Farewell Six Months!

Today is the last day Fiona will be in the six month stage (a tear running down my cheek.) I'm slightly saddened but look forward to what lies ahead. Sometimes, in the wee hours of the morning, Farley and I just sit and stare at earlier photos of our baby girl. It's amazing how Fiona has grown so much in so little time. Lots of wonderful things have happened within this past month. Let's make a list:

*having a first taste of solid foods
so far we've tried--rice cereal, oatmeal, avocado, peas, greens beens, carrots, sweet potatoes, and pears

*turning back and forward

*playing with feet (more like eating feet)

*vocalizing more and more utterances

*grabbing toys

*biting and chewing everything in sight

*sitting up hesitantly (needs more practice)

*pinching, pinching, and pinching!

Who's a Jabber Jaw?

Fiona's such a babbler. I'm already imagining her talking and telling us stories. She always vocalizing about something.
She's starting to really communicate with us, not just with her waving arms and wiggling feet. So expressive. She says things like...

"Ta,ta,ta,ta!"
"Da, da, da, da!
"Ba, ba, ba, ba!"
She even sighs and whines!!!
I can't wait till she says Mama.

Happy Easter!

Check out the bib!

A bunch of us gathered at Spanish Landing for an egg hunt after a delicious brunch. It was such a gorgeous day, cool brisk wind and warm sun. A perfect combination. Fiona loved laying out and being a lookie-loo. She's such a curious little cat. Originally, I wanted her to wear this green and polka dot Easter dress with layers and frills. The cutest little Easter dress. But then again, I thought, comfort comes first. Her eczema has been bothering her lately. She's been uncontrollably scratching. So, we opted for something simple that was 100% cotton. Thanks Auntie Winnie for the sweet dress.

I get so overly excited about holidays and such. I buy the most random things and it can become quite excessive. I use this reason...it's Fiona's first everything. I even bought Dudley's Marbled Egg Coloring Kit (which we did not even touch). I'll save it for next year.

How lame is this? Far and I wanted to take a picture of Fiona with all of her Easter goodies. And we did. But later on, I noticed she was wearing a Happy Thanksgiving bib!
