6 months

Anna Claire turned 6 months old yesterday!  My how fast this first half year of her life has past.  She has officially also been out the hospital for the longest period of time in her life.  So, very exciting!  She is such a fun little girl.  She just decided in the past week that she likes to sleep.  Yay!  She gets up 1 time a night, but that is a huge improvement!  We had plans to go to the doctor today for a check up and shots, but they called to cancel.  Apparently there were a lot of sickies there and they didn't want to expose her.  I really think they had just over booked him though.  But, it is nice to think that they were really thinking of our little girl.  I do know that there has been a resurgence of influenza b and strep, so I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.  We are going tomorrow though, so we will see how much our chunky monkey weighs then.  She weights 17#s on our scale.  She is definitely a little chatter box.  Drew is hopeful that she is getting it all out of her system now.  She started saying dada about 3 weeks ago.  She can sit independently for a little bit.  She tries to reach for things and most times she can get back upright, but other times she lands on her belly.  But, I'm pretty impressed with her.  She still loves to jump.  She loves her food, and hates when anyone eats in front of her and she doesn't get to share.   She is working on her first tooth.  It was very dramatic at first, but I think she has gotten used to the pain because it doesn't seem to bother her so much anymore.  She just chews on everything in sit.  Her favorite chew toy is paper!  We give her all the junk mail and let her have at it.

Our sweet angel, growing so big!

Amelia at 6 months.  I really don't think they look very much alike, but maybe that will change.
