8 months old!

Look who finally figured out how to smile in pictures! 



Milestones: She sits up by herself for a really long time, and she is really good at feeding herself small things (like Cheerios and peas), and she's got 2 teeth. She likes to make funny noises, and say "dada" and "mama" to objects and people at random.

Length: 29"-ish; greater than the 95th percentile-ish
Weight: 16 pounds-ish; 15-20th percentile-ish

Yeah...she got a new car seat for Christmas, since the infant seat we have has a max height of 29 inches.

Are my children not just the cutest? I mean, come on. Look at the attitude Delilah's radiating! 

7 months!

If this look doesn't say "put away the camera and read me the book already" then I don't know what does. You know, other than actually saying it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and filled with love and laughter!

The Elusive Nick

I am so thankful for my beautiful, wonderful family, even if my daughter has no sense of humor.

Almost.

6 months!

Happy half birthday to my baby girl, my daughter, my serious and contemplative child. I can't believe it's been six months already! You've more than doubled your birth weight (though not by much!) and you are so strong and tall. You adore your big brother endlessly. You eat about 28-32 ounces of milk a day, lovingly supplied by yours truly. You wear 6-9 month sized clothes, though some of those are too short for you. You shoe size, if you were to wear them, is 2.

Length: 27" (90th Percentile)

5 months!

Check out those feet. Yowza. No wonder she stands up so well.

Weight: 13 pounds (according to our bathroom scale) = 17thish Percentile
Length:  26.5" = 95th Percentile

That may be why she's outgrowing her 3-6 month stuff already. Jeeze.

Go Broncos!
