6 Months!

Okay...first let me start with...I'M SORRY!  Life has been a bit...hectic/wierd around here lately.  I am sorry that I didn't post about Christmas and all that good stuff.  It was a GREAT holiday.  We went to Arlington to have Christmas the weekend of the 20th and then we drove to College Station to have Christmas with the extended McHam family.  On Christmas day we flew to Oregon to stay at Travis' Aunt's cabin (massive house) in Tygh Valley.  It was awesome.  We went four-wheeling, hiking and we even visited the hot tub on the final morning in the rain.  Yup...fun times! :)  

Jayden got her first Santa gifts: a little red wagon (Radio Flyer...of course)!  She also got a couple of toys to encourage her to crawl.  She enjoys them all!  

So...now that we are home...we went in for Jayden's 6 month check up.  She is doing great!  Here are her stats:

1) 25 1/4 in =  31%

2) 14 lb 11 oz = 24%

3) 41 cm  = 12%

Like I said...doing great.  She is a petite thing, but beautiful and happy and growing strong.  She is sitting up on her own now and loving the independence.  Her favorite food is YAMS!  She loves to eat!

Well, Jayden was sleeping 11 hours at night until about a month and a half ago.  Then she decided that 8 hours was  enough.  So...that meant waking up at 4am to keep her company.  Ugh!  We have started to feed her more at night before she goes down, but she still is having a bit of a hard time making it to a reasonable hour.  I'm not sure what to do, but I figure that once she decided to actually go to 2 naps a day...things will get better.  Oh yes...we are moving out of the swaddle stage...woohoo!

OH YEA!!!  I almost forgot...

Jayden was on tv.  Well, her picture at least.  I sent a picture of Jayden in a Mavericks jersey to Mark Cuban when she was 5 months old.  During the games, they show pictures of fans that have sent in their photos.  On Friday night they showed Jayden's picture on tv during the game!  

Ah...the joys of motherhood!
