Teething
You are officially teething - Aunt Amanda found a very sharp bottom tooth coming up. You are doing great with the teething except that you have now smacked yourself in the head with your teething toy twice.

6 Months
Wow! I am so not ready for this. How are you 6 months old?
You are perfect. So smiley and giggley. That is my favorite part right now. You love your toes, we can't keep socks on you. Same with hats. We had to get you footed PJs to keep you warm at night. You are almost out of the sleep sack and you might be ready just for a blanket like a big girl. You consistently sleep through the night which is great. But I am still waking up, so, not great.
We introduced zucchini and peas with the rice and oat cereals. You are just not so sure about solid food. Although, you will eat anything for Grandpa Jim. The teething and drooling has continued, but no teeth yet.
And you are still a big baby, 19 1/2 lbs, but now only 95th percentile, instead of off the charts big. We upgraded you to the new carseat. This has been perfect for you because now you can see the mirror and outside the car.
The biggest milestone is that you are sitting up. You list a little, but you are getting great at staying straight up. You still hate tummy time, so no rolling over yet. But you will sit up on your forearms to check everything out. You are so observant and love to people watch.
You love outside time, especially with Nana. It has been great having the grandparents babysit. You play, watch Baby Einstein, listen to Raffi, and as always, have some toy in your mouth. Your favorite toy is the little cat. We are reading Alice in Wonderland, and I can't wait until you are big enough to fit in the Alice dress I bought you!
We have pretty much stopped calling you "the Beastie", and have moved on to Leelu, as a derivaive of Natalie. Someday we'll explain the name in more detail but for right now just remember "Chick-en".
The cats are getting more curious and you are trying so hard to pet them. Ripley has taken over your stroller bassinet which is ok. All the cats share a lap with you now, and are not so scared of the crying. Yes, there is crying. Especially when you are sick. One of my most precious memories will be carrying you in the special Natalie hold so that you can suck your left thumb, cuddled in my arm, next to my heartbeat and you just crashed. Crying frantically one minute, and sleeping peacefully the next. I love being able to soothe you.
We are having so much fun with you baby.
Love, Mom and Dad

Tour de Force
We spent the day in Healdsburg, wine tasting at some of our favorite places. It was a beautiful day!! You were the perfect baby. And loved to slobber on Dad's wine glass.
