6 Months!

     Well, as of tomorrow, my sweet baby girl will be a half-year old! And what a happy 6-month-old she is! Her favorite activities consist of: putting anything and everything in her mouth, rolling over to her tummy, looking in the mirror, bouncing in her Johnny Jump-Up, watching her "brother" Torque, trying new foods, and watching the "magic box" (the TV). She is super curious about the world around her, and wants to touch everything! She loves getting tickled, and also loves going to "baby time" at the library. She is getting very good at pushing her arms up while on her tummy- I have an awful feeling that crawling is not too far away. ;)  She is sitting up....sort of. By sort of, I mean that she tumbles over a lot while doing it! She is also teething, although none of her teeth have broken through yet. You can certainly tell that they are moving, though!
     Last weekend, we headed to Lisbon for Emy's baptism. It was a very nice trip. Much of Chad's extended family were able to make it, as well as my parents and sister. During her baptism, she was more interested in eating the ribbons on her outfit than anything else- it was adorable! We put Chad's mom in charge of pictures, so I will post them once we get them from her. For now, I only have this one:

   The dress was HAND-MADE by Emily's Great-Grammie...it was so intricate and so well-made!
Chad is in Eau Claire again at Menard's corporate office for 3 days this week. We are really hoping that he can get this job he applied for- he has been in talks with them for about a month now. It would be sooo nice to be closer to home! Apparently it has been narrowed down to 2 guys (Chad and another guy from the corporate office) and Chad thinks he has a very good shot at getting it! I think it is time for a change of pace for him. He works really hard and it would be nice for him to have less hours and be able to spend more time with us.
