GROWING, LEARNING, CONQUERING NEW THINGS

Priya is halfway through her first year!!!  She is six months old!  I can't believe it!  She had her six month checkup today and weights 16 lbs 8 oz and 25 3/4" tall.  So far, everything is going great!  She had her first taste of solids (prunes) on Tuesday, which she absolutely LOVED!  She tried taking the spoon from me and reached for the bowl.  That girl loves to eat!  

She has been working on getting her toes in her mouth for a while now, but finally managed the feat (of her feet) yesterday!  I haven't managed to get a pic just yet!  She still hates tummy time and is trying to bypass anything to do with it, so she has been trying out a different way to get around...back crawling.  So far, it isn't working out for her.

Priya meets with her orthopedic doc for the first time tomorrow to start follow up of her two hemivertebrae. Hopefully nothing with become of them, but better to watch them than not.  Tomorrow night, the two of us will be spending the night away from home for a sleep study.  It is something she has to do before her eventual cleft palate surgery or tongue surgery (if needed).

We had a visit from Priya's Uncle Lee and her Aaja and Aaji over the Labor Day weekend.  It wasn't a very long visit, but we soaked up the family time we could get.  We also Face Timed her Uncle Joey.  Next week, the two of us fly to Montana to see MY family!  My brother-in-law, Craig, and my niece and nephew have not met Priya yet, and my dad hasn't seen her since she was a month old!  Priya will also get to meet someone very, very special for the first time, her great-grandad!  Unfortunately, we have to leave her daddy behind to work and will miss him terribly.
