March is indeed a month of birthdays around here, and this year we have an extra "birthday" of sorts. Today is Amanda's six month birthday! I'm not normally one to celebrate half-birthdays, but I think that the six month milestone is huge. It is hard to believe that she has lived six full months. On one hand it seems like yesterday that we brought Amanda home; on the other hand, I can't imagine what life was like without her.
By the way...happy half-birthday Dad. Yours is tomorrow. What is it like being 62 and a half? Isn't that a big milestone in the retirement world?
Here are some pictures of Amanda's first real feedings. They happened last Wednesday at lunch and dinner and Thursday at lunch. She spit up about 15 times on Friday morning, as she tried to digest the rice cereal, so we haven't attempted it again. Maybe we'll try again later this week. Again, it was so evident that this is the third child. Her yucky face that she made on Thursday with the plain rice cereal didn't faze me. I just asked Scott to grab one of the bananas off the counter, pealed it, mashed it with a fork, mixed it with the cereal and offered it to her. She loved it and ate every bite. (That could explain all of the spit up on Friday.)
Scott is such a big helper. He gave her this first bite of food and then took over on the camera. The picture above of me is one that he took, along with about 100 other pictures. The great thing about the digital camera is that I was able to delete most of them. Scott loves to take pictures.
