6 months and counting!

I am officially 6 months old! I go to the doctor for my well visit next week and am sure I will surprise all with my growth. I am not screaming as much but trying to sound things out. I say dahdahdahdah a lot and daddy likes it because he thinks I am saying it to him. Then my mom gets close and I hear mamamamama but don't know how to say that yet.
For my half year birthday, Grandpa Dallas sent me a present in the mail. It was the cutest pink t-shirt with the Mt. Erie logo on it! And then my name was on the back. How sweet is that! I wore it on my special day for all to see. I am sure he will teach me to climb once I get old enough.

Dad says I am going to be very intellectual when I get older. He is already speaking to me using big words and talks about politics and history. My mom wants to make sure I stay healthy and makes me eat veggies and fruit every night for dinner (which I actually like - I scarf them down). She also makes sure I get time in my walker to build strength in my legs. Guess that must be the teacher in them both. Hey guys, I am not your student, I am your daughter!! heehee

I'm a big girl now!

Here I am, sleeping on the floor on a day when I didn't feel so good. I had some kind of stomach bug and introduced my parents to the joys of baby vomit. I even unleaased in Fred Meyer! But they were very caring and I even got to stay home with Mom one Monday. But I am all better now. I am back to my normal, smiling and talking self.
Look at me! I am sitting up and am not even 6 months quite yet. I still need a pillow just in case I topple over, but I love being able to see the world from a new view. I am also running around in a walker, mostly trying to chase our dog Gourmet. She is a wonderful new friend I love to watch.

I have had many visitors lately. Uncle Neal and Aunt Kristi came down for a weekend and then the following weekend Grandma & Grandpa Kloke came to stay while Mom and Dad went to Vegas. They were gone for 2 nights and I loved my time with the Kloke's! We played, decorated a pumpkin, and really got to know each other well. I know can recognize their voices when they call. I get to squeal at them through the speaker phone!
