Adrienne is 6 months old!

My little (big) princess is 6 months old - breakout the half birthday kazoos! She's doing very well and is right on track developmentally. Size-wise, she's an overachiever. She's tipping the scales at 19 lbs and is 27.5 inches which puts her in the 95%ile for height and weight. I wonder if she'll even out or if she just takes after Matt? We've started solid foods and so far she has had AND likes: avocados, sweet potatoes, bananas and oatmeal. She really likes food - go figure. Today, I sent squash with her to daycare so I'm anxious to find out what she thought of it. I've been making all of her food in the magic bullet which is fantastic for making purees. The pediatrician wants her to be on meats at about 7 months which I think is a way to get her extra iron.

Luke is Adrienne's favorite entertainer - she laughs the most when Luke is playing with her. He's very good to her and even calls her "sweetie." The other day we were leaving G-ma and G-pa's house and G-pa was holding Adrienne when we were ready to go...Luke informed him "G-pa, we need Adrienne!"

We're getting ready for Christmas which is no small feat. We've enjoyed all of the holiday decorations that have come home from preschool and daycare. Yes, even Adrienne made an ornament this year - an angel, made out of a picture of her face, her foot print and hand print as part of the body and wings. Luke came home with a graham cracker house and a snowman tile ornament.



We are so excited to watch Luke open his presents this year as we know he will be extremely excited. I'm sure Adrienne will be equally excited to chew on some wrapping paper. We've got our reindeer food ready to put out and I'm sure Santa would enjoy some cookies and eggnog (his favorite!).

Wish us luck in our final week of Christmas prep - the most wonderful time of the year!
