March 14 was her 6 month mark. Just so hard to believe that she is already half way to a year. I sit and watch her change every day and still I feel like I haven't seen enough! Her facial features have started changing dramatically in the last couple weeks and her jaw line is preparing for the ever anticipated TEETHING episodes to begin. She is sitting in her stroller and her high chair with no assistance and loves to hang in her Pack and Play with her musical bird. She grabs at things with high concentration and has wonderful finger dexterity.
We took her to the Columbus Home and Garden show and she was a champ for the whole 7 hours we were there! From there we went to a dinner at Dave's boss' house and still not a complaint. She is getting better at church and we even took our first trip to the library together. She really enjoyed that because they had puzzles and a huge Cat in the Hat doll that she just loved.
We went to look at some daycare operations and were 
scared right out of a Goddard school, which disappointed me as I know their reputation. They are, however, a franchise and this particular location smelled like a vet office, was unorganized and the staff looked and dressed unkempt. So so disappointing. Hannah smiled and reached out her hand and touched two of the other little girls and they didn't even respond....no smile, no expressions, just blank stares. So the Kindercare we went to was wonderful. Smelled clean, great staff, all the kids pretty happy, rooms clean and organized (except for the mayhem that was lunch when we got there!). That gives me some hope and perhaps now I can find a job!!! lol

She took one bottle and would have nothing to do with the second one. Hopefully we will be adding in some juice soon. All in due time. She is very social and interactive even with people she doesn't know. Our friends Becky, Scott and son Samuel stopped in last weekend and she really enjoyed the interaction with Samuel, who is 10 I believe. That Sunday we had other friends who had a three year old and a teen ager come visit and she watched carefully at all what was going on.
We are into the 6-9 month box of clothes now and are continuing to be grateful to Kathy Sutton for all the clothes she saved for us! We have been taking walks out to the pond every day, watching the dogs run (which is great entertainment) and doing plenty of dancing with our Playschool sing along CD. We even spent a little time on the blanket in the not quite dry yard yesterday.Our 6 month check up put her at 16.4 lbs and 25 1/2 inches long. Moving along nicely! Now Mom needs to save up for some cool stuff like puzzles for our house and some board books, since all our are a little more advanced!
