Welcome!

After much deliberating, I've decided to start a blog. Jerad and I are so proud of our first home. We are constantly working to improve it, so we thought we'd share our journey with you. Happy renovating!

What happened during her sixth month...


  • Sits up without a problem for long periods of time
  • Can roll over both ways
  • Drinks from a sippy cup with ease
  • Likes MAM pacifiers
  • Is switching to two naps a day- still in progress, but I think this is what her body is trying to do
  • Working on getting her to nap better during the day without me putting her in her crib completely asleep- this has been tough...I hate hearing her cry when she's never a fussy baby!
  • Goes to bed by 7:30pm and sleeps till 5:30, quick feeding, then back down till 7:30 am
  • Has two bottom teeth and one coming through on the top...four more are on their way
  • Wearing 9-12 month clothes
  • Started to get mad when you take things from her- trying to get her to share!
  • Loves her books-  loves to eat them as well
  • Loves music- we've been singing and dancing to Christmas music this week
  • Made her first road trip to Houston to visit Will and Kim
  • Loves to feel the cold grass on her feet and the breeze on her face!
  • Solids-  she eats a full serving of oatmeal and a full gerber fruit in the mornings and a full gerber veggie at night
  • I also think it's important to feed her bits of whatever we're eating-  so with breakfast she tries whatever fruit I'm having with my cereal- orange (loves the juice!), apple, pear, banana, grape....at night she eats bits of veggies from our dinner- this month she tried squash, broccoli, potatoes of all kinds, onion, carrots
  • Has had full servings of mixed gerber jars (2nd foods that are a little thicker in consistency) - Meat with Veggie, Mixed Veggie, Blueberry and Apple
  • Has tried other table foods of ours- rice and beans, pumpkin bread, banana bread, pizza crust
  • Enjoys 'baby snacks' as I call them-  Mum Mum rice sticks, baby puffs, yogurt melts
  • Mom is still nursing
There hasn't been a food that she dislikes so far...except she's unenthusiastic to eat Rice cereal now as it has no flavor. 

There's lots more but that's all for now!  Onto the 7th month!
