Hats-Off!

Hello all, this is Christopher posting this time...Manda is busy feeding and talking to her Mom.


Mayhew has a few new tricks today. First, she has discovered that she can consistently find, grab, and throw her hat. This is not so good so soon after the solstice, so carrying May is now a test of reaction time to grab flung hats.

The other trick is that she is fully sitting up. Yes I know we showed photos of her sitting up earlier, but now she can maintain a sitting posture for longer, while doing other tasks (like picking up and chewing on a toy). Pretty impressive progress if you ask me.

Also in the news, May's 6-month well-baby visit was today. She is up to 26 1/2 inches long/tall, and 17 pounds, 10 ounces. The doctors say "She is the baby that everybody wishes they had." and "It's so good to see such a happy family."

Next up, the start of solid foods. "Dun Dun Duh!" We're going to wish we had a dog before this is over.
