First half of June

June was fairly quiet.  Mama Bear is beginning to have a weekly routine:

Mondays she meets some of her friends for coffee/diet Coke in the morning and then they go to story time at the library's main branch.

Tuesdays she goes to story time at a different branch of the library.  Sometimes some of her friends join her.

WEdnesdays Mama Bear and Janey meet other Mommies and walk by the beach.

THursdays Mama takes Janey to play group.

It may not sound like a lot, but right now a lot of the day is taken up with feeding Janey.  She breastfeeds and then an hour later she eats her solid food (except the mid-afternoon feed).  Add in the naps and there is not much day left. . . .

Another pic we love:

Janey began eating solid foods and is in love. As of July 15th, she has had rice, oats, bananas, pears, dried plums (aka prunes, but we think dried plums sounds better), apricots, mango, apples, avocado, blueberries, carrots, peas, sweet potato, squash.  She loves sweet potato and apples together as well as an avacado/banana combo.

Janey is still not a big fan of being on her tummy.  But if I sit in front of her she will do it for a bit longer than usual:) 

Janey went to her friend's second birthday party and wore this dress.  It was a train themed bday party - the family had rented out a little train depot and there was a little train that the kids could ride on - track and all!!

Papa Bear with Janey at Janey's  6 month check up.  Janey weighed 16 pounds and ranked in the 50th percentile for weight and head circumference.  SHe was 27 1/2 inches long which got her the 90th percentile again!!  We think she will soon be taller than her Aunt Becca!!

Janey was sitting for short periods by the middle of the month.  But we still put a pillow behind her.  Here she is playing with all her stuffed animals.
