Lindsey is CRAWLING!!

Lindsey has been working on her technique for about a week now and has finally gotten the hang of it! Just put a toy or two out of her reach, and she's off!She also just sat up from a crawling position today. She has had a very eventful day. I guess that's what a good night of sleep can do for ya ;)

Lindsey's Best Night EVER!

After about a solid week of Lindsey being up off and on ALL night, I asked the doctor what I could do about it at her 6 month well check appointment. He had a few simple tips: stop feeding her at night (still breastfeeding), do not pick her up, and let her cry--but to check on her intermittently and give her her pacifier. I have been using his advice this past week and it has made a huge difference.

Last night I put her to bed at 8:30pm, heard two peeps out of her in the middle of the night--didn't have to get up as she fell back to sleep--and I HAD to wake her up finally at 7:30am because I was going to explode!! It was Lindsey's best night of sleep EVER!!! I sure hope this isn't a fluke. Guess we'll see!

Gotta Have Pics

I just had to post these pictures from yesterday. Too cute to pass up :)

"Isn't She....Pretty in Pink....."

Lindsey just turned six months old, and to celebrate we bought her a beautiful pink dress. She looks just like a porcelain doll in it! It is my favorite by far!! Among her list of new accomplishments is a more diverse menu. Lindsey has now sampled rice cereal, oatmeal, and as of yesterday, sweet potatoes...MMmmmmmm. Quite a messy time:) Lindsey is also able to move around quite well now, too. If you put her down on the floor even just for a few seconds, she will either roll her way across the room or scoot her way there going backwards! She wants to crawl so badly, but hasn't quite coordinated that yet. She tries to rock back and forth, and stick an arm here or there, but just can't quite make it. Oh well, soon enough, I'm sure. For right now, she can be pretty in pink...

Hangin' With the Boises

We hung out with the Boises on Super Bowl Sunday! That is the first time that the kids have been together since October. As you can see from the pictures, the two weren't all too sure what to make of each other. Shirley and I are looking forward to a few months from now when they can actually play more when they are together. In case you didn't know, Alex is 11 days older than Lindsey, being born on August 2, 2oo6.

Food, glorious food!

We finally decided to feed Lindsey rice cereal for the first time. Daddy just couldn't take it anymore. We basically made it to six months so I feel successful. She actually ate all that we had made for her (a tablespoon at a time with about two ounces of milk) and still wanted to eat more afterwards!! I have continued to give her cereal everyday since then and she seems to genuinely enjoy it:)
