Six months and counting


Toriana turned 6 months old last Tuesday and ate her first rice cereal in celebration. Her parents ate chocolate cupcakes instead ... luckily she doesn't yet know what she was missing! She is curious about food but not really too enamoured with it now that she's tasted it (of course, who WOULD be enthusiastic about bland rice cereal!?) Next up, veggies - green and orange smears all over the face will show up better in pictures, at least. She doesn't exactly need the calories - at her check up, she weighed in at 17lbs 14 oz (85th percentile!) and 26" (60th percentile). Although she's still quite partial to mommy, she's taking a turn for the friendlier - yay! Here are a few pics including a whirlwind trip to the Sequim Lavender festival with my cousin Melanie and her daughter Haley, from GA. Thanks for the lists of summer words last post! And happy 8th anniversary to us, today! =)




PS: there are zillions more pictures at photosbyjillz.shutterfly.com - the password is our last name. Enjoy!

Comments ...

I just found out that my "comments" tab somehow was disabled so now that I've switched it back, maybe there will be a comment or two to inspire me to post again! =) I'm sure everyone is busy doing outside, active things rather than blog hopping now that it's SUMMERTIME!! What are 5 words that summarize SUMMER for you?? I'd say "Outdoors, BBQs, watermelon, flowers, sunshine" ... (homemade ice cream took up 3 of the 5 word limit so I left it out ... ) Be back in a couple days with Toriana's 6 month post!
