This is the first time we have let Pepper lick her face. She likes it at first, then she doesn't seem too sure. It killed me to let him do this! Disgusting!




The end of this video shows a clear "time for a nap" sign. We call it the "nose dive"

If this doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will!

The poor dear was so tired she couldn't even stay awake to get up to her crib!

This is the new thing I learned how to do this weekend. I do it all the time now.


Aug. 14 - 15

I had my first big "road" trip this past week. Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa Thering and I went to St. Paul, MN to visit Aunt Katie and Uncle Gene'o. I drove for 4 hours in the car there and back and was a very good girl! I do like to use my voice now though so I "talked" or "screamed" I should say a lot of the trip. Here are some shots from the trip.

We went shopping for a wedding dress for Aunt Katie. She got one and she looks so pretty in it! But I promised I wouldn't show any pictures yet (you'll have to wait until December) so here is one with just Grandma and me in the dressing room.

After dress shopping we went to target to get supper. This is my first time actually sitting in the cart.
I wasn't real sure, so I was only in it for a few minutes, then mommy had to hold me.
here is me on the way home. This is right after my nice long 2 hour nap!

6 Months Old!

I now weigh 14 lb 7 oz (22%) and I am 24.5" (13%). At 4 months I was 12 lb 11 oz and 23.5" so still growing a way!

New things I can do:

1) Sit up with someone near me, just in case I fall forward!

2) Just starting to eat "solids". I've had Baby rice and Squash. Eating the rice good now after a week, not sure on the squash yet, but I've only had that twice.

3) Roll over in both directions easily. I mostly roll over from my back to my belly and then I stay there. I love it on my belly.

4) Get up on all 4's and try to crawl. I mostly rock back and forth. I LOVE to do this and I do it all the time when I am on my belly.

5) Stick out my tongue 24/7


Here are some of her 6 month photos that aunt Katie took. You can see more of her great photos at http://www.kageblog.com/

Daddy's birthday. My first try at "solids".

Getting ready.....

what the heck is this?

Getting better...

Yummy, getting even better!This is actually pretty good!

Trying out my sippy cup. I have no idea how to use this yet, but we keep trying to practice at least once a day. It is all good until the water starts coming out. Then I don't like it anymore.

Aug. 2 - Aug. 5

We haven't posted in a week so wanted to tell you what we have been up to!

This past weekend we went to a lot of garage sales in our neighborhood and I got a bunch of neat stuff.

I got to see both Aunt Katie, visiting from Minnesota and Aunt Lindsay this week, and also Cousins Logan and Abbi, visiting from North Carolina.

Aunt Katie tried to take my picture last night, but I was not in the mood so we'll try next weekend when we are visiting her in Minnesota.

I've been reading books too. I love to be read to. I love to touch the pictures of the book.


I jump in my jumper... well, mostly stand. I haven't quite got the jumping part down yet, but I started to yesterday... today again, not so much. I'm getting taller, we moved it up a notch.


More Jumping....


We sat outside while dad read a book with me. Pepper waited patiently. Dad gave Pepper a haircut.

More Reading.... This is one of my favorite books. I love to turn the pages, although not so gracefully.

I reached out for Daddy's Beer. I reach out for almost everything now.

Played with the cap.

shook it around.

Looked off in space.....

Wore mom's sunglasses and I didn't mind a bit! Just kept playing with my toes.

And I can get up really high on my arms!
