Tearing up the paper at the dr. office 6 month check up

Trying to eat the paper!

This is what we call her Lazy boy!

We went to the dr. today for Aly's 6 month check up. She weighs 18lbs 4oz (80th percentile), is 26" long (45%) and her head was 16 3/4 (41%). She looks very healthy and thank the lord no ear problems!!!

She told me we could start giving her some table foods along with her baby food, just mashed up veggies, crackers and soft things. Since she is not a big fan of veggies, this might work better trying to get some veggies in her. She also said we could start trying her with a sippy cup which is very exciting to me b/c i'm pretty much over washing bottles. It will be a while before she gets the hang of it enough to use for formula but its a step. It kinda crazy it seems like she has just grown right up in the past 2 months. She's holding her own bottle, eating table food, sippy cups, its kind of sad to me, because she is growing so so fast!

Things are going great with Shannon keeping her 3 days. I feel so comfortable with her and aly is always happy to see her in the morning and is always smiling when I pick her up. That makes such a huge difference!!!!

We are loving her at this age though, she has so much personality and everyone comments on how happy and beautiful she is. We are truly blessed!
