6 Month Check-up

Linnea had her six month check-up yesterday...it was a little delayed due to the doctor's schedule. The doctor says Linnea is doing great, she hasn't gained as much between this visit and last but developmentally she is on target. She remains long and lean, just like her Daddy. Here are the stats: Weight 13 lbs. 14 oz. and Height 27 inches. Her weight has dropped a little below the 25th %ile and she is still in the 90th %ile for height. We are just glad she is happy and healthy.

Finally!

Well this post is delayed but I hope you find it worth the wait. We had a great time in the U.P.

Linnea was an angel in the car. She didn't cry at all on the way up and stayed pretty much on her schedule. We just stopped the two times to feed her and change her, other than that she was in her seat for about 9 hours. We played with her and read to her when she was awake...and sometimes she just wanted to play by herself. On the way home she got a little fussy but only for the last five minutes of the trip and that was with a cold!

Old Jake

Linnea's 1st Old Jake Story

Old Jake is a native of Cedar Campus...well that's what we tell the kids...he is really a member of our church that dresses up and shares stories with the kids each night at camp. The stories are very entertaining but are meant to teach the children moral lessons.

Mackinac Island Ferry

Chris, Linnea, and I went to Mackinac Island on out day. Linnea slept on the ferry on the trip over. Once on the island we headed to the library to feed Linnea...if you ever go to Mackinac with a nursing infant check it out. We spent the day just walking around, the weather was great.

Sleeping?!!!!!!!!!!

It sure doesn't look comfortable to me but Linnea was zonked!

The week went by rather quickly, as is normal with vacation. We had a great time and look forward to next year.

All Packed Up!

The time has finally come, my second most awaited event this year. The first being Linnea's birth, of course. It is time for Family Camp! Family Camp is held at Cedar Campus in Michigan's U.P. and is a group of families, most from our church, that play and relax together for the week. The playing or relaxing really just depends on your age!

This will be the third time for Chris and I to go together and Linnea's first real time (she was in utero last year). We will be traveling and staying with Chris's parents and his brother, Steve. It is bound to be interesting....five adults and one infant on a 9-10 hour road trip.

I am sure I will have a story or two to share when we return as well as some great pictures.

New Tastes

We have started Linnea on her vegetables!

We started out with green beans....

These were not a winner!

We have moved on to carrots and will try green beans again in the future.

But Linnea really prefers....

HER FEET!
