6 months!

Bear, look...im so old!

AHAHA im half of a year old!

Bear, this movie was a great suggestion. i wonder why the parents keep missing the baby by just a few minutes. i dont think a baby could crawl around chicago all day do you? hes kinda cute though, this baby. hollerrrrr.

Bear, does my butt look cute in these chads?

how about now?

whered The Bear go?

BEAR???

oh, a camera. HELLO!

I DONT THINK MY SHOES MATCH!!!


our little dumpling head is 6 months old already! its crazy how fast time flies. shes getting cuter and cuter each day and i love her so much. shes starting to express herself more and more and she has a very loud voice...like me! yay. i cant even imagine life without her or what my "old" life was like now. it seems so long ago, which is so weird. i love being a mom and love my little fat cheeks more than anything in the world.

baby stats:

weight: 16lbs 4oz (50%)
height: just shy of 27 inches (83%)
head: gigantic (85%)
basically shes like a bobble headed baby super model. long and thin with a giant head. or a brontasauraus. i prefer baby super model.
she can: roll over from stomach to back, back to stomach. sit up for 20-30 seconds but has not mastered the "lets stop ourselves from falling over" reflex. she prefers to stand at all times, and shes showing the inclination to crawl - but not the motor skills yet. ha. shes certainly strong enough though.
she can babble and says dadada (much to my dismay) and ya ya ya.
places travelled: dublin, ohio; seattle, washington; cabo san lucas, mexico. we have some fun trips planned over the next 3 months so the list will continue to grow. jake and i were well travelled children and we want to do the same thing with our kid - especially while she isnt mobile!
