6 months!

I've been wanting to post some pictures, but since our harddrive crashed I haven't been able to upload any for awhile. Hopefully I will have new pics soon!
It's hard to believe, but Meredith is already 6 months old! She is such a funny little person now! She has developed such a cute little personality and is getting to be such a big girl! In the past week, she has really started sitting up a lot more....with help of course, but she can balance for a few seconds on her own without any support. She really is getting the army crawl down and can pop up onto all fours really fast now! She still hasn't figured out how to move one of her hands forward to truly crawl, but she rocks back and forth and eventually ends up on her belly and pushes off with her feet to scoot forward.
Her first food was peas and that went much better the second time around than the first and then we moved to green beans, which she seemed to like pretty well. Since it has been a week with just the green vegetables, I decided to try a fruit this morning. She seemed to be a bit startled by the applesauce at first since it is so sweet and different from the veggies, but she quickly decided that she liked it and was almost holding her mouth open for more, which has never happened before!
I also put her in the excersaucer this morning and she loved it and played for a good 30-40 minutes in it before she got tired and went down for a nap. I think she is really liking to be more upright lately. I'm wondering how much longer she will put up with her carseat, which is the typical Graco infant one that clicks into the base in the car. It is really reclined and I think she is getting ill when she has to spend any amount of time in it and she tries to pull herself up to a more sitting position, which obviously doesn't go well since she is strapped in! I'm thinking we will be moving to a bigger carseat soon...not to mention that her feet are starting to hang over the edge of the little one!
Chris has been out of town since Thursday. He is out in Arizona visiting his best friend, Randy. They have been playing golf every day and having a good time. I must admit that I'm proud of myself because I think I've done a good job with Meredith all by myself! I don't know how single parents do it day in and day out though. I wore myself out just taking her all the way over to my mom's two days in a row, plus working and doing anything else!
Yesterday we went over to Hillary & Joey's place they will be living in after the wedding to help with some cleaning and painting. It is a cute old bungalow over in Durham. It needs some TLC, but I think it will be a really good starter place for them!
Well, this post is long enough and I should get some other stuff done while Mer is sleeping! She took over a 2 hour long nap yesterday, so maybe she'll do the same today!
Not looking forward to her 6 month pediatrician appointment tomorrow....more shots :(
