Big Baby Alert

Today was Mae's 6 month checkup (a couple weeks late). Mae currently weighs 18lbs 13oz and is 28 inches long. She is off the chart for height and head size and is in the 90th percentile for wight. The nurse looked at the chart and said that Mae is exactly average size.....for a 10 month old :)
Here is a list of Mae's like and dislikes (so far)
Likes
1. sleeping next to me all night (this would fall into my dislikes category)
2. sweet potatoes
3. rolling all over the place
4. putting everything in her mouth
5. Miles and his toys
6.bath time
Dislikes
1. sleeping in her crib
2. getting dressed in her pjs
3. applesauce
4. car rides in the dark
5. being held for too long
6. when I eat spicy food

New Year's Eve

Will Miles ever take a group photo with his fingers out of his mouth?

Did someone say a movie and marshmallows?

Mae wanted me to hold her the entire time!

Over the past 5 years or so we have spent New's Year's Eve with the Damian Family. One year we might even stay up until midnight.

Terry's Birthday

(this is the only picture I took on his actual birthday)

Jenny and Ian watched Miles and Mae (no pictures were taken) while Terry and I tried to go to his favorite restaurant. It didn't turn out as we planned but Terry and I got a couple hours to ourselves and Miles got to dump out all of Zephyr's toys :) Miles and Terry are enjoying Terry's BDay gift.

Christmas

Christmas was really fun this year. Miles sort of got the Santa thing and he loved all his gifts. We had a wonderful day spending time with family and eating good food.

Christmas Eve

6 Months!!!!

So I have been waiting to do this post until after her checkup so I could post her height and weight, but due to all the rain the so many roads were closed and we were unable to get to her appointment. So my broken scale and metal measuring tape lead me to believe that she is around 19 lbs and 27-28 inches. So basically she is huge. This week she tried applesauce for the first time (not a fan) and she managed to tip over in all her baby seats. She can sit up for a few seconds unassisted but she will reach for anything she see and then fall over. She is not a great sleeper but she makes up for it by smiling and laughing while she is awake. We can't believe that she has already been with us for half a year!

Rainy Day Play

I hope Terry won't mind that Miles has found a new use for his bbq tools
