6 month Check-Up Report, Chester, and Yonanas!

See Momma! I'm so cool, I'm six months old!

I love my Dada!

Hey there baby! You're awful cute. You remind me of someone...
Well, I took a several day vacation from blogging.  It's been a pretty long week. Sylvia has been staying up pretty late and getting up early. Tuesday was Sylvia's six month check-up and shots.  We were in the dr's office for an hour and a half! Considering it was right through her nap time, she did a pretty good job.  We didn't have a melt down until the doc stuck his tool in her ears and up her nose.  She didn't like that at all.  It was kind of down hill from there.  She had to have three shots which again brought tears to my own eyes.  I absolutely hate seeing that pain and confusion in her eyes. 

The doctor told us she is growing like a weed.  She is still skinny for her age, but because she is steadily growing he didn't have a problem with her weight this time.  She weighs 14.6 lbs. She is 26 inches long, and her head is 17 inches around.  Average height and head size, below average in weight.  Doc didn't have any concerns about her, and she goes back in three months. 

Can you believe she is 6 months old? Half a year has passed since she came into the world.  Time is fling by so quickly. 

Check out this funny toy she picked out from Hobby Lobby.  I had to buy it because of the reaction it got from her.  She and I look at a lot of toys when we go to the store together.  Normally she just looks and touches and then we reshelf whatever we were looking at, but not this funny little guy.  I originally picked up a green one, and then offered her a pink one, but she reached for the orange one on the shelf.  When I picked up the orange one and pushed his noisemaker button, she laughed at him.  She LOVES this little fur ball.  He's made by the makers of Beanie Babies.  His name is Chester and he makes a high pitched jibberish noise. I'm not kidding you, he is worth the few bucks I spent on him.  It has immediately stopped several crying fits dead in their tracks already!
Meet Chester!
On this shopping trip we also bought my mother's day gift: The Yonanas machine.  I am soooo impressed with this machine.  I cannot even begin to tell you how truly happy I am with it.  For once, it's an "As Seen on TV" item, that does EXACTLY what they say it does.  It turns frozen bananas into a delicious dessert that has the same texture of soft serve ice cream.  It turns other frozen fruits into smooth sorbets.  I kid you not, I will not be buying ice cream from the grocery store again for a very long time, if ever again.   Besides being good for us, because it's made out of fruit, it's something Sylvia can eat too! A great family treat for us all! I made some for us a couple nights ago and Sylvia LOVED it.   If this machine were cheaper, I would honestly love to purchase one for each of my friends and all of our family members.  It's THAT good.
YONANAS!
Well, Mother's Day was very special being a mom this year.  It was great to get to see our Mom's and Grandmas.  The pictures I took haven't been able to be uploaded yet.  For some reason they are uploading with wierd blank lines on the bottom of the pictures.  So I will have to upload them to the desktop and then transfer them to this laptop.  I will email the pictures out once I have them available. 

Love you all!
