6 months


Ada is 6 months old today! I cannot believe she's 6 months old already...and then again, I can't believe she's only been here for 6 months! This little peanut has grown so much. She's almost up to the 50th percentile for both height and weight! The milestones are coming fast these days. She's rolling like crazy from back to front and front to back...but mostly to her right. She gets mad when she's up against her activity gym or a wall and can't keep rolling. She loves sitting and standing up with support.

We had a few visitors this month. John's parents stayed overnight one night in early April, my mom stayed for a few nights in late April, and my cousin Jenna visited too. We went to Oshkosh for Easter and saw Annie and Ben's new house. My parents came too which was great. My dad hadn't seen Ada since Christmas! We also traveled up to Marshfield/Stratford for my Aunt Jeri's funeral. It was great to see the Spindler side of the family but not great circumstances. Rest in peace, Aunt Jeri.

Last weekend we made our annual trip to Madison for the Crazylegs Classic. I ran the 8K and John walked the 2 mile with Conor and Lisa with Ada in the stroller. We saw lots of friends and family that weekend...my Aunt Mary and Uncle Jeff, Conor and Lisa, Kurth's, and my cousin Jill and her family. It was a busy but awesome weekend!

Today we officially got the go ahead to start Ada on solid food. We're going to give "baby led weaning" a try. Basically, you just offer whole (soft) foods instead of purees. Before today, we had let Ada suck on raw carrots, celery, and cucumbers (and cooked asparagus) but tonight we gave her a cooked carrot. She actually ate some of it...and mostly by herself too!
