Dear Eleanor,
Last week you went to your first MN State Fair, the Great MN Get-together! It is a tradition for mommy & daddy to go to the fabuolus state fair every year and pig out. There is so much great fried food & anything you could ever want on a stick. We went with Auntie Megan and spent the afternoon wandering around the fair. We were able to see the parade that goes through the fairgrounds each afternoon as well as check out the Little Hands Farm area. You are still too little to really enjoy it, but you sure looked cute sitting on the mini tractor!
You turned 6 months just a couple of days ago. 6 months! I can hardly believe it. You've gotten so big. Today was your 6 month check-up and you had those dreaded vaccinations again. You did not like them one bit & i'm sad to say, we have to go back for more in about a month. Today at your appointment you weighed 15.9 lbs & were 26 inches long. Growing very well!
You've been able to sit-up with some support from the Boppy pillow for a couple of weeks now. You can sit on the floor once propped & play with your toys for awhile until you decide to reach too far and end up on your tummy. Then there's no stopping the rolling. You've become an excellent roller & it is your main mode of locomotion.
It is time to start adding a second solid meal to your days & this week will be our first ECFE class. Next week will be your first swimming lesson. You have the cutest swim suit. I can't wait!
Love,
Mommy
