6 mo Well Baby Visit

So yesterday was Tricia's 6 month appointment. She did well and they say she looks great. She is growing  like she should and doing everything she should at 6 months. I told him I started her on solids and he said that was fine. She has done ok on pretty much everything except bananas I believe. it was either the bananas or the carrots. Oh well, we will come back to those later. I still ahve some other foods to get her though. Mostly doing well on that.

She is still kind of sick. The doc still says he doens't see anythign that would indicate she needed antibiotics. So until then we just suction her nose out good and I am running a vick plug in at night. I need to get the humidifier out as well.

Ben started his new job yesterday. I miss him a ton. And it's rough being home alone already. It just sucks. But hopefully some good will come out of it.

I go back to work tomorrow after my leave from Grandma Evans passing away on 1/9. I was off last Weds, Thurs, Fri for the services. Weds was the calling hours and Fri was the funeral. I was really sad - I miss her a lot already. RIP Grandma Evans - you will be forever missed. <3

Christmas and New Years

Time has flown so fast! It seems like I was just in here yesterday writing. Well the baby still is coughing and sneezing. I've given up! The doc said it's allergies, the allergist said it's a cold. So she goes back on the 17th for her 6 month check up and so we will talk about it then again. It doesn't seem to bother her at all - never problems iwth her ears or a fever. So unless it gets to that point I'm just watching her and seeing what happens.

We have had a few milestones since the last writeup.

First Christmas - Such a fun time! She got so many gifts and so did we!!! It was crazy. My mom got me a dyson - I LOVE IT! She spoils us so bad. So needed for the baby though. We did have to travel around a lot for Christmas though but it was worth it to see everyone. Christmas Eve we went to Ben's aunt and uncles, this his grandparents, then his other grandpa's for the rest of the night. His mom and aunt/uncle/cousin were there as well. It was a good time. Christmas Day my family came over to our house and I cooked breakfast than we opened gifts. So many amazing gifts from everyone. We are truly blessed :) Baby did amazing with all the traveling and people holding her. I will come abck and post pics soon!

First New Years - Was wonderful. Baby went to sleep around 10 and then we just hung out with the family at Ben's grandpas. Right after the ball dropped we left - that's way too late for us to stay up now LOL!

First Solids - We have started to introduce solid foods. We only do it about once a day, but we are moving through the foods to make sure she is ok with everything. So far we have done green beans, peas, and carrots. They all seem to be doing good for now! Her first one was on Christmas Day though - so that was a fun milestone :)

We now also have a crazy rolling baby. She rolls everywhere and it's just crazy. But overall she is doing so wonderful! Can't wait to see her stats when we go to the doc on the 17th.

Ben is starting his new job on the 17th also. It's with my BIL - he will be doing drywall. I'm happy for him - he has been not happy for a while now at his job and is ready for a change. This should be good for him. Just a huge change and he has a lot to learn.

Well I think that's all that's new in our world right now. Ready for 2011 and all the fun we are hoping it brings with our little bug!
