7 months!

I can't believe that our little angel is 7 months old!!! Her are her latest stats!!

She had her well baby visit on May 5th where she weighed in at 18 lbs and 11 ounces!! She is above the 97% for her weight! She was 26 cm long which is near the 50%. She of course screamed for her shots but calmed down quickly after a little snuggle with mom. The doctor was a little worried about her one hip so he sent us off to get an xray for possible congenital hip dysplasia. We got the xray results back and now are headed to see an orthopedic doc on June 1st for a consultation. Leah shows no pain or physical signs of anything wrong with her hip so we were quite surprised there may be a problem. She loves standing with our help and rolls around the room like a little worm. We are praying that she is ok but as always will deal with whatever life has to hand us.

During her 6th month she started trying to pull herself up into stance while she holds our hands. She is showing more interest in trying to move around but has not figured out how to crawl or scoot yet. She takes her baths in the tub now with just a mat on the bottom. She loves kicking in the water and splashing around like a little fish. She goes after her toys while sitting up in the tub and she is fascinated with the water swirling down the drain. She continues to eat her veggies like a champ and is now starting to like her fruit. Blueberries and prunes seem to be a hit! We tried a sippy cup twice with no real interest in actually drinking from it. She continues to have the best personality and is much quicker to warm up to new faces. She loves being outside and watching the leaves blow in the wind. She also loves to swing and stand in her exersaucer. She can sit up for a long period of time to play but hasn't figured how to get into sitting herself.

Other news! We are loving our new house and being so close with everyone. We haven't had a weekend without friends and family since we moved here. We spend our nights on the deck...sipping our tea in the dim light of the tiki torches. I couldn't paint a perfect picture. Just us living the all American dream. Our life is full...we are blessed in every way....and we are thankful. So very thankful.
