6 Month Check-Up

So Mae had her check-up this morning and it went really well. She was 15 lbs and 26 3/4 in long. So long and lean. She has been a little backed up this week but the doc said try prunes and give her more fruit in her diet to counteract all the veggies she eats. No teeth yet. The shots were awful she cried all the way through, so I had to feed her to calm her down before we left the office. Luckily Sean was home with Mae all day so they snuggled down on the couch and she slept all day. She didn't even wake up for her afternoon feeding she was that worn out. But shes feed and happy now I think I'm still at work but last I talked to Sean she seemed ok. Maybe pictures will be posted tomorrow, maybe not, sorry to be keeping you all in suspense.

Internet Is Down

So our Internet is being lame-o, thus the reason that I have not blogged in the last few days because I have a lot of news.

First off Misty had Clara a beautiful baby girl on Sunday May 4th. She is so cute I've been able to spend some time with her and she has such an amazing personality. She is very mellow (which if you know Gabe YEAH for Misty). I already posted the picture of her and Mae but I have more really cute ones that will be going up.

We also had Bloomsday on Sunday, so we had a lot of friends in town and did the race so stay tuned for pics of that too.

I promise that as soon as our Internet works again I will be mass posting. Love you all and hope all is well.

Stay Tuned...Im Annoyed...But I Love Clara!!

Ok watch out for posts tomorrow but Clara was born today YIPPIE! 9 lbs 9 oz and 21 in long. Mae loved her. I'll post more tomorrow cause my computer was being dumb and its 1 in the morning and I need to go to bed. We LOVE you Clara!!!!!

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning was so great. The weather was amazing again so we had to take advantage of it. Sean was able to go on a nice long run, and wash the car. Then because Sean was home I was able to go on a run by myself. Which was so nice because it is hard work running with the jogging stroller.

When I got home from my run this is what I came home to, Sean washing the car and Mae playing in her exersaucer. So cute. I was just glad that they were both doing things that they love.

But on the down side I totally banged up my knee on my run. I slipped on some gravel and BAM I went down and totally rocked my left knee. SO I thought that I would share a picture of the carnage that is my knee. ENJOY!
It was still an amazing day and my knee is healing nicely and I've already run on it again so I should be good for Bloomsday.

Misty Shes Finally Eating Her Toes

So Misty has been trying to get Mae to eat her toes so that she can take a picture of it but Miss Mae was being stubborn (where do you think she got that from). So the other day I caught Mae eating her toes. It took me a while to get a picture but I finally succeeded. Sneaky little thing she is.

Sitting Up At The Park

Mae is getting so much better at sitting up it is so much fun to watch her grow. On Friday the weather was amazing so Mae and I went for a run and then headed to the park on the way home. It was so much fun blue sky's, warm air and a happy Momma.

Mae of course got to swing. She had so much fun laughing and smiling so much. Then after the swinging we played in the grass. She doesn't seem to mind the grass to much, but then again I have been putting her on the grass as soon as the weather warmed up because I didn't want it to freak her out.

No Teeth Yet

Thanks everyone for your advice on soothing teething for Miss Mae, I'm definitely going to be using some of the tips I got. No teeth have popped up yet but she is still acting weird. So I guess the craziness of the teething has just begun. I promise more pictures soon, I have been so lazy with the picture taking. But Misty is doing photography lessons on her blog so I'm gonna try them tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Teething

So I'm pretty sure Mae is teething and is really miserable, so if anyone has any pointers that would be awesome. She seems to be calming down now but she has been crying for at least 45 min. Tried nursing, soothing tablets, baby Tylenol, rocking and nothing seems to work. I think she has cried herself out for now but any ideas would be awesome. Thanks.

Sweet Potatos

I know Mae has only been eating Rice Cereal for a week but she was ready to move on to something more SWEET POTATOS! She loved them. Its so crazy that she is eating baby food already. They grow up so fast.

This picture is her first bite of the good stuff.

I think she likes it, don't you?
This picture is from Monday night after we had gotten the new highchair. She is so little in it but at least I know that she'll be able use it for a long time. All smiles during dinner!
Open wide!
Mmmmmmmmmm!

New Toys

On Monday the weather was nasty and rainy, so I decided to run errands. Mae absolutely made out like a fat hog on errand day. She got a high chair, and an excersaucer which she loves. When I set it up she played in it for at least an hour, so I took a video of it because it was so dang cute!
