Bouncing

Here's a video of Dahlia bouncing in her bouncy activity center that she loves. Sorry for the quality; it got fuzzy after the upload: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qblC2NYHTLk&feature=g-crec-u

Mom had a great day

After a really successful day at her new job, Daddy treated the girls to dinner out. We were excited.

Attitude

This little baby can convey so much with one look. This one says "Why did the car stop moving? I was sleeping, thank you very much." Makes her Momma proud. :-)

Sitting up on her own

Dahlia can now sit up on her own if her hands touch the floor like this to keep her balance. Give her a week, and I think she'll have it.

Dahlia's friend, Charlotte

Our good friends Rochelle and Tony have toddler named Charlotte. Charlotte absolutely LOVES Dahlia, and she loves to say her name. She squeals in excitement when she sees her. It's the cutest thing. Rochelle and Tony took care of Dahlia while we moved into the new house. Here are some pictures of the girls. 

6 month Dr's visit

Dahlia had her 6-month doctor's appointment today: 17 lbs 11 oz, 26.5 inches long (both 75th percentile). Dr. B says she is growing beautifully and is right on track developmentally. Dahlia loved the paper on the exam table: she tried to eat it and loved listening to the sound of it crinkling. She cried when she got her shots, but she didn't cry long. She did great! 

6 months old!!

At six months old, Dahlia loves her feet, her thumb, and pretty much anything she can get in her mouth. She smiles all of the time, and she laughs every so often (only when she deems something is really funny). She is getting close to being able to sit on her own, and she is getting better and stronger at tummy time (she still only tolerates being on her tummy). She is a happy, easy going baby who is simply a joy.

A visit to daycare

Jessie had some time between appointments and went up to daycare to play for a bit. When she got there, Dahlia was konked out. :-)

Tummy Time

Dahlia is starting to enjoy tummy time as she gains more control and strength. She can now lift up her upper body and reach for toys.

Bouncing!

Enjoying her fun new jumper seat.
