Six Month Check Up & Baby Food

Today we took Olivia to the Doctor for her six month check up. Chad came along this time. He didn't have much going on at work so he came with us. She weighed 16 1/2 lbs and was 24 1/2 inches long. I never know the percentiles. He says she is average for weight and a little below average for her height. Which is expected since I am short.

She got four shots and the Rotavirus by mouth. Dr. D said she looked great was happy to see how well she was sitting up unsupported. He also said that we could slowly start to introduce some table foods. I was like great. The only time Chad comes and he had to say something about her eating table food. He is always trying to get me to let her taste things. Mostly just the sauce from something and he just had to put a little bit of lemon juice on the end of straw with water for her to taste. I don't know...I just have this weird thing about her eating table foods to early. I mean he didn't tell me I had to give her anything like tomorrow, but just in the next few weeks we could start to introduce some foods to her if we wanted to. So far she doesn't seem to be a picky eater with the stage 1 baby foods. She will eat all the foods even the prunes and green beans. Most babies don't like green beans for some reason. Personally I don't really care for her to eat the green beans because they stink! But I do like green beans...just not mashed up green beans.

Have any of you moms ever thought about making your own baby food? I have thought about it, but that is as far as I got.

Wordless Wednesday

Almost...

I can't believe my baby is six months old today. It's crazy how fast time goes by. She will be one before I know it.

Bag Tag

Okay Blog World (girls) here is a little tag for you. It's a Bag Tag. Here are the rules:

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying right now.
2. How much did it cost. Basically just give a story with your bag where you got it, if you got it on sale, etc.
3. List and describe what is actually in your bag. This should be interesting.

My current purse.
I bought this purse the day after Thanksgiving at Belk. I needed a new black bag and thought this would be a good fit plus it was on SALE!! It was regular $60 and I got it for $15!!

Inside

I really like this purse. I think it's a good size, and it's easy for me to find what I am looking for. Chad on the other had said it looked like a garbage bag. What does he know?

Contents
Some of the bigger items in my purse are my Vera wristlet which I love. Most of the time I just carry the wristlet. It has my drivers license, debit card and cell phone. An external hard drive for work. My make-up bad, wallet with checkbook and check register, and a Louis Vuittion bag that I use to keep my tampons and panty liners in.

Smaller Items

2 types of Johnson & Johnson's lotion, hand sanitizer, finger nail clippers, a bag of popcorn, a bag of 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels (I had those in there for work. My purse sometimes doubles as my lunch box.) Two peppermints, a pack of gum, cream from Olivia's dermatologist, chap stick I never use, a pony tail holder with 2 bobby pins. Midol (actually Sarah's), Server tape for work, Tylenol Cold and Sinus medicine, 2 panty liners (since I had the Mirena inserted I am not really regular so I have to be prepared. By the way...if you have had a baby or maybe you haven't and you would like something 10 times better than the pill, I would highly recommend Mirena) and tissue.

Miscellaneous Papers

This is not has bad as it was just a couple of days ago. I just threw away about 10 receipts. I am so bad to hold onto receipts. I have my receipt from lunch (Zoe's my favorite!) Chad's truck bill with debit card transactions written on it. An old check register. And a couple of more random receipts.

There you have it. That's what you would find in my bag (purse) right now. I am really getting to where I don't even carry a purse that much. I just use my wristlet and the other times I have a diaper bag. I really only carry my purse into work.

I tag whoever wants to be tagged! What's in your bag?

Thursdays 13

1. Is it Thursday already?!? This week has flew bye.

2. Tonight our bible study group and a few other girls are going to Sips N Strokes. I am so excited and can't wait! I love going. It is so much fun and relaxing. Here is what we will be attempting.

3. I am finally able to get my hair cut Friday. I have been putting it off and really need a cut. I love getting it done!

4. I ordered a new cell phone yesterday. Mine is on the verge of biting the dust. I decided to go with the Pink Black Jack II. I am not a total pink girl, but I thought it was cute. My color is GREEN.

6. Last week our church showed the movie "Fireproof." The turnout was great and we had a lot of fun! I still think every couple needs to see this movie.

7. I am kind of struggling here for 13 things...

8. Oh...we had our taxes done Tuesday night. We are getting enough back to pay off our heat pump! Yay!! Oh, and next year we get to count the heat pump!

9. I think that this Stimulus Package is a bunch of crap and is the craziest, silliest thing I have ever heard!

10. One of the issues they read this morning on R&B was $90,000 for doorbells in Laurel, Mississippi which created 2 jobs! Are you kidding me?!? $90,000 for doorbells? That is ridiculous.

11. Next Friday me, Olivia and mom are going to Cottontails Village at the civic center. I hope to find Livi some new little outfits and some more hair bows...that are just the right size. ;)

12. I bought Olivia her first swimsuit last week. Just a little one piece. It's so cute! I can't wait to see what she will do in the pool this Summer.

I got the one on the bottom.

13. I am beyond ready for warm weather. Olivia already loves to be outside. Everytime we take her out she just looks at everything and talks the whole time. She's so sweet.

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Fireproof

Our church (Glory Fellowship Baptist) will be showing the movie "Fireproof" Friday night at 7pm. Every couple needs to watch this movie! It's awesome. You can email me (mrswaldrop@gmail.com) if you need more information or directions. Child care will be provide and we will have free drinks and popcorn.

Below is a little sneak peake.

Home Sick

I am home sick today. I am pretty sure it was from my lunch yesterday. I was feeling somewhat better when I woke up this morning but felt yuck when I started moving around and getting ready. So, I just took a day today.

I wanted to post these pictures of Olivia. She is really starting to scoot around here lately. Friday I had layed her down on the pallet to play while I did some stuff in the kitchen. After a few mintues I went in there to check on her and didn't see her immediatly. I freaked out for a second, then turned the corner to veiw the whole living, and found her playing with the xbox controller cords. Here are a few pictures of her from Monday night.

Where I layed her down.

Where she ended up.
