Here are Shelby's 6 month stats:
Weight 17 lbs. 12 oz.
Height: 27 inches
Sitting on her own, Standing on her own, Rolling to get from place to place, Babbling. Eating lots of fruits and veggies and some finger foods.
She is such a sweet good natured baby. Andy and I both know we are very blessed.
We have been slightly neglectling to our dogs. The are running with me about 25 miles a week but due to school, work and weather we hadnt had the chance to take the pups to the river, there favorite summer activity. It was still pretty difficult to do with a baby and two very active dogs but everyone seemed to enjoy it.
With Andy being done with his first master's level class (he got and A!) We spent alot of early mornings before my work laying around in PJ's.
Andy and I spent alot of time together this summer working around the house and studying for his classes. Once Andy's class was over we enjoyed some time and a local beach with Shelby.
Andy and I have been trying to read to Shelby a couple time a day. Most of the time I read her childrens books like "Goodnight Moon" or the "Hungry Catepillar". Andy however prefers more stimulating texts. Here he is reading her "High Fidelity". Finally he gave in and picked a little more age appropriate book when she seemed less than interested in a book without pictures.
When we first put Shelby in the Jumperoo we had to put books under her feet. She now not only jumps constantly but spins herself around and last week Andy had to raise the level because she is getting so big. Time flies.

Holding cups, sitting on her own, standing up. All at only 5 months. I think she is trying to catch up to the dogs.
When the weather in New Hampshire finally decided to get warm we were invited down to a lake house with Shelby's uncle Joe and roomates. Here are some pics Shelby's first time in water outside of the bath.
She was a little distracted by the water. Hence the reason she isnt looking at the camera in any pics. She was great until she got dunkey by her dad...the first picture.

We started Shelby on rice cereal around 4 1/2 months. I was hesitant to do it because you are supposed to wait until 6 months if you can. However we have a big hungry baby. She has more than doubled her birth weight and was ready for food. She tries to grab ours constantly. Here are some pictures. Thank you Tori for the adorable bib.

I recently purchased a wonderful new lens. An old OM-1 manual focus 50mm f1.8. It is amazing for all of you who like photography. I highly recommend it. Of course it is taking a long time to learn to use a manually focusing fixed lens. Here are some shots. Good thing Shelby is a willing subject.
Uncle Joe came up from Boston this weekend. The weather in Boston has been as bad as the weather in New Hampshire so we enjoyed some wonderful time in the sun. Of course when you havent seen the sun in 3 weeks things can become a little loopy...like the pics show.
Jill came all the way from Oregon to visit. Shelby was a little grouchy initially when they met but became the happy baby we love. We miss you Jill!
Stats: 15 pounds, 12 ounces 87%
26.5inches
Grabbing everything, able to sit on her own (for about 45 seconds),laughing at her parents and dogs.
