Texas Surprise

Aunty Anna surprised us all by driving in from Texas! I love being kissed by a beautiful girl.

Special Visitors

Gammie & Poppy were here to celebrate being thankful with me!

Floor Time

Sweet Times Grandpa & Gigi

I loved visiting Grandpa & Gigi today. I get lots of hugs and give my sweetest smiles.

Prayers

An adaptation of a (Hindu) prayer from Inayat Khan
"Gracious and loving God, send your peace, that we may think, act and speak harmoniously; that amidst our worldly strife, we may enjoy your bliss. Send your peace, that our lives may become a divine vision of paradise in this very moment. Amen."

6 Month Check-In

Happy 6 Month Birthday to Me!
* I've graduated from the preemie growth charts and am measured with my peers:
Height = 25 1/4 inches (25th percentile)
Weight = 15 lbs 8 oz (25th percentile)
Head Circ = 16 3/4 (10th percentile)
* Still loving my neocate and now my neocate cereal! Eating is one of my favorite passtimes.
* I enjoy looking at books, playing peekaboo, puppet shows, skyping with Pappy & Gi/Gammie & Poppy, visits to my new room at Nana & G-Force's house and as always my baths and mirror time. I've recently become aware of the television, memorized by the flashing colors.
* Still sleeping through the night! 7PM bedtime and I rise and shine with lots of smiles around 7AM.
* Eye contact is very important to me right now (especially during my Level 5 conversations).
So far, I'm healthy and happy!

Tummy Time

Still adjusting!?!

Sleepy Milk Face

Happy High Chair

My new high chair and I are getting along great. With my excellent "holding-up-my-enormous-head" skills and the tiny teeth poking in, I'm going to start eating some cereal this week. Sweet!

Thank you to all the Reese family who bought this awesome high chair as my welcome to the world gift!

Vikings vs Packers

I've given up on the Cowboys this year. Despite the influences, I'm still undecided about my favorite NFL team.

My Very Special Friend

Eric is Miss Sarah's baby boy and I love when he comes to play with me. He is my very special friend!

Recent Highlights

* Almost 6 months of age
* May have a few teeth moving around or thinking about coming in?!?...so I love to put my fingers in my mouth
* Weighing in at 14lbs 11oz
* Had 1st Synagis shot this week (4 more to go) to give me a few extra antibodies and hopefully prevent RSV this season
* Mommy starts work on Monday! I'll be with Miss Sarah and my new friend, Eric (her son) on Monday and Thursday. Tuesdays will be with Nana Martha...and I hear she is getting a room ready for me at her house.

Roll Over

I love to show off for Miss Sarah; today I rolled over for the first time!

Aunty Anna

Aunty Anna recently won 3 top ten ribbons in Tulsa, OK at the US National Arabian Horse Show. Congrats to my cool aunt who adores horses!
