A Day in the Park

We finally had a nice (well sunny) day and mommy wanted to try out her fancy new camera so we went to the park on Sunday. We had to finish watching the Blazer game before we could go and it went into double overtime so I got tired pretty quickly. I did have a chance to play on the swing though...



And here's the pictures that mommy tortured me with. She's trying to take pictures in manual mode so it takes her like 5 years to setup each picture. She'll get it someday.





6 Month Doctor Appointment

I had my 6 month doctor appointment last week and it was pretty much the same as usual - measurements, pee on the bed, doctor exam, shots. Here's my measurements on the growth charts:



The doctor's only concern was that my head is kind of small (25th percentile) compared to the rest of me so she wanted me to come back in a month for another measurement. Mommy and daddy are sure it's fine, the doctor just doesn't believe that Richie's have small heads. Who wants a normal melon-sized baby noggin anyway, mine's way cuter.

Doc also said that I could have 2 meals a day of solid foods, and 3 meals a day in another week or so. I'll be eating like a big girl in no time.

0.5 Years Old

This was a busy month. We had 3 Christmas parties, 2 birthday parties, an anniversary party, and 2 play dates. I was good for almost all of them and let lots of strangers hold me. Mommy says we know them, but I've never seen them before.

My new "tricks" for this month are blowing bubbles and pulling my feet up to my mouth. I'm continuing to practice rolling over and sitting up. I also still love to stand and enjoy playing with my gym mat from all angles - laying down, sitting up, and standing over the top.

Yummy Yummy In My Tummy

I started out the new year with some new food, trying rice cereal for the first time. It was scrumdiddlyumptious (to borrow mommy's word). Daddy couldn't get it to my mouth fast enough. I tried to steal the spoon, but he apparently didn't think I was ready to feed myself.
