Of course, she still puts everything she can get her hands on into her mouth.  This makes Maddie mad sometimes when Eliza is trying to eat her toys, but then I tell her that's what babies do, so she laughs and says "silly bean!"
