6 Months Old

Half way to a year! I cannot believe it! Mary Lee is just growing and changing so fast. She is already half way to a year! What a fast 6 months! We went for Mary Lee's 6 month check up. As always is the case for these doctor's visits, she had to get some shots...NOT FUN!! However, she did GREAT!! She does the same thing every time...she is fine the first second or two and then she realizes what is going on and lets out the saddest cry/yell. After about a minute, she is totally fine! She weighed in at a whopping 18 lbs 12 oz! She is a chunky girl!

This is a picture of Mary Lee on the way home from eating out Easter Sunday. It was sooooooo hot so we stripped her down for the car ride home! Look at those rolls!!

Styling in a new bubble outfit!!

Our happy girl!

Sweet Mary Lee...Mommy and daddy love you so much! We feel so blessed that God chose us to be your parents. We would have never thought that we could or would love you as much as we do! You have stolen our hearts! You bring so much joy to our lives!

Things we want to remember about you at 6 months old:

• The way you can sort of sit up. You are fine until you try to look sideways, up, or down, but you are getting there!
• The way you LOVE to jump in your new jumperoo (see video below)
• Your never-ending smile
• They way you love bath time and sticking your hand under the running water
• Your new LOVE and fascination with toys (especially if they light up or make noise)
• The way you LOVE to eat and fuss if mommy and daddy do not give you the next bite fast enough
• We are starting to think you might be left handed...we shall see!
• The way you love to be sung to sleep and just stare into our eyes as we sing to you
• They way you love to be read to...or maybe you just love eating the books

This video is of the first time Mary Lee played in the jumperoo. She is much better at it now, and she LOVES it!

Eating Like A Big Girl

Mary Lee now LOVES her big girl food (Gerber Step 1 Foods)! She gets fruit mixed with cereal mid-morning and veggies at night! We have been feeding her in her bouncy seat on top of the table, but today, we upgraded to the high chair! She loved sitting in her high chair, and she did GREAT eating her sweet potatoes in the high chair.

Just Hanging Out

I decided I would do a quick post entitled "Just Hanging Out" because we do that a lot! Daddy, Mommy, and Mary Lee LOVE hanging out! We especially love hanging out when Daddy is home and not at the hospital (which is a lot right now on his surgery rotation). Here are some recent pictures of us doing what we do best...Just Hanging Out!

LOL...Laughing out Loud

Mary Lee will often laugh out loud, and it is just so cute! We rarely ever catch it on video, but today we did! Mommy was being silly and making sweet Mary Lee laugh out loud! Enjoy!
