Shanny will turn 180 soon

Shannon still can't do a full 180 degree turn - but she's turning halfway all the time to kay-poh and look at what's going on. She's also got her fingers in her mouth 70% of the time - which is bad because everyone says you can't wean her off her fingers, but too late for that anyway.

She just turned 6 (months old) on the US independence day. As one wise man once said, "when they are this young, you celebrate every month!". So, her birthday is the 4th of every month then.

Here's a recent picture of her lying on the bed, happily sucking her fingers, grabbing her foot and doing a cute curl - all at the same time! She's getting very alert these days and pays attention to everything that's happening around her. Next she'll want her own credit card and MP3 player.
