First Tooth and more...

6.5 months old = 1st tooth has cut through! She hadn't been acting any different except 1 thing: Usually the champion napper - for 2 days in a row during her first nap she woke up after 30 minutes and cried! This was so strange since she never cries! So I popped my finger in her mouth to check her gums and sure enough - the beginnings of her first tooth was poking through:) Her naps are back on track thankfully. She doesn't seem to mind the new tooth too much but she has started sucking in on her bottom lip right over the tooth and do new things with her tongue so we know she feels it!

Liberty is also very much enjoying her highchair, the jumperoo and sitting on her playmat. Here are some pictures from our days together.

6 months old

This post is a little tardy...but for those of you tracking my beautiful daughter - here are your Dr. apt stats!

Weight: 19 pounds 7.5 ounces (95th percentile)

Height: 28.25 inches (99th percentile!)

No teeth yet.

Sleeping: 7:30pm-8:00am and 2 naps (1.5 hours long)

She got her first cold last week.

Dr. Z said she's measuring like an 11 month old!?!?! Dear God. Liberty is a growing girl - she can sit independently, and has started scooting (inchworm crawl) - and a few times she has gotten up on all fours and rocked back and forth...so crawling is right around the corner for us. I'm excited one minute and sabotaging her the next - stop growing up baby girl! Or at least slow down please, I'm having so much fun with you just the way you are!

Isn't she so so so pretty?

These are a few of my favorite things....

San Francisco Family Trip

Liberty took her first plane ride to San Francisco! Liberty got to meet her Great Granddad before his hip replacement surgery. The bionic GGdad is going strong! We love visiting San Francisco - staying with Uncle Thom is always a highlight. We also visited during Fleet Week so we went over to Crissy Field to watch the Air Show and Blue Angels preform. We got to hang out with Andy who has moved to Walnut Creek right outside of SF...we miss him alot. Liberty loves her Uncle Andy:) Grandma Jo and Grandpa Ted even watched Liberty so I could go into the city and ride cable cars to my hearts desire. Liberty traveled well and has zero 'stranger anxiety' yet - so she just lights up when she sees new faces. She was great on the plane despite a 2 hour delay returning home. However she is very into 'shouting' with her high pitched voice for the fun of it. So I can't say she was a total angel on the plane - but passengers thought it was amusing/cute.

Grandma Jo and Grandpa Ted = LOVE!

Don't you just love this picture of Liberty with her adoring Wyatt Grandparents? She had a ball with them in San Francisco - more pictures to come soon:)

Oktoberfest in Tucson

Each Oktoberfest we try to spend with Two-Dad in Tucson - listening to Polka records, eating brats and admiring his yard. Liberty was only 2 months old the last time we visited Two-Dad, Aunt Mimi, and Aunt Nancy (GREAT Aunts now I guess) - so it was really nice to visit as a 6 month old - she just loves everybody. It was a really nice day trip and I got to see my mom too! Bonus!

Daddy and Liberty

Like father like daughter...

Mommy and Liberty

My little jellybean!

Up to Flagstaff to see Patrick

Patrick had his mid-deployment leave and he visited Flagstaff. We went up to see him, Michaela and Baby J. We had the whole Wheeler-side family together!

Strike A Pose

I went a little camera-happy the past couple days. Liberty loves a good photo shoot. Outfit #1 she looks like a boy but I had to get this onesie because it quotes our favorite movie Cool Hand Luke w/Paul Newman. "What we have here, is a failure to communicate." haha true dat. That's my new phrase with Liberty:) Outfit #2 was the same day because she puked on Cool Hand Luke. So I went to the other extreme and dressed her like the girl she is in a lovely dress from my bff Molly. The bow is compliments of Kris. Outfit #3 was the next day - a-la Old Navy. These pictures should hold the paparazzi over for a few days:)

5 months old and Labor Day Weekend

Liberty is our funny 5 month old. She is ticklish and giggles like crazy. She likes carrots and dislikes peas. She can roll over both ways, cracks up with Aunt Kelly, is a daredevil who loves to swing, and is still our sleeping champ.

Over Labor Day weekend we went to Flagstaff for the first time with her. We celebrated my mom's birthday and spent time with the Wyatts and Wheelers. Andy was also in town - we hadn't seen Uncle Andy in a month and we look forward to seeing him again for our San Fransisco trip in October. Cameron and I even got out for a lunch date (fish tacos of course) AND a movie date thanks to wonderful babysitters. Kelly hosted a cookout and we got to hang with cousin Charlie too! Liberty was also introduced to the Satterwhites and Gustafsons - her biggest long-distance fans:)
