Vera's Six Month Well Check

Today Vera had her six month well check. She'll be seven months on Sunday.
She weighed 19lbs 5oz and was 27 1/4 inches tall. She was happy, babbling, and content as long as I was holding her, but she freaked out a little, even before the shots, when the doctor was checking her out. Typical Vera. Very happy baby, but definitely a mama's girl. Cried hard at the shots, nursed and was all better, then went home and took a 2-hour nap(!), which she never ever does. She is a catnapper usually.

The older girls loved the new doctor's office (we switched pediatricians, which is why Vera's appointment was so far from her six month mark). We were in the space themed room, and the stars glowed in the dark. Which was cool for the girls but meant I spent the visit trying to get them to leave the lights on.

And today it felt like spring! We spent lots of time outdoors enjoying the weather. A very good day if you ask me (but maybe Vera would disagree, she is the one who got four immunizations today).

First Day of Ballet Class

Today is Elise's very first day of ballet class! She was super excited, and she did great! She's a natural.

I think this picture just about sums up her excitement.
And here's a lower quality one. But seriously, she was grinning so big.
Her teacher, Miss Grace, is so sweet with the girls.

It's a big one!

Snow Cave

Matt made a snow cave as a scout once and wanted to make one for the girls to play in. So much fun! They loved having an igloo.

Ballet Shoes


Aunt Holly sent us the best package in the mail, including all kinds of fun ballet clothes. Elise nearly jeté-ed to the moon when we opened it.
