6 Months Old!

Emily at 6 months:19lbs 6 oz, 27 1/4 inches long, both around 90+%.
We absolutely LOVE having her in our family!

Rice Cereal

Milestones, milestones!

On Saturday Emily got her first try of rice cereal.

We're obviously not in a big hurry around here, but since Emily is almost 6 months old we thought it was time to start letting her live a little! Actually, we're afraid she's underweight so hopefully this will put some meat on her bones (haha!)

Anyway, we had fun capturing her expressions...
And here's the video.
Looking back I realize the brew was probably a little too thick and cold for her liking.
Oops! Haha, our poor little first child guinea pig. Jeff and I love being parents!

"Jeffrey Roger, you're in so much trouble!!"

"What?" he says in disbelief, "I thought three minutes would be WAY under-doing it!"

In case any of you were wondering:
When crunched for time,
!!No!! you can't throw a mound of cookie dough
in the microwave for 3 minutes,
go jump in the shower,
and expect a nice little treat to be there when you get back.

Well, we got a good laugh out of it. That is, once we could breathe again after ridding the apartment of the putrid-smoke-spouting-microwave and smoldering cookie! Yes, that's oatmeal cookie dough turned charcoal in a matter of 2 minutes. The plate broke from the heat I guess...??

Oh, Jeff, you're c-r-a-z-y!!! But that's why I love you!!!

(PS- I love the irony of Jeff wearing his BYU Alumni, AKA "I'm a college graduate," shirt... but don't hold it against him-- physics majors don't have time for Home Ec classes!)
