6 Months Old....

Oh my goodness, we can't believe our little girl is 6 months old. She's not much of a newborn anymore. :-( She is still a lot of fun and she amazes us everyday. She is now rolling. We definitely have to keep an eye on her. If we turn our head for one second she's all the way across the room. :-)





























This past week was a big week for Isabella. She turned 6 months on Monday the 12th and on Tuesday she got to meet her Granddaddy Reeves for the first time. Dad and his new wife, Cathy flew in to explore some of Colorado and Utah. We were able to spend some time with them when they got in on Tuesday.















Then on Friday, we took Isabella for her 6 month checkup and shots. Her doctor said she is doing just great and growing like she should. She is 14 lbs 11 oz (25% percentile), 25 1/8" long (25% percentile) and her head circumference is 17 3/8" (85% percentile; which means her brain is getting even bigger). We told the doctor it's all the Baby Einstein and classical music. :-) She also had to get 3 shots. We had her occupied by playing with a plastic cup and the nurse was really quick but as soon as she received that first prick, she looked up at us like what was that and started crying. Mommy couldn't keep from crying either. But she was over it very quickly and was such a trooper.

Later on Friday, our good friend Brian from Atlanta came to visit for the weekend. Brian, Daddy and our friend Lee all went for a bike ride on Saturday before we all spent the day together.

Just can't keep from asking - was Brian able to keep up with your Dad and Lee?
The black and white photo is so clear! Isabella, you are starting to look "older," so don't try to grow up too fast.
Gigi and Mimi have been watching 2 baby mockingbirds! In a day or two they will be ready to fly! Tuesday a Red Finch couple took a bath in the birdbath by the dining room window. We wish you could have been here to see them! Maybe soon. Hugs and Kisses, Mimi

That's OK Allison, I cried too when Ben, Ruth or Carol got baby shots!
