6 months & 1st Thanksgiving

Well - here is Miss Beth surrounded by all kinds of presents at Nana Kellermeier's house. She really loved playing with all the gold shiny ribbon. She is sitting up really well....only topples over after a few minutes...only concern - she is too spoiled (or lazy) to roll over. Hopefully she will accomplish that milestone soon. Here she is with Robin after a day of partying for Bryson's 3rd birthday. We always love going over there - and Robin has been so helpful with advise throughout this first six months...i don' t know what i would do without her.

Beth had to catch a "cat nap" towards the end of Bryson's birthday party...just to much fun hanging out with Kymbree.

Jodi came in for Bryson's b-day party too....so Beth got to hang out with her "aunt jojo" all weekend. It sure was good to see her - i really do miss her. She is getting married this summer! Woohoo!!! Lucky guy.

Here is her 6 month picture. She sure can "ham it up" now. It is so much fun when she smiles and giggles back. She got 4 shots (one vaccine and the flu shot) and one oral vaccine at the doctor's office. Weight was 16lb14oz (67%), Height was 27.5 inches (95%) and head was (86%)...can't remember the circumference right now. Everything looks good - we get to start on meats...but no stage 3 foods b/c she has no teeth yet...nor does she roll over...but she does sit up unsupported.

Beth and Kymbree are just hanging out at Bryson's b-day party. I am hoping they will turn out to be as good of friends as her mom and I. That sure would be fun. These two girls were sure having fun touching (pulling) each others hair.

She can stand and "bear weight" on her legs really well. And she just looked too cute in this picture not to share. And no - i didn't turn the picture...b/c it does something in my camera and i end up losing the picture forever...so please just turn your head...and don't make fun of me :)

She loves laying on Daddy's tummy. Too bad she hates tummy time all the rest of the time...or she might learn to roll over. HE! HE!

Beth and Daddy under the mistletoe. Boy - does she LOVE grabbing the bell and playing with it.

And yes...she loves sparkly things. If she could - she would yank everything she could off the try and shove it in her mouth. Here - she is laughing so hard...you think she would explode.

This is Sally's christmas tree this year...i just thought it was an awesome idea...so wanted to share it with everyone.

She also LOVES the chair that Nana Kellermeier has for children...it is super cute.

And of course - Miss Nosey had to grab a hold of the christmas trees as Sally was putting them up. Looks like she is going to take after Mommy.

She had her first Thanksgiving. This is her cousin Chad...he is quite the athlete at Wall Jr. High. I think he and John are so much alike. It is so much fun watching him "grow up".

And here is Beth with her cousing "Little Jill"...i think these two girls will look a lot alike. Jill sure is cute...and LOVES to hold Beth.

And here is the 5 generation picture. John, Sally, Sally's mom (Nannie) and Sally's grandma (Mam ma). It is really neat that we have a 5 generation picture...we got one made at Sears too...and it turned out really good.
