My First Guinness

Huge St. Patrick's Day storm rolled in leaving us with about a foot of snow - made for a good excuse to lay low, watch basketball and introduce Evening to Guinness.

She has been so sweet the last few weeks. Really loving getting outside and hiking - and is now quite the bathing beauty. Still wrestling with the teeth - she's got two monster buds on the bottom right now. She also is experimenting with some ridiculous feats of strength. I'm amazed at what she can do - especially with her legs - certainly putting her father in place.

Evie Exceeding

Yet another great week from the little lady. She had her 6 month pediatrician visit last week and all looks well. She's weighing over 16 and a half pounds and 26.5" long. That puts her in the 90%-tile for height and 75%-tile for weight. I also called our pediatrician's attention to the fact that she has a tooth coming in - his reply "Oh yes - I see the teeth (as in multiple)." The appointment culminated with about 35 shots - some vaccinations for ailments I thought were last around at the time of Merriweather Lewis.

She's just generally really sweet and sassy - and still can't get enough of being outside. She's been loving the snow and getting acquainted with the stroller. She (and I) are really excited for the spring hiking season in Central NY.

Coming up on the 1/2 year birthday on Thursday - I was thinking about renting out the skate rink, booking a REO Speedwagon Cover Band, invite 2,000 of our closest friends and have a hybrid limo pick her up - but instead think I'll wait perhaps until she's 1 - when she can really appreciate it.
