6 months old

Anastassia celebrated her 1/2 birthday this past week, turning 6 months old on 11/19/08. Oh how far we have come!

Anastassia started swimming lessons last week. Mike and I are switching days to take her to the lessons and he got the first week. Luckily one of the moms I met during the summer was also in the class and her husband took some pictures for us. Anastassia has also started eating cereal and fruits and vegetables. Thus far we have not found a food she did not like!

Anastassia just had her 6 months doctor appt today and here are her stats:

Weight 18.6 lbs - 86.2%tile
Length 26.5 in - 77.38%tile
Head circumference 17.5 in - 93.18%tile - She has a big brain!

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and then getting ready for Christmas which should be fun!

Learn to paddle

First meal in the highchair

I'm not sure about this?

Mommy will give it a try

Then daddy will try...

But I think I have this feeding thing figured out!

Green beans are good!

Halloween

Anastassia had a nice Halloween (except falling asleep at 7:30). There was a costume parade at daycare and we attempted to hand out candy at home. She really liked the costumes and seeing all the kids. Maybe next year, we will actually go out trick-or-treating.
