My baby is SO FAT.

This is as close as I'll come to posting the pics we took of Annie's adorable, dimpled backside. She is happily awaiting her bath -- after happily overfilling her diaper. :)

Wide-mouthed frog. Remember what I said about her opening her mouth REALLY wide?

Also, getting the hair wet is the only way to avoid the redhead 'fro that is her hairstyle of choice. I keep thinking her hair will get long and heavy enough that it'll lay down on its own. But no. The spikes just get taller..... This isn't the most flattering of pictures, but it gives you an idea of the hair issues we're dealing with, here.

Teeth. Annie has two evil little chompers that are now the bane of my existence. She is determined to remove parts of my anatomy that are key to her nourishment (AHEM), not to mention scraping off my fingerprints as she gnaws on my fingers.

Annie's teeth have emboldened her to try the brave new world of solid food, progressing immediately to rabbit food.

Rice cereal's for sissies.

We've also progressed to the big-girl stroller and reversible toddler carseat, since she's too darn big for the infant one now. This girl loves walks to the duck pond on random sunny afternoons.

Don't you love my hat?
Aunt Rachel found it at H&M. *sigh* How I wish Portland had one....

I have nothing more to say.

See?

The end.

P.S. Except for her 6 month vital stats, for those of you who're interested:

26" long (85%), 18lb. 11oz. (90%)
