not feeling well

...my Mommy put this picture of me up because she'd like to think this is how I should always be. Today I'm suffering from a very plugged nose. Is is teething? Is it a cold? Is it from the vaccine? Only time will tell...

the stats are in

...and for those of you wondering my current statistics:
Weight: 16 lbs
Height: 261/2 inches
Head: 163/4 inches

I'm in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Just a thin little girl. The doctor says I'm doing well!

happy 6 months to me!

...and today I turned 6 months.

I have had so many great adventures this past month - I can't believe how the time has flown by! Mommy & Daddy are surprised too! I have hit many milestones, and I love showing my Mommy & Daddy my new tricks.

Well, here's to another great 6 months!

walking girl

...of course it's in a walker - but still, how fun!

Mommy says soon I'll be able to walk on my own!

teething is hard to do

...and last night I didn't seem to sleep through the night.

Mommy & Daddy are quite tired today, as I didn't care to sleep through the night. I was awfully tired, but I just didn't want to sleep. Mommy says that I'm teething, and that happens sometimes. Of course, I spoil them...I usually sleep 12 hours each night! So I think Mommy & Daddy are a bit sad that I didn't live up to their expectations!

Tomorrow is the wedding anniversary of my Mommy & Daddy - 3 years! They were married in the Gazebo at Heritage Park; it was a very sunny day.

happy unbirthday party

...Friday I'll turn 6 months!
My Mommy & Daddy thought it would be cool to throw an Unbirthday Party for me. They've invited Nana & Papa Brown and Grandma and Grandpa Martin. Daddy is making dinner - chicken with a creamy barley side and Mommy is making dessert - an apple pie.

The apples came from apple picking yesterday. We went to Apple Charlie's to pick them. My Mommy & Daddy seem to enjoy picking fruit. First it was blueberries...now it is apples. How fun!

pacifiers

...yesterday Mommy bought me a two-pack of my favorite car toy: the Soothie Pacifier.

Mommy & Daddy tried many different pacifiers when I was first born. I was NOT happy with any of the pacifiers. However, Miss Monica gave my Mommy a Soothie Pacifier awhile back, and I immediately loved it! I use it to chew on and to sooth my gums. It's become a staple in the car, especially on rides that I'm unhappy.

another wednesday

...25 weeks old today...
Such adventures this week. Mommy and I spent some of Sunday at a family reunion. My Papa Brown's family were those in attendance. Daddy stayed home to get some housework done - but I got to visit with family I never met before!

Monday Mommy and I spent the day doing laundry, playing and relaxing from such a busy weekend.

Tuesday (yesterday) Mommy and I went to the Mother & Baby Support Group at St. Mary Mercy Hospital. It's the second Tuesday of each month, and we got to see friends like Miss Monica & Asher, Miss Suzanne and Lily, and Miss Lisa and Brady. We also got to meet some new faces too!

pictures from sears

...well, Mommy is glad that is over!
Apparently I was supposed to smile when I was at the portrait studio. I was all smiles in the waiting area, Mommy said that I was not very interested in smiling once I got into the picture area. I guess I was too busy intently watching everything that was happening. I finally did smile, and the photographer was able to get some really good photos of me. We will pick them up on Monday the 19th. Mommy can't wait.

picture friday

...today I get professional pictures taken at Sears Portrait Studios.
Mommy is nervous, you should see her! She ironed my clothes yesterday and even cut two long bang hairs that weren't very becoming (at least to her). I'm so photogenic, it really doesn't matter what I wear or what my hair looks like. I'm cute no matter what!

Say a little prayer for my Mommy!

happy tuesday!

...what a busy weekend!
On Saturday my Mommy & Daddy had a party and a lot of fun people came over. My friend (and cousin), Emma was here and so was Reaghan! I was a really lucky girl. Sunday we spent the afternoon with my Nana and Papa. Then yesterday I went to my Grandma and Grandpa Martin's house. Aunt Sarah and Uncle John were there too! We had a really good time - I even took an hour nap in my Daddy's old bedroom!

Today Mommy has lots of laundry to do. Tomorrow we are going to Heritage Park - where Mommy & Daddy got married 3 years ago. Miss Monica and Asher are meeting us there for lunch. So today Mommy wants to just relax and get some things done around the house - of course I always have fun!

play date

...and today I had a play date with Asher.
Asher is a friend I met at our Mother & Baby Support Group. Mommy talked with Asher's mommy, Monica, and they realized how close we lived. So a month ago we got together for our first play date, and today we saw each other again!

We had so much fun at the park -


We are the best of buddies!

happiness

...happiness is sleeping all night, sweet potatoes, seeing my Mommy!
