Happy 1/2 Birthday!!!

We can't believe that Miss Journee is 6 months old today! We are not quite sure where the time has gone.
A quick little recap of some of her accomplishments lately...She now has 2 bottom teeth and actually the 2nd one popped up shortly after the first one did. She has been doing really well with eating her solids. We've discovered that Journee really likes pears, squash, and sweet potatoes, but she does not like avocado, peas, or carrots!
She also is crying much less now (which mom and dad are SOOOOOOO happy about!!!) and seems significantly more content these days.
One of her biggest accomplishments actually happened this morning.... She "officially" rolled over for the first time! I say "officially" because she actually has rolled over a few times, beginning a couple weeks ago for her sitter, but since this is the first time I've seen it, we are going to count this as her first time! :) I suppose now that she is a big girl at 6 months old, she felt it was time to show off!
At her 6 month check up, she was 14 lbs, 6 oz!
It's difficult to believe that in 6 months from today, we'll be celebrating our baby girl's 1st birthday... but for now we'll focus on the present and enjoy everything about her!

We went to visit Santa on her 1/2 birthday

We snuck this shot on our cell phone. Journee was all smiles for Santa!

Big Girl

Our little girl is growing up....Not only did she get her first tooth this past week but we also decided it was time for her to move out of our room and into her crib. That was a tough decision that we've been putting off for weeks and weeks. We'd grown so accustomed to her being right there beside us in her little rocker that it became difficult for us to even fathom the idea of her "moving out". She actually did very well her first night and only got us up once and went right back to sleep.
In addition, we took Journee in for her weight and height check and she is now a whopping 13 lbs, 6 oz and 24 3/4 inches long!

Journee got her first tooth on November 8th

Tried to get a picture of her tooth, which came in on the bottom, but it was nearly impossible so this was the best I could capture

Journee's first night in her crib... she woke up very happy!

First Halloween

When we were out shopping one day, we saw a USC cheerleader outfit and decided that would make the perfect 1st Halloween costume for Miss Journee Rose, since her daddy is a USC football fan. We spent the Saturday before Halloween at our friend's house. Journee wasn't quite big enough to carve her own pumpkin but she hung out in the exersaucer and watched all the festivities.
For Journee's 1st Halloween, we went out for a sushi dinner.... no trick or treating this year but I'm sure that's something to look forward to next year!

She still looks like a lil' peanut in her daddy's arms

She even has the #1 sign down!
