Anna's sixth month

This month was a little quieter - no big trips.  We did take Anna on a few hikes.  She's finally getting big enough to ride in the backpack.  Here we are with our friend Anne at Falls Ridge, a neat area with a limestone cave and a stream full of calcium deposits.  

Here's Anna sleeping in her crib.  She moves around a lot now, and seems to like to have her feet on the bars.

Anna is also getting better at sitting up.  So with a little help, she's able to sit in her high chair...

 And Eat!  Here's her first experience with oatmeal.

Sitting up also makes it easier for Anna to watch her favorite friend - The General!  He still likes to spend time with her, but likes to stay just out of reach...
