6 months!!

Rayna went for her 6 month check-up on January 19th. She weighed in at 16lbs and measured 26 3/4 inches long! She is in the 50th percentile in weight, and in the 75th percentile in height. I can't believe that she's 6 months already! Time just seems to be flying by! She is rolling over with ease these days, and she is pretty much sitting up on her own these days. From what I've heard and read, it won't be long before she's crawling and all over the place! She seems to really like eating foods now, and her favorite right now is Squash. She seems to love her veggies compared to her fruits. Rayna really enjoys playing with her toys, and she especially loves the dolly that she got from Grandpa Long. I think she might think the doll is real because she just lights up when she sees her! I think she thinks that her friend has come to play with her!

We went to her future husband's 1st birthday party on Saturday, January 23rd, and she enjoyed the party. She got her own set of Mickey Mouse ears, and she even tried a little icing from his birthday cake. She did not seem to like the icing, so maybe she'll be just like daddy and hate sweets. It was a fun day, and it made me realize in 6 months we'll be having hers. Geesch! That seems like right around the corner!

All is well here...just wishing for some spring weather so that we can play outside. Rayna really seems to like looking outside and being outside, so it will be nice to get her out there again.

We made it through the Holidays!

Well, we made it through the holidays, and Rayna sure had a great and eventful holiday season. In the month of December she started rolling over, and she is getting quicker and quicker each day! She also has started eating her first foods, and seems to really have the hang of how to keep them in better now. The picture with the Sweet Potatoes all over her face were how the first few feedings went! Needless to say - we had bath time about everyday then!

Rayna has really taken a liking to her Exersaucer. She LOVES to bounce!!! It is so funny to watch her really get going. Rayna also has discovered her feet, and can put them in her mouth now. Diaper changes have become REALLY interesting between her trying to eat her feet and roll off the changing table! And I can imagine they will only get better!

Rayna really made out at Christmas! She got toys, clothes, and tons of other stuff! And I was really surprised that she was able to tear the wrapping paper herself. She was more interested in the paper than in the presents. I guess it's true - a box and paper always seems to satisfy them more than gifts! haha!

Rayna has her 6 month visit on January 19th, so I'll try and post an updated weight and height then. We hope that you all are well and made it through the holiday season just fine!
