6 months

Today was Sumaya's 6 month appointment. She is 20.6lbs and 27.5in long. She is very healthy and up-to-date on all her shots - including the flu shot.

 we tried on her snow suit that, sadly, will not fit her by the time the snow actually comes. i loved it and bought it before she was born. little did i know she would be wearing 18mo clothes by the time she was just 6mo old.

 we have fun on laundry day. we go down the hall to wash our clothes and she rides in the basket, on the warm clothes, on the way back.

 love my tunes.

 if you put me on my back i will roll over to my stomach. i also like to stand - can't quite do it on my own, but my legs are getting stronger every day!

 WHAT'S GOING ON HERE??

 my daddy puts me in the bumbo seat, sprays water on my hair, combs then brushes it...then mom puts this silly bow in my hair.

 our friend Marilou calls this picture 'toy central'.

Emad and I are having a lot of fun with Sumaya. She has quite a voice and "talks" a lot these days. She loves to roll from her back to her stomach and will roll and roll and roll all over the apartment. She's very strong and getting good at standing while holding on to something. We have a cute Halloween costume. She'll be a very cute 'lady'. We will also be moving at that time. Not certain where yet - although down the hall is a possibility. Will update everyone on our new address once we know. It will be nice for Sumaya to have her own room. We will be looking for a new bed and dresser for her too. xo
P.S. Our lease is up at the end of October. I've looked at a couple places and don't really like them. Last night we looked at a place not far from where we are now...just down the hall - and liked it! It's a large 2bd apartment with more closet space than we'll know what to do with. So, I'm pretty sure this is where we'll end up - and what a relief to not have to rent a moving truck and find people to help! We'd be able to start moving in the third week in October. If this all work out, our new address will just be a new apartment number...#110. Will keep you updated.
