6 Months Old

Landry is six months old!!! We went to the doctor today and here are the latest stats:

Weight: 17.5lbs (about 76 percentile)
Height: 27" (about 86 percentile)
Head: 17.25" (about 83 percentile)

She's getting so big! She can sit by herself for a little while and she can army crawl all over the place. Last weekend we went and had her six month picture done. Here are a few of them:
You can see all the pictures at my friend Shanon's website.

Landry got her ears pierced!

On Sunday afternoon, my friend Heather and I took Landry out shopping. While we were out, we stopped by Claire's and got Landry's ears pierced! I've been trying to decide if I wanted to get them pierced now or wait until she was a lot older. I figured now would be the best time so I can take care of them for her and she won't fight me when I have to clean them. Here's a picture of us right before they did it. It took forever for them to mark her ears because she kept looking around!We actually have a video of her getting them pierced but she starts crying pretty hard so I'm not going to post it :( She did pretty good though! They did the first one and it took a few seconds before she realized what happened and started crying. They did the second one really quick and we were done. The store was super crowded and everyone was staring at us because Landry was freaking out. I took her outside while Heather paid for me and Landry immediately calmed down. Hasn't bothered her since! Here's an after picture:
It's kind of hard to see in this picture but they look really cute! Landry is really wanting to start crawling. This week she has started doing this funny little push up thing. I will put her down on her tummy and she will push up with her arms and look around. After a few minutes, she will tense up her body and do a little push up. She holds it for like 5 seconds and then goes back down on her tummy. It's really funny to see! She does it over and over again. Here she is in her "baby push up":I think she's going to be crawling really soon. She is starting to figure it out but can't put it all together quite yet. Until she does, I guess she'll just do some push ups to get into shape :) Here's a video of her doing it a little. She wouldn't do it very long but it's still cute. Ignore my annoying voice.....

Halloween 2010

Landry had a great first Halloween! Friday before Halloween she had her party at her babysitter's house. I'm sure she enjoyed that :) On Saturday, we went to Bass Pro and they had a station to take pictures so Landry and Daddy took a picture together.
After that we went to my school where they were having a Hawkoween carnival. She got to wear her costume but Landry's too little to do much so we did the cake walk and won some cupcakes and had our picture taken.
On Halloween we got her in her costume and took her trick-or-treating to a couple of neighbor's houses. She didn't really like her costume very much but she was a very cute flower. My mom made her costume!
After that, she got ready for bed and got to wear her Halloween PJ's!
Happy Halloween!

5 Months Old

Landry was 5 months old on Wednesday! I can't believe she is getting so big! Here are some of the things she's been doing in the last month:
-Slept through the night twice so far. Hopefully this will start happening more often!
-Has started eating baby food. So far she's had rice cereal, squash, pears, carrots, bananas, and peas. I think carrots are her favorite so far.
-She can kind of sit on her own. Here's one of her first attempts:(Yes that's drool covering her shirt and she only had it on for like 10 minutes. Don't you love teething!)

-She is smiling, laughing, and playing all the time. She is a much happier baby now that she's on real foods. Her stomach doesn't hurt her nearly as much.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to take her to a pumpkin patch and take pictures. Landry wanted no part of it! She wouldn't even look at the camera, much less smile. It was past nap time and she just wanted to go to sleep! We are going to try again this weekend hopefully. Here's the best picture I got from attempt one:The rest of them looked more like this:That's her "I'm annoyed" look. She was so over the pumpkin patch! Oh well. We will try again!

Beginning of October.....

Sorry I've been a bad blogger! I've been super busy and haven't had time to post. I have a ton to post about so I'll split it into to posts.

The first week in October was a week of first for Landry. She had her first trip to Canton where my friend Heather proceeded to spill beans all over Landry's stroller, a little later sweet tea on Landry, and then corn all over my car when we were about to leave. Landry was great though :)

That Wednesday, Landry went to the State Fair for the first time. She was very good. We were there all day and she didn't fussy at all. They had a Tom Landry exhibit there and there was a sign out front that said "Landry Entrance" so we had to stop and take a picture.

That Friday was Landry's first football game. She went to the game with me and her Mimi and Papa Roy came and picked her up to spend the night. We took some pictures before she left in her cute tutu.

It was a great week and Landry was very good! She is getting some much easier to take out and do stuff with. Love it!

4 Month Doctor's Appointment

Landry had her 4 month check up today. Here are the current stats:

Weight: 15.3 lbs (74th percentile)

Height: 25 1/2 inches (81st percentile)

Head: 16 1/2 inches (66th percentile)

Still pretty proportional. She's going to be tall like her daddy I think. The doctor said we could start her on foods now so we went home and tried some cereal. Apparently Landry is not a fan of cereal. I don't think she swallowed one bit of it. She was really happy and would open her mouth for the spoon but then she would spit it right back out. Oh well. We'll try it a couple more times and then maybe just move on to veggies. I doubt cereal tastes very good anyway. Here's a couple pictures of her trying her cereal out.

Getting Big

Sorry for the lack of posts. Not much going on around here. Landry is getting so big! I can't believe she will be four months old next week. She's moved up to size 2 diapers a few weeks ago and she's wearing 3-6 month clothes now. She goes to the doctor next week to get her checkup and shots so I'll post her stats then.
