Wow. Jessica is 6 months old now! Craziness. She rolls all over the place, she makes the cutest sounds and she even sleeps through the night! I started her on a routine. 7:00 I give her some cereal, give her a bath and rub her down with lotion, and then I get her in pajamas, wrap her up like a burrito, and then nurse her, and she (generally) falls right to sleep around 7:30. The mornings aren't so exact for us. Sometimes she'll wake up at 4:00 to eat, and stay awake. Most of the time if she's up before 6:00 to eat, she'll fall right back asleep. That is, if I wrap her back up before feeding her. Today has been fantastic. She didn't wake up once until 5:45, which meant that I got almost 8 hours of sleep. Then, after she ate, she fell right back asleep without any mutters even, and it is now 7:30, and she is just starting to stir.
So, we got her 6 month portraits taken on Tuesday, and I have to say, she is far too cute for my wallet. It was extremely difficult to not buy every single picture. But I got the digital copies (not the copyright) so I can at least put some of them up on here. However, it was too difficult to decide which ones to post, so here is a collage.
So stinkin' adorable!
Unfortunately that wasn't the only thing that happened on Tuesday.
Tuesday evening, as I was getting ready for a bridal shower that I was going to, Nathaniel and I heard Jessica start coughing and gasping, as if she were choking on something. She's done that before on spit, like most of us have, so we weren't too worried, just picked her up and patted her back a bit, but she kept doing it. We couldn't figure out what was going on, and we were getting really worried. Nathaniel had her in his lap while he was in his computer chair, and I was sitting on the floor, and I happened to look in her mouth and noticed something white in the back, up by her uvula. I figured she had found a string, and it got stuck, so I wasn't too upset, just figured we needed to get it out. I got a flashlight so that I could see it better, and found it wasn't a string. It was a piece of shrink-wrap. We had watched a 'new' movie (one we hadn't opened yet) the other day, and apparently not all of the pieces of shrink-wrap got picked up, and unfortunately she was the one to find it. My nails were a bit long, so Nathaniel had to try to get the plastic out of her mouth. It took a few tries, but we got it, and she is perfectly alright now, but that was definitely a major scare. It was getting to the point where I was thinking I might be heading to the ER rather than the bridal shower. So yeah, being extra careful with shrink-wrap from now on.
