Carrots

Hallee got a taste of my homemade carrots. She didn't really like them as much as this picture leads you to believe!

Baby Food

Hallee had her six month check up this week. She is up to 19 lbs 8 oz, which is the 95th percentile. She got another set of shots, including the first half of the seasonal flu shot. The clinic didn't have any more of the H1N1 shots. Her poor little legs were pretty sore after four shots. The pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start baby food. Hallee seemed to really like the bananas we started with. I decided I would try to make some of her baby food. Not because I think jarred food is bad, but because I think it could save us some money. It was really a lot easier than I thought it would be. Today I steamed some green beans and carrots for her. She hasn't gotten any yet because we were told to wait a few days between each new food. Should she be allergic to anything, we would know what it was. I made about the equivalent of 12 jars of baby food in less than an hour (it will go quicker next time, now that I know what I'm doing). The total cost was $1.18. The total cost for 12 jars of baby food would be $4.08. Plus, it was kind of fun!

Our Weekend

We had a fun weekend! Andy's schedule at work changed so now he has weekends off for the next six months! His first weekend off, we decided to go to Madison to stay. Saturday afternoon we hung out with Grandma Dorine and Grandpa Danny at the farm. Hallee got to see all sorts of fun animals. Her daddy even sat her on a horse all by herself. Thanks to Diesel dog, Grandpa and Grandma have one less kitten, but all in all we had a great afternoon!

Saturday evening, we went to visit Grandpa Tim and Grandma Darla to celebrate Grandma's birthday. Hallee got to play with her cousins Emmett and Selma. We stayed at Grandpa and Grandma's house Saturday night and went to church as a big family Sunday morning. My parents, my brother's family and our family doesn't even fit in one pew anymore! What a blessing!

Teeth

Hallee has two little teeth poking through on the bottom of her mouth! They weren't there Thursday night, but when she bit down on daddy's hand Friday morning, he found a surprise! Hallee has had what I thought was a cold since Monday, but maybe it was her teeth bothering her all along!

Funny Girl!

Significantly larger, but definately the same kid!
