My motley crew.

Happy 6 months my little chipmunk! No sentimental ramblings here about how quickly the first year goes - it really does fly by (because honestly, did I not JUST bring her home?), but I find the first 6 months to be pretty challenging. Looking forward to the next 6 months (and beyond, obviously)....perhaps I need to start planning her birthday party now. ;)

Okay, I realize this is a picture of the back of her head, but that's not really the point. She's up on her knees! She's been trying pretty hard lately to move, I have a feeling it won't be long now. You can also see the stylish vaccine bandaid she is sporting, her 6 month (!!) needles were today. She apparently did fine (Josh took her in), but has shrunk an inch over the past 2 months, ha ha. I'm not actually concerned that she's shrunk, I could take her to get measured by three different people in one day and get three different measurements. :P

I can't imagine anyone being particularly pleased to be photographed while eating. Regardless, this was a kickass meal. Homemade baking powder biscuits (Grandma Schroeder's recipe, with cheese), and this amazing vegetable chowder recipe. Yes, I just used the words "amazing" and "vegetable" in the same sentence. It really was sooooo good, and it made lots! Can't wait for leftovers. :)

I made an attempt to encourage craft time with Wyatt. My first attempt failed miserably when I used regular corn syrup, not clear corn syrup in an I-Spy "underwater" bottle. Hard to see anything in that murky brown goo. Nicely done, mommy (in my defense, I didn't realize it would be THAT dark...I thought it would just be yellow-ish). Anyway, the pipe cleaners were a much bigger hit, especially when Josh made him a pair of glasses. :)

Just playing around!

Double the photos to make up for my lack of posting. Wyatt is doing so much better, thank you to everyone that said a prayer for him, and sent well wishes his way. He is still limping, but his energy is back and he was in a pretty good mood all day. Hopefully it will all clear out in a few days and he'll be right as rain again. :)
