Watch out Cindy Crawford...

We had Chy's 6 month pictures done today and I told the photographer that she was a hard nut to crack when it came to smiling for pictures. Boy, did she prove me wrong. She was FULL of smiles and giggles. Maybe this whole time she just wouldn't smile for cheap a$$ cameras, like ours. She was hilarious!! She said I should be able to see some of the pics tomorrow and the rest in a bout 7 days. I will put the link up when I have it. Gordon and I got in a couple of the shots! We even had a wardrobe malfunction and had to change one of the planned outfits and we still were done in 45 min... I think we have a professional on our hands... She was exhausted, though. We had to run out and get a sandwich after and she slept through it all!! She needs her beauty sleep. Thank God the photographer said she can edit out drool... we had buckets flowing.

PS... I went back to work today from the surgery. I feel good. I'm still a little sore and swollen (I hope, none of my pants fit). It was hard to leave Chy, again. I know I will get back in my working routine, but it was hard to leave her this morning.

6 mos check up!

Chy visited the doctor today. She was weighed in at 17 lbs and 9 oz and 27 inches tall! Her weight fell into the 76 percentile and her height in the 86th. The doctor said she is perfect! : ) DUHHH She set us at ease a little with Chylar rolling over at night. She tested her strength and said she is strong enough and it is instinctual to lift/turn your head to breathe. Lets see if WE sleep better, now! She said she is ready to sit and is almost there. She has had rice and oat cereal and will have some veggies tonight!!

Happy Anniversary, Gord!

Not a lot has been easy for us the last 4 years, but our marriage has been. We are true partners and get through everything stronger than we started. I'm not saying we don't fight : ), but we do it lovingly. Obstacles can make a couple or break them... they made us! I love you, Gord!!

Tonight we are going out to dinner to celebrate with our baby girl! We are so happy to be able to do this. This has been a very good year...

Enjoy some old photos...

6 month old!

Chy has turned 6 months! This means she needs her picture taken professionally! I scheduled it today. I'm hoping we sneak in a family portrait, too. We are due. She has started to eat cereal and oh it is sooo cute. I knew she would love it. She gets so excited when she sees the spoon. She grabs the spoon and wants to feed herself, but then starts to gag : ) She is a valley girl, for sure, for sure. (Gag me with a spoon, totally) For her first feeding, Gord and I did rock, paper, scissors to see who got to feed her and HE won... ARRRGG! I got stuck video taping. She is moving into 9 mos clothes! She is getting a little more moody which makes me think teeth may be coming. I can't believe she is 6 mos already. Time is flashing before my eyes.

2 weeks post op!

I went for my 2 week post op check up and was given permission to hold C!!! YEA! I will never take for granted holding her. I still can't pick her up, but she can be placed in my arms (until she starts flailing). It was a good day. I feel OK. Still sore, but I will live : ) I am restless and want to move more, but I know I need to stay put.

Yesterday, I saw Chy make a razzing sound with her mouth... cute. With all the drool she was making bubbles. She is chomping on EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING is saturated with her drool. We may be getting teeth soon. We are on the count down for food! Get the cameras ready. I know she will love eating. She stares at us while we eat and her lips move and her eyebrows go up. So curious.
