Six Months

Well a tad but late but Abigail is 6 months old. At six month Abigail was/is sitting up on her own, pushing herself backwards, rolling both front to back and back to front, getting up on all fours and rocking but has yet to figure out how to go forwards even though she really wants too.

She is starting to eat some solids, so far her favourites are sweat potatoes, pears and banana/strawberries. She still prefers to spit most food out, puréed or pieces but it is coming. 

Abigail loves her siblings and laughs out loud at Will daily! Her littles hands are working better and better grabbing toys, eating them and getting a hold of this she should not have, like paper, iPad etc.

Sleep well she does not really like sleep too much. Usually naps 2-3 times a day depending up one what we have going on for about an hour to hour and half each. I usually end up laying her down awake and she snuggles her piggy and goes right to sleep. At night Abigail still wakes up frequently usually every 2-3 hours. Not for long but just enough to wake me up, nurse for a few minutes and go back to sleep. I am sure we could break this habit, but I keep hoping she will just grow out of it.

Abigail loves her tubby, jolly jumper, excersaucer and just like any kids toys that make noise and light up.

Today I took her for her 6 month shots and slim weighs 17lbs 8oz.

Birthday Party

Will and Maddy had a joint birthday party again this year.  They asked to have their party together and since they go to the same preschool have most of the same friends.  The theme was Knights and Princess.

We rented a room at the Leisure Centre which worked well, lots of room for kids to run and play.  We played games:
-Freeze dance
-Jousting (hitting stuffed animals off chairs with pool noodle swords)
-Horse Races
-Archery
-Princess, Knight, Dragon (duck, duck, goose)
-What time is it Mr. Wolf


We ate cake. There was lots of cake left! That what happens when you have two birthdays at the same time and they ask for cool cakes.

We opened presents.

And played more!

I think everyone had a great time. I know Will and Madelyn did!

I am not going to post a bunch of pictures of the party as I am not sure all the parents would appreciate having pictures of children posted.
