Firsts and lots of them

Well, we have had a pretty few days. Fiona is sitting up by herself, she can actually sit there for quite sometime, and I don't mean 5 minutes I am talking about 15-20 minutes before she falls over. Now of course this is if she isn't tired and doesn't want something that is out of her reach, because then she just falls over toward the item if she can't lean toward it enough to get it.

Saturday the 15th my sister came over and took a lot of pictures (they were fabulous) and Fi did so well sitting up for so long for the pictures. That was really the first day she had been sitting up by herself for long periods at a time. (I'll put some of the pictures in a later post)

Then Sunday the 16th she had her first drink from a sippy cup. She actually was able to drink some of the water.

Then Monday night (the 17th) she waved for the first time!

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of her waving, but believe me it is cute.

Sigh, she is growing up so fast I just can't believe it.

Here is a link to a very cute video of my girl sitting up.

6 month Checkup

Well, we had our 6 month checkup on Wednesday the 12th. Fiona is still in the 50% percentile on weight and height! Wahoo baby girl!

She has gained (of course!) and now weighs 16 pounds 4.6 oz and is 25 3/4" in length. She had to get some shots again, poor baby, but she did really well. She only cried when she got them, after a few moments of crying and being cuddled by momma she was fine.

I took this picture of her and mike after the appointment was over and we were getting ready to leave.

She is currently eating two meals a day and will soon start on three a day. I tell you there is alot to the nutrition part of feeding an infant. But we are having fun with it also.

She loves her peaches, pears and apples. And poor baby, she likes those prunes. She isn't crazy on the veggies but will eat them and usually tries to eat the bowl and spoon along with the veggies.

Aunt Ashley got Fi a play kitchen

Daddy taking Fi for a ride. Love this picture of them!

And Fi doing what she loves, putting things in her mouth. This time just happened to be Aunt Ashley's nose.

Whew, glad it is over. It is hard to believe that someone so small got so much stuff!

The Days of Christmas Part 2

I broke these up into three posts since there are just so many cute pictures that I really wanted to post.

Christmas morning Fiona woke up bright and early at 7:30 am

Of course momma had to put a Christmas bow in her hair. Fiona woke up her daddy shortly after getting up.

This was the site we saw coming down Christmas morning. Obviously Fi was a good girl, Santa left her lots of toys.

Even Grammy and grandpa got up to see Fiona open her presents.

She got a bounce bounce activitly center, which she totally loves!

Here's more pictures of Fi opening presents and trying to eat paper.

Overall it was a good morning.

The Days of Christmas

The Sunday before Christmas we all went to my (Heather's) grandmothers Donna for my family Christmas. Fi was definitly the star of the day, everyone just loved her. She actually did really well with all the people and the change in her normal routine.

(there is a theme to this see if you can find it)

Yep its everything goes into Fi's mouth!

Such a cute baby!

She loved the goofy Christmas tree hat her Aunt Ashley had on, it sang and moved.

Santa!!!

Well we did it. We saw Santa, Fi did so well she didn't cry or anything. At first she was kinda unsure of him but after a minute or so she was fine. I love this stage where she is all smiles and everything. Here is her picture with Santa. Afterwards Ashley, my mom, Fiona and myself went to visit Ashley's long time friend Sandy who had just had a baby girl. Her name is Mila and she is just as sweet as can be. Here she is:

While visiting Mila and Sandy, Ashley's long-time friend Angie was there and her son Maddox. Here are some photos of him and Fi meeting each other.

Our car ride home, Fi was just tuckered out.
