Wow, I am a HALF!! It feels pretty great and life it getting more fun everyday. I have officially entered the vertical world. Although I topple a lot, sitting up is really cool and I can see things a lot better! I love keep tracking of everybody and everything that is going on. Sometimes if i am in the carrier facing in, I get mad and arch my back so I can see. Bella moves around a lot, so I get pretty tired keeping her in my sights. Mommy and Daddy say that they need to enjoy me staying in one place because I can't crawl yet. But according to my calculations, that won't be long.
I had my 6 month check up yesterday and here are my stats: I am 2'3" and 17.4#. I am the 85% for height and 75% for weight. My Dad thinks I have a good shot at being the first female Vietnamese basketball star (shhh, don't tell mom, but that is why he married her- to be sure I would be tall.) He often mentions something about me playing basketball and him driving a porsche.
The biggest change in my life is that I am going to daycare three days a week now. Wow, talk about a lot to keep track of! I wear myself out watching the other kids and playing with all the cool toys. There are big kids in my class too. Sometimes I don't nap well there, and then when Mommy picks me up she is sad that I look so tired. I am going to try to do better napping but I don't want to miss anything!! Mommy says daycare is really hard for her still, but she says she has gone from being 40% okay with it to being 60% okay with it. I will keep praying for her.
I am eating more solids now, avocado is my favorite. Mommy is making homemade food for me, but I don't like any of it except the rice cereal and avocado. Daddy says I need some McDonalds, but Mommy gives him a mean look when he says that.
I took a trip to the country last weekend to visit Nana and Pappy and all my cousins. It was awesome!! It was REALLY dark at night and there were LOTS of stars. We got to pick blueberries and have a campfire. Pappy had the coolest swing and Nana gave me THREE new toys. But the funnest part was cheering for Mommy when she ran her first triathlon. She kicked butt.
I got to hang with Daddy's side of the family a few weeks ago when everyone came over for a wedding. I loved being spoiled by Grandma and being passed around. If the basketball thing falls through, I think I may go into politics, I love schmoozing and hamming it up for the camera.
I saw the plastic surgeon and he says my face is perfect! I don't need any botox or a nose job, but he did suggest getting this itchy patch off around my ear. The surgery is scheduled for October 1st and I don't even have to spend the night! Mommy and Daddy say they are going to spoil me when I have the surgery.
I am sleeping great at night! I wake up once to eat and say hi to Mommy. Mommy was trying to cut me off from the night feeding, but thankfully Dr. Cady saved the day. He told her yesterday that the night feeding is important if she wants to breastfeed for awhile longer. Whew.
