Callie's New Tater Tot

It has this very gnawable birdie on it...

and all these fun tags...

and you can't see it, but my name is hand-embroidered on it...

I LOVE it!!

My Wonderful Husband

is off to buy me an ice cream. With peanut butter cup pieces. Yum!

And it was all his idea.

Six Month Pictures and Stats

It never fails to crack me up when I go in and she's found some crazy way to sleep...

Sitting up in her crib. She's all over the thing - she can turn on the little kick piano at the end, she can get anywhere there is a toy, pick it up, and take it wherever she wants. :)

We started solids last week. Mama didn't think that rice cereal sounded very yummy, so we started with single grain oatmeal. Sometimes, it's a "hit", sometimes, it's a "miss"...

We tried avacados tonight.

They made a big green mess.

I have sweet potatoes and peas to bake/steam and puree for her next foods. If anyone has any recommendations for making babyfood, I sure welcome them. :)

I think this is the cutest dress EVER. It's a Ralph Lauren, and I NEVER would have spent the full price on it, but it was on sale, and Callie got a gift card for Christmas, so...

We had her Six Month Well Baby Check Up and Shots today. Dr Simon is suitably impressed that she is sitting up well, trying to crawl, and passing things from one hand to the other. He also thinks that she has a great personality and likes that she doesn't seem to complain much - even for shots.

Callie is 15.7 lbs and 25.75 inches long. Her head circumfrence is 17 inches.

She's still hanging out on the 50/50 growth curve.

Shameless Plug ... and 6 Month Pics (9 days early)

My Good Buddy Mandy Davis took these fabulicious pictures of my sweet girl yesterday.

If you're in the neighborhood, Mandy is the Studio Manager at Dinsmore Studio in Oklahoma City

Wes says no nekkid pics, so...

I'm going to just have to tell you that Callie REALLY REALLY likes being able to sit up in the bath. And looks really cute.

And this is how she woke up this morning:

Happy girl seems to be feeling much better. I've run the humidifier in her room for a few days and her crusty orphan-child nose turned into a runny orphan-child nose sometime yesterday and this morning, she's all free and clear and smiley!
