Our baby girl is half a year old!
Sitting up and grabbing her toes
Look at that face!
So stinkn' cute
Sitting up all by myself
So big... first time in a highchair
Sucking on some honeydew... I think she is ready for some real food
Watermelon... YUMMY!
Watermelon... YUMMY!
Our home grown veggies!
Yup, she is ready for some real food!

I think she liked it... at least what made it into her mouth
Natasha is 6 months old and is no longer our little baby that we had to hold all the time. Now she enjoys sitting up and playing with her toys. She had her 6 month check-up today and here are her stats:
Weight: 17 lbs. 11.5 oz. (75th percentile... still our chunky monkey)
Length: 26.25" (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 43 cm (70% percentile)
She also got her vaccines and a flu shot. We got the go ahead to start her on rice cereal. I've actually been giving her tastes of different fruits and veggies before the rice cereal and I think we will have one good little eater on our hands. She gobbled up her rice cereal after our appointment. I'm looking forward to making her some veggies next. Maybe sweet potatoes to kick off fall... if only the weather will shift gears and bring on the cold snugly days.
Natasha has been a busy bee these past few weeks. Besides the UCLA games, we joined a 2010 Babies club in Ladera where we meet other babies that were born in 2010 (and I get to meet some moms, which is nice). We have had a few get togethers and will be having many more in the next couple of months. It will be nice for Natasha to have some local friends her age that she will also attend school with. Natasha and I have also signed up for free music classes in Ladera. We went to our first one on Monday and met some other kids and moms and dads too. Natasha might be a little young to play with the instruments (she mainly chews on them) but she loves watching the older kids sing and dance around.
Lastly, Natasha attended her second wedding in her first year of life. Our friends, Julie and Shai were married on September 24th (Natasha's 6th month birthday) in beautiful Newport Beach. It was a fun weekend of festivities with the rehearsal dinner bonfire on Thursday night, wedding on Friday and the brunch on Saturday. Natasha sat in her first highchair at the wedding and we no longer have her in the snap 'n go stroller. She is now forward facing in her strollers so she can now look around and see the world!
Thanks for checking in on our monkey!
