6 Months

On January 2nd our little bug turned 6 months old.  I can't believe we are half way to a year.  Mia is still a happy, easy baby.  She is still sleeping through the night and still takes three naps a day.  She has started eating rice cereal, oatmeal, and just this week has tried some vegetables.  She now weighs 15.4 pounds (36th percentile) and is 25 inches long (22nd percentile).   She loves to roll all around the living room.  She gets up on her hands and knees but isn't crawling yet.  She is also sitting pretty well.  She loves making noise, especially when it is very quiet in church.  Last week I had to take her out of Relief Society not because she was crying but because she was just squealing so loudly.  She loves Alex and smiles and laughs at him the most.  She doesn't have any teeth yet but the doctor thought she is getting some on the bottom.  We love her so much and are so happy she is part of our family! 

The first day we gave her vegetables she was not a fan.  She looked at me like I was crazy.  Luckily she has quickly warmed up to them.

Last week we went sledding before the snow melted too much.  Alex had no fear this year and it was a lot of fun.  

I took some video while we were sledding.  This video shows Alex dancing after sledding down the hill, falling over, and then Brandon knocking Alex down.  Poor Alex...

This week both kids have had a bout of the stomach flu.  Alex got it first and then Mia.  It hit Alex especially hard but we are very glad to be on the other side of it now.  The only plus side is that Mia fell asleep in my arms at one point which she never does anymore.  It didn't last very long however.
