December 21: Today I had my first banana... yum, yum. And I tried warm whole grain rice cereal, which is a big improvement over cold flavorless mush.
December 21: I think I have a cold. I am coughing and I have a fever but it doesn't seem so bad: I'm still my usual energetic and smiley self...
December 22: There are suitcases and bags everywhere - what's happening?
December 23: This morning, I was fever free. I am off to Aix-en-Provence. See you all in a bit and happy holidays.
December 28: Boy I hate long car rides! Our B&B in Aix was nice (my first hotel stay!), but it sure feels good to be back in my own bed. Pics soon...
December 31: My first new year's eve - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1... happy 2010 everyone. Now I have to go to bed.

Look how well I sit! Two weeks ago, I needed a hand on the ground for support. A couple of days ago, I was still wobbly and here I am stable with no hands. Progress has been rapid!

[Sitting is so much fun! (January 1)
[I love this sitting thing... (January 1)]
January 3: A few weeks ago, I discovered how to suck on my foot when lying down. I just figured out how to reach it by leaning forward when sitting.
January 3: On Saturday Dec. 26th I tried my first petit pot but it was not as good as homecooking. Daddy, please keep making me those yummy purees.
January 4: I had fun today in my first full day at the nursery! I sat on the mat, I played in the walker, and I ate potatoes, zucchini and carrots!

As you know, yesterday was my 6 month birthday. So I am going to tell you about some of my favorite things these days in the next couple posts.

My favorite thing in the whole world: food! I love breastfeeding...
[This was my last daytime feed as starting at 6 months I had breastmilk morning and evening
and formula during the day (January 10)]
... and I love my vegetable purees. Now that I am six months old, I get to eat in my own chair.

[Yuuuuum (January 10)]
When I am not eating, I like reading books...

... and playing in my playspace
especially with my links.
I like sitting up all on my own...
... and standing (with a little help from the table).
January 12: I also like music especially Guantanamera and Mozart piano and violin sonatas.
And most of all I like hugs and kisses and being carried around in my parents' arms!
