Mary after her Dr appointment


Monday Mary had her 6-month wellness check.  Her height is 26.38 inches (72%), weight is 16 lbs—1.6 oz. (51%), her head is 16.93 in. (73%).  She got her next round of vaccines and cried at the doctor's office but once we left she fell asleep and was happy the rest of the day.  

Happy Birthday to Jessa on Thursday!  
I have been having Mary nap in her own room this week and she was doing so well that I had her sleep there overnight on Thursday night and she did great!  She's been in there for all her naps and sleeping overnight since.
Saturday we got together with Matt, Hannah, and Addie and we went to the Austin Public Library.  It was a really cool library and we got a great view of the city.  Afterward, we checked out the botanical gardens and we got lucky because admission was free that day.  We then checked out bat bridge, where all these bats live and they leave at about 8 pm to go hunt.  It was really cool to see so many bats leave at the same time.
Sunday I got my ministering assignment and we had a family in the ward invite us over for dinner.  We had a great time and they have a one-year-old that Mary enjoyed playing with.  Before we went to dinner, Mary rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time!  She is getting more mobile and coordinated with grabbing toys and she is scooting around quite a bit too. 


Mary favoring her left hand
I've been giving Mary more baby food this week and she loves to take the spoon from me and bring it to her mouth herself.  She favors her left hand when she does this, so we might have a lefty!

Minnie Mouse for Halloween   We didn't really do anything for Halloween because Mary is too little for trick or treating but we did watch a Halloween movie when Paul got home from work and we dressed Mary up as Minnie Mouse for the day.  Helping with the dishes Happy birthday to Rachel on Wednesday. Paul went on a work trip to Colorado all day on Friday.  I dropped him off at the airport at 6 am then Mary and I went home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.  It was a rainy, hot, and muggy day but we weren't going to let that keep us at home.  We went to the local library and another mom in the ward came with her 3-year-old and 5-month-old.  We hung out there for probably an hour and a half.  Then Mary and I went to grab some fun groceries for the weekend.  I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she wasn't having it, so I put her back in the car and we drove to the other side of Austin and did an easy nature hike up to the Mount Bonnell look...

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center....

10 Months   Happy birthday to Hannah on Tuesday.  I was able to vote and then Mary and I went to the library and had a play date with another family in the ward.  Mary turned 10 months on Thursday!  We went to the playground and she absolutely loved the slide.  Friday Addie came over for a play date.  We watched Toy Story, played with Mary's toys and books, and made pumpkin cookies.  I got a cute picture of the girls wearing aprons.  Happy birthday to Grandpa Sam on Saturday.  We went to a little Christmas Market on Saturday morning and it got us in the Christmas shopping mood.  We went to the mall with Matt, Hannah, and Addie afterward.  We got the girls matching pajamas and took pictures with Mall Santa.  Mary was okay at first then got scared. We got our tickets to come to Utah for Christmas.  We can't wait to see everyone!
