6 months today!

My beautiful little girl is 6 months old today! I cannot believe how fast the last 6 months has gone.

Cassia thought she would share a few highlights of the last 6 months.

• A visit from my Gran and Poppa.
• A holiday to Australia for Uncle Chris and Aunt Martine's wedding as well as a visit to nice warm Queensland.
• A trip to Yellowstone National Park where I got to see a Grizzly Bear.
• Learning lots of new things like eating, sitting up and commando crawling.

Here is another video - this time of her mad sitting skills. Still a little wobbly, but getting there. (Martine - check out the t-shirt!)

You know you have Mumnesia when...

So, I think I finally reached the last milestone in knowing that I have Mumnesia...


...I wore two different shoes out of the house.


The worst part was that I did not notice until I was in a changing room trying on a pair of jeans, and had to take my shoes off... one black havaiana sandal, and one beige cobian sandal... two very different shoes.


I was shocked, embarrassed and couldn't stop laughing at myself. I was wondering how many people had noticed and politely pretended nothing was wrong.


The fact that I fit into a smaller size of jeans made me feel slightly better about the mishap.

Apart from my total insanity, we have been having lots of fun this summer, here are a few more pictures of Cassia.

See, she is Australian, she is part Koala.


Playing with her dolly - Miss Buttons.

Mmm... rice cereal is delish!

Here is the latest adventure in Cassia's life...

I decided Cassia was ready for solids the other day when she tried to take a bite of my 'Skinny Cow' popsicle... literally tried to chomp the top off. Good thing I have Mr Miyagi reflexes.

So here are the photos of her first meal.

Hmmm... what is this coming towards me?

I think I likey...
Oooh, now Daddy is giving me some. I like a man who feeds me.
Chomp Chomp Chomp...

He he, I got the spoon! No stopping me now!

Wow, this is so much fun! I am going to do this again!
