6 Month Check Up

Anneliese had a great 6 month check up! Dr. says she is perfect in every way... just has a giant noggin. She got more vaccines and a flu shot today that made her almost scream her giant head off, but she got over it pretty quickly.

Height: 26 inches = 51%
Weight: 16lbs 1oz. = 44%
Head Circumference = 17.5 inches = 91%

Busy Weekend!

ALF had a ridiculously busy weekend.  She is exhausted.  Saturday morning ALF and daddy went to the Kids Exchange Consignment Sale.  We got there right at 9am and the line went all the way around the dome.  It was nuts!  We bought a Laugh and Learn music table thingy.  Then we went to baby lap time at the library.  She struck up a conversation with a baby named Lily a la talking twins.  It was hilarious.

Today we went to Lake George and saw Keith and AnnMarie again!  We went to the Adirondack Winery for a tasting (ALF had a good time).  Then we went out to eat again at Red Lobster.  ALF enjoyed the reading material on our table. We were spoiled this weekend. 

 

ALF will miss AnnMarie.  Something about her face makes ALF giggle.

¡Ay, caramba!

Keith and AnnMarie came by the palace for a visit.  We all went out to eat mexican food at El Mexicano!  It was deliciosa.  ALF was an angel as usual. 

ALF loves AnnMarie's hair.

Grandma!

Anneliese had SO much fun with Grandma the past 3 days. She smiled and laughed 97.3% of the time. She can't wait for Grandma to come back to babysit again!!

ALFimoto! 3.5 - 6months video!

Lay Off Me, I'm Starving!!!

Starting to see a bit of a similarity here...

Are you my Father?

Geez, you look and sound an awful lot like my daddy....
let me grab at your face to find out for sure.

Felicia and Uncle Dan came to visit Anneliese!

Cuddle Time

0 to 6 in a Flash!

She has gotten so big and beautiful in just 6 months!

6 months old!!!

Yay!  We made it half a year and we still have all our fingers and toes!  Hooray!

Shopping Trip

So we took ALF shopping and told her she could pick out 1 thing...

I guess she has expensive taste.

Look What I Can Do!!!

Busy Day

ALF loves puppets!

ALF went to the Natural Family Festival and participated in the Great Cloth Diaper Change today.  We helped break a world record! Yay!  We bought a cloth swimmy diaper to swim in this summer. 

We also stopped by New York Toy and Hobby and bought a puppet.  ALF loves puppets.  We may need to buy this one next->

Our last stop of the day was prom.  You heard me, prom.  ALF wore her crown and made a royal appearance to appreciate her loyal subjects. 

Just a Girl and her Monkey

Anneliese has almost been able to roll over from her back to tummy and can make it about 3/4 of the way. She can also sit temporarily without support but is still a little weeble-wobbly. In one week she'll be 6 months old!! Holy moly!

Orange looks good on you, Mom

Squash is more fun when sprayed on the ones you love via raspberries and sneezes.

Barbie Anneliese

 

Since ALF's coronation as princess, she has been in the market for a new summer home, browsing the local realty listings. She also has been immortalized as a Barbie.

Because every girl needs a tutu...

ALF is royalty

ALF sporting her crown and amber teething necklace.

ALF's official coronation occurred today around 12:30pm.  The crown was handcrafted by an artisan from the land of etsy.  ALF's first act was a royal proclamation... she declared war on her pants.  The monarchy bombarded her enemy.  In the end, her pants were overwhelmed.  Victory!  Sadly, there were some casualties.  The royal couch needed a hard scrubbing and the royal nappy changer threw up in her own mouth. 

A walk in the park

Got Avocado?

Bargain Shopper

Anneliese went to her first garage sale today, and scooped up some great deals on outfits to wear next year. Our neighbor is having her 4th baby boy in a few months. She was given a few pink things in hopes of finally having a girl, but no such luck. Our neighbors adore Anneliese and we'll be sad to see them move soon. We'll be in the market for a new babysitter starting in September, so referrals are appreciated!

 Storytime with Daddy

CNY for Easter!

Easter basket!  Yay books!  Thanks Meemaw!  :)

 ALF went to CNY and spent time with all of her Grandparents!  She is so lucky to have so many people who love the heck out of her. 

Happy Easter!!

Easter Egg Fun!

She just is so cute I can't stand it!!!

Week in Review!

ALF passed out on her exersaucer!

It has been a few weeks since ALF rolled over on her own for the first time.  She hasn't really done it since.  That was until yesterday when she did it twice within five minutes.  Now she is a rollover champ (she can do belly to back, just not back to belly).  

ALF went to Baby Lap Time at our local library today!  She was fantastic.  She laughed hysterically the whole time.  We sang songs, listened to stories, and even watched a puppet show.  Looks like we will have to go every week. 

Raspberries!

Pure Joy

LOVES her daddy!!!

Baby Wearing!

We love our Boba baby carrier! It works perfect and can't wait to use it all the time this summer.

Baby and Puppy

Puppy love <3

Yay! Sweet Potatoes!

Baby and Cats

ALF as adorable as ever in an outfit daddy put together.  Notice how the clothes match. Booya!

The cats finally noticed a chair that wasn't covered in their fur.  They changed that real quick.
