Six Months Old!

Maggie celebrated turning 6 months by taking her first trip to the beach . . . sort of. Our friends from Woodmont were making their annual trek to the sunny Gulf of Mexico and we (finally!) were able to meet them for a few brief hours on Saturday. Last year when we tried this (twice!) we were forced to change plans because of hurricanes! But we had a GREAT time seeing our friends and eating some fabulous seafood. Maggie was her usual joyful self - for most of the time. :-)



Here's our little Shrimp outside the Original Oyster House




















We didn't actually make it to the beach - it was too hot for it to be enjoyable in my opinion and traffic delayed our arrival so there wasn't time anyway. But this fall we'll take Maggie back so she can stick her toes in the sand and surf.

Maggie turned 6 months on Sunday and Monday she had her check up - all went well. She's now 15 lbs 4 oz, and 27 inches long - the doctor called her tall and skinny. He was pleased with her progress - sitting up, babbling, 2 teeth, etc. We talked about getting Maggie going on Solids - the cereal never caught on so after two weeks of trying we were taking a break so she wouldn't get frustrated. And discussed getting her started on using a cup (that was a surprise for me!). She had 3 shots and one oral vaccination.

Of course we can't believe how fast she is growing up! But she's still our little princess. :-)
