Cute baby

This last week Rob started his last semester as an undergraduate student. He is very excited to be done with this stage, and move onto the next stage...dental school! It has been hard to get back into the swing of things after having such a long, relaxing, and family-filled break between semesters.
Since we've gotten back home, Rob and Brielle put together our new entertainment center. She was a lot of help... but had fun doing it. It looks a lot better in our apartment.

Rob and Brielle were also having way too much fun eating some cake. Brielle has started seeming very interested in all of our food and gives us the cutest little look, watching us whenever we eat, so we cave and give her little bites. She's so fun!

She also, in the last several days, has found her toes. She especially loves to play with them when we're changing her diaper.

She loves bath time. This was her first time taking a bath in the tub. She usually has them in her own little tub in the sink, but she's getting too big for it!

Doesn't she have the cutest little toes??

Her Grandma Kolts made her these adorable socks and she has started playing with them whenever she wears them. We have already put in a request for more!

We just bought her a new high chair last week, which is so much nicer than having her sit on our laps while we feed her. Now she has her own little throne that she can sit in. And, under very close supervision, she has started eating some finger foods, the baby biter biscuits. She loves them! Well, at least the amount that got into her mouth. Most of it got all over her face, fingers, and even some in her hair.

And last week she had her 6 month check-up. She weighed 15lb 10 oz and was 26 inches long. So when she was just a month or two old, she was short and stubby, now she's tall and skinny. It's so fun watching her grow! I love being a mom!!
While visiting with her pediatrician he did say that he was concerned about the fact that she's not rolling over (which is true, she has done it, but not for at least a couple months. But she did roll over today while having tummy time!!), combined with the fact that her head is flat on one side, he referred us to a physical therapist. We went to the appointment and they said that Brielle has a very mild case of Torticollis, which is something to do with the neck muscles. One side of her neck muscles is stronger than the other side, making her head tilt a little bit. The physical therapist said that the torticollis is most likely the reason that Brielle has not rolled over because it's too hard for her to turn her head. Anyway, it's a mild case, and they said that some simple physical therapy sessions could fix it. They also said that we might want to get her a cranio cap, to help her head go back to the right shape. We're not 100% sure what we're going to do about that, we'll probably go ahead with it since it will cause her no pain, and it will really fix her head shape. Anyway, other than that, Brielle is a beautiful, healthy baby, and we love her tons! Both her pediatrician and the physical therapist were impressed by how well she sits up by herself, and that she is very close to getting up on her knees while having tummy time, go Brielle! Maybe she just wants to skip the rolling over step, which is fine with me!
