Thanks to my good little eater who doesn't turn away any fruit or vegetable she has jumped from the 15th percentile to the 50th.
I know what you are thinking...she is SO cute you just want to lick the leftover pears right off her face! Me too!
Another thing I want to document is that at 6 months Summer is a squirmy little worm. Changing her diaper these days is like roping a calf.
First, you have to convince her to remove her toes from her mouth so you can velcro the diaper strap then you have to lift the velcro like lightening or she will stiffen up her body, arch her back and begin to roll sideways...by that time she has stretched just enough so that the diaper is touching the back of her neck and barely covering in the front. It is at that moment that I think "I am going to have to blog about this."
Well that is about it for today. I have completed 5 of my 10 tasks from LAST week's to do list...and no they do not include unpacking or decorating for Christmas, wah wah Debbie Downer.
Kiersten baking the sweet treats!
Grandad making sure that Summer is happy and content.
Summer woke up halfway through our meal. I knew there was a reason I was speed eating.
Summer is to the age where she wants a bite of whatever I am eating...not this Thanksgiving. Summer enjoyed oatmeal with sweet potatoes, yum!
Although Summer came down with her first cold this week, oh the hoarse cry was heartbreaking, I am thankful for her great health.
I am thankful that God blessed me with overflowing love for my daughter! We are going to have so much fun in our lifetime. 
I am thankful for my husband who works hard to provide for our family and to keep us safe and secure!
I am thankful for my vivacious sister in law who is the life of the party!
I am thankful for the love and support that the Martins give to Chad, Summer and myself...and that Buddy didn't eat Summer (just kidding Buddy is a perfect dog).
It was a great party with lots of her friends. I had one of those cakes made that has an edible picture on it. Lucky me they accidently made 2 and so I got an extra one for free as they obviously can't sell a cake with another person's face on it. Turns out I needed it! I was rushing to unload the decorations from my car when Lucy saw a car door open and decided she wanted to go for a ride...you can see where this is headed. That's right she jumped up into the car and landed on one of the cakes in the passenger seat. What a blessing I had a replica in the backseat, amazing. 
Grandad and Summer
Preston and Kim (by the way good luck on your 1/2 marathon on Thanksgiving) supervise the 2 cousins meeting. Summer is all smiles but Brooke isn't so sure about this baby.
My Aunt Bethany gave mommy and me lessons from Paul Mitchell a few weeks ago...flashback!
Hey Big Cuz Brooke, I hope when I am 3 I will have long pretty hair like yours!
I knew Summer had big cheeks but WOW they look like chipmunks in this picture!
I also have some other birthday shout outs!
In the past 2 weeks of transition, Summer has also gone from eating plain rice cereal to now eating oatmeal with peaches, applesauce, bananas, pears, avocado, green beans and sweet potatoes. The girl has not turned her nose up at any of these foods. I thought there was a chance she might not like the green beans but then I realized that I ate green beans at least 4 days a week while I was pregnant so it is no wonder she ate the entire jar (even plain, not mixed in with the oatmeal). She now opens her mouth for each bite and likes to eat fast. If I don't scoop it in her mouth fast enough she WILL put her index finger in there instead.
