So much has changed here lately, most of which has been captured in the videos. Raelye is crawling super fast! We've made the dining room into her playroom so we can keep her corralled. She started pulling up once we got back home from Texas. She loves to stand up and hold onto whatever she can.
Raelye is also eating everything in sight. She has started chewing and loves to eat yogurt melts, puffs, freeze-dried fruits, and pancakes! We talked to Nanny & Daddy Bill other morning (they are on their way to see us next week) and told them all three of us had pancakes for breakfast! Nanny said she didn't think it was such a great idea to feed Raelye something so sweet. I had to remind her that pancakes don't automatically come with syrup on them :) Raelye loves them plain.
Raelye is sleeping almost all the way through the night. She wakes up once for a bottle then goes back to sleep. We have weaned completely to the bottle.
Today was challenging at times. Raelye was crabby throughout most of the day. I believe she is getting more teeth is as the drool has increased dramatically in the past few days. She was standing in her playroom and I was in the living room. She pulled up on the babygate and fussed out a few m's and a "Mama" mixed in. She hasn't wanted to eat as many solids in the past few days except what she can chew (this issue reiterates the teething hypothesis). She went to bed tonight then woke back up and wouldn't be patted back down. Daddy brought the bottle back up to us and she drank the rest of it down. She reached up and grabbed two of my fingers and pulled my hand down onto her chest and held her hand on top of mine. Made me forget what a challenge today had been and then I had a hard time putting her down in her bed.

Raelye pulling up!
Raelye has started to pull herself up this week! She's doing a fantastic job and trying to start stepping to the side.
She is crawling superfast! She's so hard to keep up with. She likes to follow you if you step out of the room. Raelye loves chasing the cat and is getting better and better at catching her.
I believe I heard "mama" come out this weekend. We've been practicing for a while but she likes to just smile really big when she hears "mama" or "daddy".
We were in Texas for a week to spend time with Gabby & Pa & Aunt Jadie for her 21st birthday. Raelye rode the donkey, surfed on the donkey, loved the dogs, played with a new boyfriend (Wyatt - Angie & Chris Adams' little boy), swam in her pool, traveled to see Gaga, saw Granny's house, met Kayla & Brandon, ate a Pappadeaux's, and helped Jadie recover on the way to the airport. This was our first trip without Daddy. Raelye was really good but missed him terribly. She talked to him on the phone then was searching all around for him.
Couple other things I forgot to mention: Raelye is starting to sit up from the crawling position. She started this when we were in Stephenville. She is also starting to chew on her food, which means we will be heading towards table food before long! We have also started weaning, not fully yet but working about 50/50.

Six Month Dr Appointment
Raelye had her six month doctor appointment this morning! She did fabulous and only let out a little whimper on the 2nd shot. Dr. Husarik said Raelye is 17.1 lbs., 26 in., and her head is 17 in. She is in the 75th percentile for weight & length; 50-75th percentile for head circumference. Dr. Husarik said we can continue with all the fruits & veggies we want just no citrus, protein, or dairy yet. Raelye's next dr appointment isn't until 9 months and Dr. Husarik said Raelye ought to be running by then!
