quick update -- 6 months, 1 week

hey everyone.

so sorry we've been away from updating the blog. it's been a rough few weeks. anna jae is teething, and with her, it's a bitch. she's obviously very uncomfortable, and probably in a lot of pain, and she's showing it. her sleep patterns are a wreck, she's in a terrible mood, and she always wants to be held (but she won't sleep in your arms, so that's just problematic). she's still great when out with people or in group settings, but when she's at home alone with me, it's awful. i've been having a hard time working or sleeping, my neck and head are worse than before, and i've just been a bit beaten up.

that being said, when she has a good night's sleep and isn't in so much pain, she's her usual wonderful self with me. this morning was one of those mornings. she's even been down for over 2 hours now for her morning nap. sometimes life is good. =)

just a few updates: anna had her 6 month appt. last week. she's only 15lbs, 1oz. but she is 26.5 inches long!! she started on solids -- loves rice cereal, hates peas, and is sort of undecided on carrots. =) she is now watching sesame street and loves it (great distraction when she's pissy), and for some reason also loves dr. phil. i think he looks like a muppet. ha! her hair is starting to grow in more, which is great. and she's still miss social butterfly, so being out and about meeting new people is certainly her thing.

we will see grandma earlier today (i have a nutritionist appt., so anna is going to hang out at grandma and grandpa's house), and then nana will be over for some playtime and dinner later this afternoon. this weekend is aunt pearl's 94th bday party, and we will see the whole block/katz family then, even those that have yet to meet anna jae. so that will be lots of fun!

okee dokee. i'm outta here. gotta go grab the girl. =)
