sitting up

It was like someone flipped a switch on Thursday, Erica wil sit up but not for more than a few mins until thursday. She was just ready I guess she has been sitting and playing for 30 mins at a time over the weekend. Here are a few pics of her playing with her drums ( she loves them ) and her twinkle rings. Of course we always have pillows behind her so she doesn't get hurt when she leans back!! She looks like such a big girl all of a sudden.

6 months

Erica is 6 months old now and how that time has flown by! At her appointment we went over many things with the doctor, she can now start eating table foods- such as bread or banana, starting off slow and going from there. She was 14.4 lbs and 25 3/4 inches long. So she stayed in the 25th % for weight but went up a bit in her height. We are going to go to PT though this coming week because little Erica favors her left side and she is getting a flat spot on the left side of her head. So we are going to learn stretches for her to hopefully sleep to both sides. The MD of course said it was nothing to worry about but I don't want her neck muscles to be tight going to one side as she gets older.

Erica loves to stand though she is doing it with help of course, she finally is sitting by herself for a few seconds not for very long before she wobbles over. She also started her first swim class this week. She loves being in the water, daddy also dunked her! Erica loves to grab and pull on her toys as well as my hair. She is teething and loves to chew on anything including our fingers! We couldn't be happier with all of the wonderful things that she is accomplishing! We love her SO much.

christmas day 2007

Christmas day we had the Laskey family over to our house for dinner. It was great that everyone brought something to contribute for dinner. We did the present exchange for the kids and then ate afterwards. Erica had such a great time- though she took a nap during dinner which was nice that we could eat without worring about her.

Here are a few shots of the christmas day celebration!
