Happy Half Birthday

Isha turned six months old on Sunday the 8th of July. She wore her adorable red dress from her Aunt Tony. I know I have said it a million times, but I can't believe how fast the last six months have gone. Isha has changed so much. Everyday there is something new that she has discovered or accomplished. We had a half birthday party for Isha. Uncle Adam and Aunt Laura came over for some BBQ ribs. We ate so many ribs that we were practically oinking by time we were done with dinner. I also made a cherry chip cake for Isha. That was my favorite cake when I was a little kid. It is sickeningly sweet and obnoxiously pink. I felt guilty that we ate it after Isha went to bed, but it's not like she could eat it anyways. Adam and Laura brought a gift for Isha. They gave her this great new toy that she loves to rattle and chew on. They also brought her a four course meal of baby food. Isha went to the doctor on Tuesday for her six month check up. She weighed in at 13 lbs and 9oz. That was only a nine ounce gain in two month. I guess she spent the last two months growing taller instead of heavier. She grew two inches. She is now 25 and 1/2 inches. I was a little upset about the weight gain, but the pediatrician was not concerned. He said that just means that she is ready to start on solid food.
