The Half Birthday

There are some big things happening around here while Eliza is turning 6 months. She is sitting in her high chair for the first time.

Eating food (avocado) for the first time and really enjoying what little she was able to get in her mouth. 

And being transferred to the pack-n-play in our room from the rock-n-play without being swaddled. This is leading up to the soon transfer to her crib in her own room. 

At her 6 month check-up today we discovered Eliza has gained 3 lbs in two months, now weighing 15 lbs 2 oz and in the 35th percentile. She is still long in the 85th percentile with a length of 26.75".

Celebrating the Fourth in the Great Pacific NW

We went to our annual Fourth of July party at Jeana's house on Lake Sammamish. Z headed straight for the kiddie pool on the deck

while Eliza and Daddy hung out. 

But it didn't take Z long in the pool before she was swimming in the lake with Uncle Andrew. 

And more swimming with Uncle Wes. 

Before we left we attempted a family photo. 

I would say it was a successful Fourth of July.
