I actually started this post last year, for our 10th anniversary, and wasn't able to finish it in time. Pregnancy brain/hibernation and all, you know.

And there was much rejoicing (yay!). She had her six-month checkup yesterday and it went really well (despite the two shots). Her doctor reassured me that we had dodged a bullet --

Dear Coraline: Month 6

Published on 2011-03-23 00:01:00

Dear Coraline, As of 1AM this morning, you turned six months old. I can't believe you're already half a year old (and yes, I'm already thinking about your first birthday party). You weigh about 16 pounds and fit well in clothes sized six months, although there are some three month outfits you can still wear.

My Happy for the Day: Bathtime Fun

Published on 2011-03-18 09:00:00

I saw this on the Ellen show the other day, and it makes me laugh every time I watch it. This is a good indicator of the kind of thing we can't wait to experience when Coraline's a bit older: bathtime and giggles. Of course, with a dog like Troubadour, she very well may end up sharing the tub if she taunts him with toys. I dare you to watch this and not laugh. I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
