6th Month Check Up

Cali and I went to the Dr. today for her 6 month check up. She was kind of tired so she was a little fussy. When she got her shots she was NOT happy. After a little cuddle time she was fine and took a nap on the way home.

Her stats:

16 lbs 4 ozs (50% percentile)
26.5 inches long (75% percentile)

Solid Food

Cali is 6 months and 5 days old today. Today she had her first solid food. We mixed rice cereal with breast milk. It went over pretty well! Check out the video and pictures.

Beach Trip #2

We just got back from a wonderful week vacation with my family. We stayed at an Air Force Recreation Center in Ft. Fisher. Cali and I went down last Friday with my parents and my sisters family. Nick had church on Sunday so he joined us Sunday evening.

The week was filled with trips to the beach, the pool, out to dinner, shopping, sightseeing, the aquarium and just relaxing. Overall Cali did great and enjoyed all the new adventures.

It was very entertaining in the house to have a 6 month old, a 14 month old and a 5 year old. As you can imagine it was rarely quiet during the day! There were toys everywhere, lots of squalls, banging on pots, ExerSaucer fun and Disney Channel. I know the Grandparents were in heaven!

Here are pictures from our trip! Enjoy!

6 Months Old

Today is Cali's half birthday! It has been a wonderful 6 months.
Today was a full day of playing, walks, naps, beach fun time and a visit to Carolina beach boardwalk.

I will get beach pictures posted in a few days.

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY CALI! We are so blessed to have you with us.

#2

Cali had her second tooth make an appearance today! Her two front bottom teeth are coming in. With the help of Tylenol we are making it. She gets fussy from the pain but once you give her something to chew or suck on she does better.

Tummy Time

In the past 2 days Cali has really been into rolling over. She rolls when you change her and during play time. The problem begins when she gets on her tummy, once there she doesn't know what to do. She can move her legs to get her butt in the air but doesn't understand that she can use her arms to help in the process. So after a few seconds of struggling she starts to scream. We roll her back over only for her to roll back over to her tummy and scream again.

Well.. this struggle has now hit bed time! I got Cali down by 8pm tonight. Nick and I were being productive around the house when the monitor lights up at 8:43pm. Nick runs upstairs to find Cali face down on the crib screaming. Nick and Cali are currently watching Classical Baby and rocking. It is going to be a long night!
