Catching Up in Pictures, Part 2

A few more pictures to catch up on the past month...
Granna (Brian's Mom) came to visit the weekend after Easter and we took an overnight trip to Charleston.  See my post HERE about that.  Banks also had her 6 month well check that week - see her report HERE.  Granna really helped me out by getting my front porch and flower beds looking great.  Banks really enjoys being on the front porch and seems to nap really good when we are out there.

On Miss B's 6 month birthday we went to the beach to enjoy the sunshine.  She was in true diva mode!

6 months old!

Wheeeeeee!!!!

I celebrated my first Mothers Day and it was perfect.  We went out for breakfast at my favorite place, Sweet and Savory.  Then we went to Home Depot so I could get some new accent lights for the flower beds.  And later that afternoon we took Banks for a nice long walk at The Loop.

Our weather has been great on the weekends and we have been to the beach a couple times.  Banks seems to love it...just like her parents!

We had our monthly photo shoot a little late this time, but here are a few pics.  Banks is sitting up now, as you can see!

Here are some pictures to catch everyone up on the past month...
We had a great visit with both of our families over Easter weekend.  It was quite the event since my nephew, Hudson, was also christened on Easter Sunday.  I have the honor of being his Godmother.  Its so hard to believe that Banks and Hudson are only 24 hours apart...he's so much bigger than her!

We spent Saturday over in Greenville with Brian's family.  Everyone was so excited to see Miss B!

Of course the Easter Bunny came to visit...

Hudson's christening was on Easter Sunday...such a special day for everyone.  My Mom and I went shopping and got Banks the perfect Easter outfit.  The church service was great...Hudson was such a little man.  Banks got hungry during the service, so Brian made a quick exit and fed her while I stayed for the christening.  Afterwards, everyone came over to my parents house for Easter lunch. 

Gotta love her!

what's happening

This has been a big week for Miss B...

She spent her first night away from Mommy - see previous post.
She turned 6 months old this past Sunday (I need to upload the pics)
She has mastered rolling to her tummy and does it all the time - even in her crib.
She is sitting up more - especially in the bath tub, on my lap, and on the changing table.
She had her first taste of cereal.
She had her 6 month well check today!

Today Banks had her 6 month well check and third round of vaccines.  I always dread the shots but look forward to seeing how much she has grown!  She is doing fantastic!  She weighed in at 14 lbs 10oz...has grown to 26 inches...and her head circumference is 42 3/4 cm.  She is now in the 50th percentile for height and head circumference, but still in the 25th percentile for weight.  Such a dainty girl!  But for such a dainty girl, she handled her shots amazingly well!  She had 3 total - didn't even whimper at the first one, but did start screaming when the second one went in and cried for about 10-15 seconds after the third one.  Then she was back to her smiling, sweet self.  She was a little needy and tired this afternoon, but I expected that.  She is such a trooper!
