Remi & We

Big for 6 months?

When we take Remi out people are constantly surprised when they discover she is only 6 months old. Is she really big for her age? Compared to other babies we see she seems about normal…I do think her legs are pretty long though.

6 Months old!

Remi is now 6 months old!

She is sitting up on her own, eating sold food (when we have time), playing peek-a-boo, and fascinated by the cats.  Oh, and she has her first two teeth!

Still no crawling.  She “swims” in place a lot but hasn’t quite figured out how to put that into forward momentum.  She has become a master of pulling things she wants toward her.

Solid Food!

Couch potato Remi

Remi is hooked on her first TV show: HBO’s Classical Baby series.

She has noticed TV for brief moments but nothing has quite captivated her like this.  She will sit in her Boppy and watch Classical Baby for a full 30 minutes.  I’m not quite sure what she sees but she cannot tear her eyes away from the show.

It’s all short vignettes (2-5 minutes each) of classical music playing to animated versions of famous works of art. Full credit is given to the composer and artist (for mommy & daddy, presumably).  I can’t wait for the next episode to find out if that two-timing Kandinsky is finally going to fall for Tchaikovsky or that egotistical hussy Wagner.

Sleeping through the night?

It appears Remi is about to take another big developmental step.  She has flirted with sleeping through the night for each of the last 4 nights.  We don’t quite count any of these recent sleeping performances as “full night” because she either went to bed at 1:AM or she had to wake up once during the night.  Still, the times she has woken up hungry have been much shorter and only waking once instead of 3 times is a major improvement.

Memorial Day Pics

A few shots of Remi’s first Memorial Day.  We waited until the sun was less intense and went to play in the back yard.

Remi Swings!

Remi really likes the swing her aunt Abbie gave her!

Separated at birth? (no…)

Click the picture above for a comparison between Remi (at 2 weeks) and Camp (at birth).  The angles aren’t 100% right but we think there may be some relation.

Here are a few new pics of Rem-rem:

thumbsucker

Anna noticed it a couple days ago but now we have photographic proof: Remi is a thumbsucker!

Just like her daddy used to be.  Ahh…I’m so proud.
