6 months old and eating solids!!

Maeva turned 6 months yesterday.
We are very fond of our little babo. She is mostly happy, content, alert, playful unitl she is hungry and then she turns agitated and grumpy.
She squeals loudly when she can't find her pacifier. She screams knowing that someone will come to her aid and stick the pacifier back into her mouth.

This morning, I mashed some banana and gave her a few spoonfuls. She took it all in, and wanted more but the nurse adviced to introduce it slowly so that her stomach adjusts gradually. Because this food transition can be hard on her bowels, we're giving her gripe water to help her digest.
Maeva is very strong in the legs, she kicks a lot and loves being in an upright position. She still sleeps to music. In the last few weeks, she would sleep at 10pm and wake up at 5-6am, crying for the susu. Gui would get up to bring her from her cot so that I could breastfeed her.
This early wake up routine means that my day starts a little earlier than usual, but it also give me some time in the morning with her before I go to work.
I'd feed her and then walk outside and watch the quiet street. Her eyes and body would turn quickly to catch sounds, like the singing birds, the distant train, the neighbour's cat or the passing car. I love letting her hands touch surfaces, like the fence, the mailbox, the leaves of the tree in the garden. Her feels the surfaces lightly at first, contemplates for a moment, and then scratches at it with all her strength.
Maeva is happiest when she is in the bath, playng in her waker while someone is watching her, shes also happiest when she is wel fed and lying on the floor with her toes in her mouth, or watching people talk while she is cuddled.
She is a thing of beauty, my little babooooo...
