6 month stats and a visit to Grandma Jeane

So we took Mckell in for her 6 month check-up and she is still such a tiny peanut!

weight: 13lbs, 4th percentile

height: 26inches, 58.4 percentile

head circumference: 16.5inches, 35th percentile

The only number I'm a little concerned with is Mckell's weight. At 2 months Mckell was in the 24th%, 4 months 10th%, now 6 months 4th%- should I be concerned? My pediatrician didn't think much of it, but I'm thinking that's not a good sign. For now I'm just going to start feeding her baby food at 3 of the feedings along with breastfeeding- any other suggestions?

On Sunday we stopped at my grandma Jeane's house for a visit and of course she had her famous homemade white chocolate easter eggs ready for us! She is such an amazing woman- love you grandma Jeane!

My perfect easy baby is finally (and I don't mean that in a good tone) turning into a "normal" baby. She is starting to get sassy and tell me her mind. It was pretty cute at first... but not so cute anymore- I'll have to post a video latter to show what I mean. But I know what you're all thinking, I still have no idea what it's like to have a "normal" let alone a "bad"? baby.

My baby is 6 months old already! AHHH!!!

Look at me mom, I can stand all on my own! Well... sort of

Still LOVING tub time

Going through the "I only like my parents" phase. Every time someone comes to visit, Mckell starts crying. I don't know if we need to take her out more to expose her to more people or what but when it's just me and Courtland and one or a couple people visit, she freaks out. But she does just fine at church and at the store?

Mckell has discovered her voice.. and I'm not sure I'm completely loving it..

The first video is of Mckell doing this new noise/mouth thing, not really sure what to call it. Kind of funny.

The second video is Mckell's outbursts of yells- very funny at first... not so sure how funny anymore- well, it just makes it hard to study and do homework.

Big thanks to my mom and Courtland's mom for coming down to Provo and helping out these past weeks! It's been kind of crazy around here because Courtland has been flying back and forth from San Jose, California for second round interviews with 3 of the big 4 accounting firms for summer internships. So far he has heard back from PWC and KPMG with offers so it looks like we will be spending part of the summer in California. We haven't decided if Mckell and I will go too because we're assuming it will be a lot easier to find just a room for him to rent vs a whole apartment for all of us (and a lot cheaper)! Summer internships are usually 6-8 weeks. So for the first half of the summer we will be in Knoxville, TN with APX again doing the sumer sales thing and then depending on when the internship is we (or most likely just Courtland- Mckell and I will just go back to Utah) will be in San Jose, California for the rest of the summer. Needless to say it's going to be a crazy summer with lots of packing and moving around and I HATE HATE packing! But I'm so proud of Courtland for getting offers- I have such a smarty for a hubby!

On the downside... I'm really not a big fan of California. Why you ask? I'm not really sure I just have a bad taste about it but it looks like that's where we will be moving once we're both done with school for at least 5 years! BLAH!!! I wish we were staying in Utah forever but I did promise Courtland I would try to be a good sport so any positive things people have to say about San Jose I'm all ears! (Just don't say you'll be close to the beach because that really doesn't entice me much.) But after those 5 years, I'm praying we'll come back to Utah. I really want to raise our family here, it's just not the same anywhere else. (guess I'm a bit bias) But I'm very stubborn and eventually we WILL be living in Utah, for sure at least when Mckell is older and friends become a big part of kids lives.

Much needed update

Can you say all girl?

How can this possibly be comfortable?? So Lucy has turned back into puppy mode and I'm going crazy! She is chewing everything all of a sudden and I don't know why? Any tips on how to break her habit.. again?

First time eating baby food (0ther than rice cereal) and we decided to start with peas... wait for it..

Don't think she loved it! haha but after a few nights of eating peas, she now gobbles them right down.

Mckell's I know what's coming face... food!

Who does Mckell look most like? Mommy above or... Daddy! I love this picture of Courtland and Mckell! They are making the exact same face! Could she look any more like Courtland? I don't think she looks like me, not even a little.

Classic Mckell face!
