Dr Appt Update

Yesterday, Danica and I went for her 8 month check-up (yes, I realize we are a little late, but it happens).

She is 18 lbs (25-50 percentile) and 29 inches (90 percentile).

I would add a picture, but I am at work and I don't have any current pictures on my computer, but you can trust me she is still totally cute. :)

Yummy

Here is more opportunity to see Danica being super cute--this time she is feeding herself. We are pretty sure we will need to keep these chicken sausages on hand for her--she loves them. :)

Gosh I just love that little girl!!

A Round of Applause Please...

Today Danica showed us that she knew how to clap...and we were so excited we wanted to share it with you. But as usual Danica did not make this incredibly easy to do.

First attempt:

She saw the light and then it was a no go. But I have to say she is rather cute so I thought I would share.

Second attempt:

This time she saw the camera and it was over. I swear she has a knack for seeing that I am trying to share some aspect of her cuteness and that stops her immediately. :)

Final attempt--Corey did a covert op with the camera which involved looking down after she looked at him so she could not see he had the camera. But this time you really get to see the clapping. :)

And yes we were watching the Cubbies on TV--very important to teach Danica from the beginning who the best team in baseball is. :)

Dolly

I am a little behind in blogging, so I didn't get a chance to tell everyone about Danica's first dolly. Jenny, Danica and I went out to brunch at Mimi's cafe and then we went to Carters. Carters was having a WONDERFUL sale--so I got Danica a couple of onies. Jenny got Danica her first Dolly. The funniest thing was that while I wa taking Danica's pictures she decided she didn't want to share the limelight with her new Dolly. She kept getting in front of her Dolly in the pictures. I wonder--does this mean her dislike of the camera?

And I even managed to get a picture of her smiling--that really was the highlight of the day. :)
