At the first sight of some leaves in our backyard, we were anxious to get Mandy out to enjoy the beautiful fall weather! She wasn't too sure about what to do in the leaf pile (beside eat the leaves!), but we had a lot of fun playing with her! We love you, sweetie! Enjoy your first fall!
This seriously has been the fastest 6 months ever! Can you believe that Mandy is 6 months old already? We went to see Dr. Clapp this past week, and at 6 months 1 week, she is 16 lbs 3 ounces and 26 3/4 inches tall! She can sit and hold herself up for a long time now, and loves playing in her high chair! She still loves to jump, and she now tilts her head back and forth just like her cousin Lucy used to do! We gave her carrots for the first time this past week, and she seems to really like them! We are so proud of our little "Sweet Pea" - she's quickly growing into quite the little lady!
Mandy has always loved bouncing and jumping, but now that she has a jumparoo at home (borrowed from one of mommy's friends at work), she is super excited! So excited in fact that she bounced herself.....to sleep! She was so exhausted when she got home from daycare, and as she bounced, her little head would droop and she'd fall asleep, only to wake up suddenly and start jumping a few minutes later (and this would happen over and over)! We wish we could have gotten it on video--we were both laughing hysterically! She's such a cute little sleepy girl, don't you think?
Mandy's first adventure with rice cereal was pretty hilarious! She was a lot more messy than it looks here--photos just can't quite capture it! Of course she wasn't sure at first, but she still managed to give the camera a few smiles! She looks so tiny in the big highchair, but I'm sure she'll grow into it in no time!
