6 month pediatrician visit and general updates

I know it's been a while since I posted anything other than photos/videos. Sorry!! Stella's awake a lot more during the day and I no longer have all of that leisure time I used to take for granted. :)

We're all doing really well. Stella's right on track - she enjoyed solid food, as you could see, and is babbling constantly and showing lots more personality. She's even taking music classes. Today she made up a game where she sucked Mommy's face for a while, then pulled back and squealed with delight. I thought it was hilarious as well until I looked in the mirror and saw a big old hickey on my cheek!

She had her 6-month pediatrician visit on Monday. Rob was off and he joined us. She hadn't gained any weight since last month (hard to believe so it's probably a clothing difference) and still weighed in at 17lbs 14oz (80%ile). She's 26" long (65%ile) and her head is 17.25" in circumference (90%tile). No teeth yet but we're keeping an eye out for one any day now.

In other big news - she's sitting up on her own really well now, so we were able to go to our first playdate on Tuesday. She was a little overwhelmed a cried a few times, but it's good for her to get used to other kids so we'll keep going when I can find the time.

The house is still a major work in progress. I finally decided on a sofa for the den and plan to order it tomorrow. Next up- painting, more window treatments, and then maybe we'll get around to hanging something on the walls. It could very well take us a year to get settled in here at the rate I'm going. The wrist injury hasn't helped matters but it seems to be getting a bit better with the brace and the cortisone shot last week.

That's the news from 479. If you're still reading, you must be related to me!

Video: First solid food!

Happy 6-month birthday, Stella. Mama made you some southern sweet potatoes - baked and then pureed. Yum. Enjoy!
