Silly Goose

When you are in the mood for something sweet and you don't have the right ingredients, sometimes it's necessary to improvise. Like making smores...no graham crackers? We used animal crackers. No chocolate bars? We used mini chocolate chips. No marshmallows? Um...well, we did have marshmallows. Pop those suckers in the oven and Ta-Da! Dessert in a pinch.

Charis and I set up a little picnic in the kitchen and I even gave her milk in a "grown-up" glass (reminding her every few seconds not to drop it, bite it, spill it....) The combinations gave her a case of the giggles, so I quickly grabbed the camera. She did not disappoint. Enjoy!

Squeaky Clean!

The girls got their first bath together this past week! Charis was delighted to have a friend to play with in the tub. The little mother in Charis came out when she decided to help give Atalie her bath. Good thing Attie didn't mind the facial scrub-down. Atalie thinks Charis is hilarious, which really helps.

Now weighing in...


Atalie turned 6 months at the end of June. I've been waiting to post this because her doctor's appointment wasn't until yesterday. I needed to get my stats in order. :)

Height: 27.5 inches (95%ile)

Weight: 19 pounds exactly (90%ile)


I've been wondering why Charis's old clothes aren't fitting her so well. I kept thinking How much did I shrink these? But, Atalie has caught up with Charis. Charis was only 6 ounces more at this age, and Atalie is 2.5 inches taller. Ah-ha! No wonder I'm having trouble with those crotch-snappy-things on all her clothes. And she's in a bigger diaper size, too. So, just turning 6 months old and in 9-12 month clothes, and some of Charis's 12 month clothes.


She's babbling a lot, when she can get a word in around Charis. :) She tends to be very quiet in public, taking it all in. She loves standing, smacks her big ol' belly when she's excited. No teeth yet, no rolling. Though I'm not surprised with all that tubba-tub to get moving. She loves peas, despises applesauce, and still loves tummy time. Not much hair yet, though the little bit that is coming in looks really blonde.
And she managed to get her toes in her mouth. Yay! I love it when they do that. There's a lot of grunting and straining involved, but the toes do manage to get there for a second or so.

I do loooove me some chunky babies.
