Bea's 1/2 Year Birthday!

 

It's hard for us to believe that on February 1st, Bea hit the 6-month mark. True to the Gentnull/Mulltner style, we had to celebrate with CAKE!!! Since we didn't have time to make a rice cereal and pureed pea and carrot cake, we went with the Deathcake Royale cupcake (a light, little cupcake made with chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate). As much as Bea wanted to eat her cupcake, we didn't think it would be such a great idea so we reluctantly ate it for her. Instead, she enjoyed chewing on the candle (we're kidding!).

Of course, what follows any major baby age milestone is a trip to the doctor's office for lots of poking, probing, measuring and those o' so fun shots. The result of all those pokes and measurements:

• She's weighing in at 15 lbs, 13.5 oz and is 26 inches long.
• She doesn't have any teeth poking out yet.
• She's healthy.
• She can take shots like a champ...well, a lightweight champ who cries really loud, but not for too long.

The last six months with Bea have been overwhelming and exhausting, yet utterly amazing and wonderful. We're certainly looking forward to what the next six months will bring. She has her sight set on sitting up, crawling and walking, but we're really hoping the first thing on her agenda is sleeping through the night.
