The missing socks and DaDa
I think it's funny that she actually reacts to my question, "Where's your socks?" by looking down like, "Gee, I don't know?!"
Why I Hate My PCP's Office Staff Part II
I showed up for Rachel's six month appointment at 11 a.m. today only to be told that the appointment is tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Now, I have an appointment at 11 tomorrow, which was scheduled after my first OB followup appointment so I know that it has been in my planner forever.
Why would I schedule Rachel's appointment for that day? So, I say to the receptionist, "Well, how are we going to fix this?" And, she says, "I don't know. I wasn't the one who showed up on the wrong day." EXCUSE ME?
Then, I think she caught herself. "Let's look at the schedule and see when we can reschedule you for." Yeah, do you think?
So, we begin looking at dates and every day or time she gave I couldn't do. And, then, like icing on a cake she peers over her reading glasses and says sternly, "You're going to have to work with me to get this scheduled." What exactly does one say to that?
"Really? Because up until this point, I've been trying to see how long until you snap. Looks like I've done it. Now, let's get down to business."

Bashful
Rachel is a rather pleasant baby but her over-the-top reaction to strangers (and, funny enough, her dad) is just too much.
Every time, she'll look away and bury her head in my shoulder and then quickly look back like "Oh, you're too much. But, really please do more". It's sad, but I think she's a prima donna already!
See for yourself...

Mmm, Mmm, Good
The picture to the right is macaronni, tomato and beef dinner. Delicious! *Warning: Once consumed, Macaronni, Tomato and Beef Dinner will cause anything coming out of your baby to smell just like the contents of the jar of baby food* PS: The smell is not exactly what you would call pleasing...
Unrelated but Pretty!
Here's our view from the dining room. Gotta love all the pollution in the air around here that causes all the colors :)

Words!
Well, sort of words. She is saying "da" and "ba" and what sounds a whole heck of a lot like "hi". All in one day. She slept in today. That must have done it!

Talking, or whatever you call it
Ahhheeee. Agggeeee. Ahhhgh.
Yes, the words of a 6-month old. She talks non-stop to anyone and anything. Usually flailing her arms and legs and screaming between "words".
I read online today that a 6-month old should be able to have noticable words "da", "ma", "ga". Though she doesn't do that quite yet, it's coming. Endless babble flows, mostly with her hand wedged inside her mouth.
Still no teeth yet. They are also coming.
She's getting up on her knees but usually has her head down. Or she's on her hands but butt is down. Ahh, the complicated combination that will open the door to mobility (and the rooms we've been keeping her out of).
It happens so fast. I half expect her to walk into the room one day with a "Hey, mom".
Someone once told me that we spend the first year telling them to stand up, walk and talk and we spend the rest of their lives telling them to sit down and shut up.
Profound, I do think.
