Six Months!... and other things...

Whew. I don't know what I have been doing, but time is flying. Let's see... since I last updated we have had the 4th of July and Brynn has turned 6 months! We had our appt. today and she is 27 inches and 16.8 lbs. She is long and skinny! Which makes it hard to find pants that fit her well right now. They are either too short if they fit her waist, or to big in the waist if they fit her length.

Brynn is now sitting unsupported... but will topple over every now and then. She will push her feet on the floor while she is on her belly and push her butt in the air :) She has been sleeping pretty well still, but has had some off nights. I think it must be due to teething. It makes me thankful I don't have to get up and go to work the next day, but maked me nervous about when I do go back to work and we have nights like that. She moves all over in her bed... she is never where I left her!

Speaking of work, I can't believe how close we are getting to the school year. I know I probably sound like a broken record, but I have such mixed feelings. Ahhhh! I just don't want to think about it. We did get iPads though, and I have been having a lot of fun playing around on that!

We are coming up on our trip to Door County. I can't wait to get out of town for a bit. I hope Brynn does well on an acctual vacation. I am sure she will, she is super easy going (she definitly doesn't get that from me).

This week Brynn has had the pleasure of watching some amazing soccer games with me. She got to hear me yell and jump up and down with me when my girl Abby scored the header goal in the game against Brazil on Sunday. It's been so fun watching the games and I can't wait to watch the final on Sunday. It makes me miss playing college ball though SO MUCH. Competing at a high level, there is nothing like it. I can't imagine what it is like playing on the National Team.

Brynn has pretty much outgrown her bouncy seat, I put her in it still every now and then when I shower and she is awake, but she basically sits up in it and she looks goofy :) Her swing is becoming obsolete, too... she's not too interested in being in it. Her favorite toy right now has to be her Baby Einstein jumper. She loves being in it and is so content when she is for quite a long time.

I have been giving Brynn a bottle every day-- for the most part-- and she is still doing ok. Doesn't love it, but isn't screaming every time it comes near her mouth. I have not been giving her "real food" every day either, but have tried it a couple of times now that we have hit the 6 month mark. She has had sweet potatoes, and I tried pears for the first time yesterday, and she wasn't too sure about it. I may mix it in with cereal tomorrow and see how that goes. I feel ike breastfeeding was so easy... just feed her when she is hungry. Now I have no idea what I am doing :) But have been making my own food, which I enjoy! I need to get better about making sure she gets solids at least once a day right now... because I want her to be eating them well by time she goes to Kelsey and Kevin's this fall.
