Half a year, already??

We are settling into life in Austin (although at times it feels like we're in Seattle-it's been raining everyday!) and still trying to get the house in order. It is definitely a harder task with little Gaby around. But we are making some definite progress. We already had some visitors- my brother and niece, and my dear friend Laurel from Atlanta. We had a wonderful girls weekend (mexican food & margaritas, shopping, brunch & pedicures) and caught up on old times.

Gaby just turned 6 months! Can you believe it?? At her appointment with her new pediatrician she weighed in at 18 lbs 7 oz and 27 inches (I'm not too sure how accurate the length was since it was done much differently than in St. Louis) So with these stats she's in the 90th and 75th percentiles respectively. Our big girl is officially sitting up on her own! She loses her balance occasionally and still needs help getting back into position but is capable of sitting up and playing on a blanket with her toys.

With her newfound skill she is also sitting in a highchair and shopping carts. Makes our shopping trips alot easier:) We also got an exersaucer which she enjoys for only a few minutes here and there. But it still gives me a time to get some stuff done.
