Sierra is 6 months old!

Yesterday, Sierra was officially 6 months old. Where has the time gone? At six months, here's a little bit about Sierra:

* She can sit up for a few seconds, but isn't really stable yet.
* She is up on all fours and lunging around the living room. I have no doubt it will be a full blown crawl in no time.
* She loves to eat and is pretty good at feeding herself "fist foods."
* She does not like crowds . . . AT ALL. We discovered this Thanksgiving Day, and it was confirmed again last night at our Christmas party. Our typically laid back, happy baby becomes pretty hysterical in crowds, to the point of being a challenge to calm down. It's the strangest thing. She has also developed 'stranger anxiety', crying whenever someone she doesn't know well talks to her. Notable exceptions, there have been several 30-something single guys that she has been perfectly happy to spend the evening sitting in their laps.
* She is her daddy's girl, whenever she is crying, Dan gets out the camera to take a picture and she IMMEDIATELY starts smiling. She's a mess!
