So tired after the weekend

I'm not the only tired one apparently, despite sleeping from 9pm to 7am last night Lucia suddenly got very tired this morning. Among our bags from our weekend in Tahoe she had too much to explore.

Puncture - again!

This is the second puncture on the Prius. The first one happened because we drove over a screw (phillps head) but this one is more of a mystery.

Six Months Old!!

We celebrated Lucia's 6-month birthday today with new clothes from Carter's, and a very welcome gift of TWO pack-n-plays from a friend with a 2-year-old who had outgrown them. Sweeeeet. She's on the border of sizes, but with her long legs her pants were looking ridiculous, so we got her some new ones, and I tried not to cringe at the ruffles on them. Gawd. We found some cute things otherwise, though I had to talk Pete out of a gray hoodie with a pickup truck on it -- FOR LUCIA. He's obsessed with HIS gray hoodie and is projecting his love of his onto her; I swear, I come home and she's dressed in her hoodie (size 3 mos) at least 3 days a week. Pete just laughs and says, it's warm. Right dude. So now we obviously have to find her a 6-mo sized gray hoodie.

Little Miss is sleeping through the night now, generally from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m., when I nudge Pete to get up and he puts her pacifier back in her mouth. She generally sleeps then for 1-2 more hours, and some days if we get lucky, I get up and spend time with her before work, and she conks right back out after eating, which Pete loves because he gets to sleep a few more hours. I like it too, because it's our special quiet time in the morning for me and Lucia to spend. Other days she's zonked, and then inconveniently wants to get up when she hears me getting up. Those are the rougher mornings; this morning I was calculating what the absolute minimum time I needed to get ready so that I could feed her and not have to wake up Pete. Some days are better than others, as the saying goes.

We're going to Lake Tahoe this weekend; a friend has a few homes up there and invited us. We figured we might not be in the Bay Area for forever, so we should take our chances when we get them. We're bringing Mrs. B with us as well, so it'll be a real party. We're hoping to hike and see the sights; no skiing for us.

At the Pediatrician

We went for the six month checkup today, she was her very wiggliest today, of course. She also decided to cry when the doctor held her.
And the latest numbers are in too:
Height: 664 mm / 26,14 inches
Weight: 7060 gr / 15lbs 9 ounces

One More

Little tongue

She Found Her Tongue

Lucia found her tongue today, and by that I mean she discovered how to stick it out. Pete said it happened this morning. She seemed pretty excited about it (pictures to come tomorrow) and when I stuck my tongue back out at her, she gave me the strangest look, like what are you doing Mommy?

Third feeding

Next morning we tried again, first gave her a few ounces of milk to take the edge of her hunger and tried this time with a mix of mashed sweet potatoes and warm water.
She seemed to like the potatoes at bit better but only until the videotape ran out and she puked like an undergrad.

This can get interesting...

Here is the video of the very first feeding. She does not know what to think of it except she hates it!
