How’s Holly Looking At Six Months?

A sunny Sunday morning + a cute baby + trigger-happy Dad = Holly’s Official Six Month Portrait:

Here she’s actually watching her Mum’s feet wiggle around, but there’s a distinctly teacher-ly look about her sometimes. Like most babies Holly has mastered the Unblinking Stare pretty early on, and she can be pretty scary. Not this time though, here she’s simply in typically full-concentration mode:

At six months she’s well into the ‘much more interesting’ stage now, where she’s taking an active interest in everything around her. Still plenty of random hand-flapping and owl-like head swivelling, but as you can see from the picture above she knows how to lock onto something and give it her full attention.

But sometimes she just larks about with her Mum, Dad and Brother:

I know this is over-exposed but it was that sort of light; we’d just moved into our new place in Shafton, on the outskirts of Barnsley, and a beautiful dose of sunshine made our first morning there a lovely one.
