6 month stats

August 17, 2010

Greta's pediatrician loves her.  He is older (I would say late 60s) and I hope he never retires.  He always comes in and talks to her for awhile like she can talk back.  He compliments her name every time and always tells me I am doing a great job, too.  I need to hear that.  Greta is a growing girl.  We just got back from her 6 month check-up.  She loved crinkling and tearing the paper covering the table.  She REALLY wanted to play with all the doctors tools hanging up.  She showed off her sitting up skills, her almost crawling skills and her cute smile.  When she got her shots, she gave the saddest frown--cried for less than 5 seconds--and then started laughing and smiling again.   She's a sweetie and everyone was amazed that she is "ONLY SIX MONTHS?" Yeah, she's pretty big:


Length: 27 3/4"
Weight: 18 lbs 4 oz
Head:  41.3 cm


I can no longer carry her around in her carseat.  It is way too heavy.  I thought that as she got bigger, my arms would gradually get stronger--not the case.  Now, if Chris isn't around to carry the carseat from the car to the destination, I just carry Greta in my arms.  We got home, Greta had some bananas and carrots and went down for another nap.  That's #2 for today--we're making progress!!

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

Cranberry-Glazed Ham

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
