Month #7

Christina is 6 month's old!

To start the month off we had Father's Day! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BEN!
Chris unfortunately had her first illness and couldn't attend church with her dad:(
She had her very first cold--but she's a tough girl and did just fine.

The Face

Of One

Happy Girl!

Sitting Alone!!

Christina with cousin Corbin! After this pic was
taken she started playing with his socks!

Watching a show with cousin Ingrid. Notice the band-aid,
she got her 6 month immunizations this day.

Ingrid and Christina love each other!

 Summary:

Sleeping and eating habits are the same from last month. New solids she tried this month include apple, banana, avocado, and sweet potato--yum! This month she learned to sit unassisted! Wahoo! She has also started rolling to get something she wants (which can make changing her diaper nearly impossible)! Christina now reaches for people when she wants them to hold her. On a few occasions she has given mommy kisses! She is such a sweet girl!

Likes: Watching cousin Ingrid and splashing in the bath

Dislikes: Lying still while you change her diaper

Month #6

We actually started the long trek to UT on the day she turned 5 months old. We drove 6 hours to Ben's sister's house in Columbus, OH. Where we visited with Caroline (Ben's sister), her husband Paul, and our nephew Theo! It was nice to take a little break and see their little family. Which now has a new member Owen Augustus Carruth! Yay another new cousin for Christina! Then Ben and his parents made the long trek back to UT. While Christina and I flew back. Thanks Kris and Christine for all your help! And thank goodness Christina is such a good traveler!

This picture was taken in her bedroom not long after arriving in Utah. You can see her crib in the background waiting to be assembled.

She just loves these tagging blankets! It is so funny when she just holds on to it with her teeth!

Chill'n in her p.j.'s

Summary:

Eating every 3 to 4 hours during the day. Solids she tried this month were rice cereal and oatmeal.
She now takes three good naps a day and wakes up only once at night to eat!

Not long after we arrived in Utah she started rolling over! She can now roll from tummy to back and back to tummy! Christina just started to look at books this month! She now likes to hold the pages, (we always read board books), smack the pages, and try to lick the pages. Sometimes she even tries to talk to the book! haha! She is starting to imitate sounds she hears and can make an mmma sound--won't be too long before she can say mama! Last month she found her toes this month she is putting them in her mouth!

Likes: Feeling mommy and daddy's faces and spitting (blowing rasperberries)

Dislikes: Getting her clothes changed
