Mary went to the doctor for her 6 month check-up last week. She weighed in at 14 lbs., 9 oz., 25 1/4 in. long. She is now in the 10th percentile, which is a definite improvement. Hayden at the same age was 15 lbs. and 25 1/2 in. long. I thought that Mary was longer, but not quite. Imagine how long Mary would have been if she was full term. Dr. Collins officially took Mary out of preemie status and we are now starting baby food. Wish is luck, I am trying peaches tonight.
Jason and I have been working like crazy. I can't complain about being busy with so many people out of work. Jason's family came to visit over Valentine's weekend. we had a great time getting to see everyone. I promise to put up pictures soon and to be a much better blogger.

Six Months Old
I can hardly believe it, but Mary turned six months old today, It seems like just yesterday that I was shopping the dollar bins at Target. She is growing and discovering more and more each day, She has mastered turning over. She is actually more adept at turning over from back to front than from her belly to her back, which is unusual. She loves playing in her saucer and has discovered that it has a mirror. She is definitely like her sister. Hayden always loved to look at herself in the mirror. Who am I kidding? Hayden still loves to look at herself in the mirror. 
We went to Memphis over the weekend to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of one of my best friends, Shanda and her fiance, Dave, We had a great time at their couples' shower. We drove down with Sarah and Justin and spent the night at Jason's dad and step-mom's house. The girls stayed with my parents and I missed them terribly. It was so beautiful when we returned on Sunday that we took the girls for a walk and Hayden played at the neighborhood playground. It was a great day!!
Hayden has been playing dress up with her new princess dresses. Jason's grandparents started her collection with a new dress and six pairs of princess slippers. She kept wanting me to tke pictures of her feet. She is so funny.
Mary is definitely my child as she has learned a new trick. She is a full fledged thumb sucker, We are trying hard to break her of this new bad habit, but every time we give her a pacifier, she immediately takes it out of her mouth and replaces it with her thumb. It took me until I was 6 years old to stop.
