A Baptism, Halloween, Solids, First Cold & Two Teeth!

I can't believe it's already November and Rose will be 6 months old in just a few days. The last couple weeks have flown by. A lot has been happening keeping us pretty busy. We introduced Rose to solid food last weekend. We started with homemade puree of carrots and then sweet potatoes. This week we will try squash. It was one of the funniest things ever. She made some faces never seen before and didn't know what to think of that stuff we were trying to get in that little mouth. Hopefully she'll get the hang of it and start to enjoy it a little more.

What is this stuff?!

After drooling and putting everything in her mouth for the last several months, her two bottom teeth cut through! Rose officially has a couple of chompers. She was a trooper and didn't get a fever but was a little fussier than normal. We're on the lookout for more which will be coming soon.

We also celebrated Rose's baptism with the family last Sunday. She was a very good girl, but was getting so tired at church since she missed her morning nap. Surprisingly, after fussing a bit throughout the long service, she was on her best behavior when it was show time with the minister. We really enjoyed having the family at our place afterwards. It was a good day.

Right after solids and then the baptism, Halloween was upon us. Rose was a sweet little strawberry this year. We didn't do any trick or treating but enjoyed her costume for some photo opps.

Happy Halloween

Why am I dressed like a strawberry

How can I eat this pumpkin?

I love my toys!

She started to get a little cough this past week and lost a bit of her appetite and was kind of fussy so we took her in to get checked. Rose has her first cold, but hopefully is on the mend. Mom and Dad have had a few short nights since that cough will wake her up. Poor thing :(

 Her official weigh in at 5.5 months was 17lb 6 oz and 26.5in long. She is getting so big and strong. She even started sitting up on her own this week. What an amazing transformation from our little newborn just a few months ago.
