And More Milestones...

As you can see from the last post we graduated Summer to the Keilty Backpack carrier. It's much easier on the back. She growing much meatier.

At her last 6 mos. apointment Summer was 15 1/2 lbs and 26 1/2 inches. In babyland that's a little below average weight, yet tall. Dr. Lepler said she's doing great! He also noticed her top teeth were on there way.

Sure enough a week later the top teeth are making an appearance. She's not too thrilled about this. The second time around is no fun and it makes eating even more challenging!

Although, Daddy seems to have the magic touch when it comes to eating. She wouldn't touch the applesauce for me but when dad does it somehow it tastes better. In other words, Ron has a new job- "baby feeder."

She may not be the biggest eater yet, but she sure loves to talk. Her ahhhhs and uhhhhs have turned into more recognizable sounds like ba-ba-ba-ba and ah-ba and ma-ma-ma. It's especially enjoyable to be seranaded at 6:15 in the morning to ba-ba-ba-ba. Who needs a rooster!

Hike With Mike

This might be the last hike with Unk for a little while since he's going back to work. We went to Huddard County Park today in Woodside. At first we thought it was a dud hike but the road back was through a beautiful redwood grove with a stream, lush ferns and wild flowers. Summer took one of her usual naps in the pack. She is getting way too heavy for that thing! I felt the burn carrying her sleeping body up the hill. I think we'll be graduating her to the Keilty Backpack next week. Anyway, here are some great pics that my brother took.
