I had SUCH a busy weekend. Thursday Aunt Courtney and Mr. Shawn came to visit and it was my six month appointment with the doctor. He says I'm growing perfectly. I'm on the same growth curve as I was at my earlier appointments which means I'm putting on weight and height just like I should. I'm exactly 14lbs and 26" long.

I got some shots, which was NOT fun, and that night I started to get sick. I'm a lucky girl though, because Grandma Mary and Grandpa Vandevander were visiting so they spent Friday with me and I got lots of TLC. I felt much better on Saturday and we got to play some while Mommy took some classes and Daddy went to the gym.

While I'm waiting for Grandma Mary to send pictures from the weekend I thought I'd show you all what we did on Sunday! I got my first cereal. Mommy says it was less of a "meal" and more of a "mixed media art project" but whatever you call it, we had a good time.

Here I am before the food, see how clean I am? How there's no mess on me?

Time to get messy! YAY!!!

Hmm.. It tastes different, I'm not sure I'm up for "eating" it yet but I'm happy to roll it around on my tongue and get it on my chin.

Hey! You! Gimme that spoon! You keep putting it in my mouth but then taking it away? Don't you know that when it comes to putting things in my mouth I can do it myself? Silly Daddy!

Mommy says to hang in there though. Even if I'm not a big fan of rice there's good stuff ahead of me. Oatmeal, she says, and apples, and something called "filet mignon."
