I need to get a few things off my chest.
1.) I caught Jordan singing "girls just wanna have fun" to Magnolia last week. I might have had a tear roll down my cheek because it was so sweet.
2.) Magnolia is feeling much much better. The sleeping progress is slow going, but at this very moment she's been sleeping for 2 hours and 27 minutes... WOW. Probably a record in the nap department. It has vastly improved since I started putting her on her tummy to sleep. It's so scary, but worth it in order to retain my sanity.
3.) My brother and his family moved from Dallas to Oklahoma City. I miss them already and wish we would have hung out more! He's made some drastic changes in his life and is working for Feed the Children now! We are so proud of him and, quite frankly, a little jealous. We are itching to move somewhere! Anywhere! Preferably somewhere cold. The Tundra, for example.

Uncle Matt - the last visit in their Dallas house4.) Last week, Magnolia had her 6 month appointment.
Her statistics were as follows:
height - 25 inches - 28%
weight - 14lb 13oz - 25%
Head circumference - 42.5 - 52% (a.k.a. Frankenbaby) (lots of room for brains!)
Adorableness - 112%
The doctor said that she looks extremely healthy and although still a bit behind on her milestones due to her former preemie status - she is right where she is supposed to be and is getting stronger every day!
-Also in this appointment we've been given the go-ahead for REAL FOODS! And by real I mean soupy watery sweet potatoes. I've decided to make her food myself instead of buying the processed chemical foods. I hope to do it for as long as she needs me too. It's a bit time consuming but makes me feel like a good mommy.
-We started with avocados which from day to day can be either a.) delicious or b.) disgusting. Good thing the pugs will eat ANYTHING even watered down applesauced "guacamole". I got video of her first bites of avocado but that will be the next blog (because I have NO idea how the heck to put it on here).
I hope she likes sweet potatoes!
Avocados!
Uncle Todd finally has a picture on the blog (even though he's making this weird face)! Next up - Uncle Troy!
Matching outfits with big cousin Ava.
Grandma Cessie loves Magnolia!
Grandad and Grand mommy. Grandad must drug Magnolia or use voodoo or something because she can't stay awake in his arms.
Magnolia loves Aunt Heather.
So cute it hurts. 
Sweetness.

yummy sweet potatoes... she's adorable, but you already knew that! we need a pic of the girls together... that one on facebook of noli with olive made my stomach drop because i thought it was kai at first and i was like, when did she take a nap with noli in her crib???
Yea! Thanks for the update! I can't beleive she is 6 months! Hey! I will be in Oklahoma Sept 8-16! Where will you be!?
Making her foods. . . I tried that with Sophia for awhile. If you didn't already know, freeze the purees in ice cube trays. Once they are frozen empty it out into freezer bags. One or two cubes is the perfect serving and they thaw pretty quickly. I would take a couple out of the freezer about 30 minutes before time to eat and they would pretty much be thawed by then.
But you should also know that most jarred baby foods are just the vegetable or fruit and water. Just check the ingredients first.
those were not the sunglasses i was picturing... i was thinking of those ones that have the plastic all the way down... like shutters or blinds or something... ridiculous
