Catching Up

Well, it's been a while. The longer I wait to update the blog the more daunting it becomes. We've been busy! Edie turned six months on the 10th while we were visiting my parents in North Carolina - "Nanaland," as we like to call it. It was a fun vacation filled with lots of beach and pool time and golf lessons for me! Todd got in a couple rounds and I played my first nine holes, so we got a little bit of time in for ourselves while Nana and Papa watched the kids. Grandma Mann was also there for the first few days and spent a lot of time holding Edie, who seemed to prefer napping in her lap. She's a pro!

Updates on the kiddos:

• Edie now weighs 16 lbs 8 oz (60th %) and is 26 1/2" long (80th %)
• Her first two teeth are making an appearance on the bottom. Anna didn't get hers until 7-8 months so it seems early
• She can sit up for a few seconds at a time before launching herself forwards or backwards
• Both girls were great travelers. Anna watched videos (Princess and the Frog is her current favorite) and played with her dolls. Edie nursed and slept. Good practice for our trip to Michigan in August!
• We started Edie on solids and so far she is not a fan. She gags and gives me this look that seems to say "why???"

Here are a few pictures from the trip. For the whole album click on this link.
