6 months....Look alike?

Lindsie's 6 month stats:
17 lbs. 10 oz.....80% (Whitney at 6 months 17 lbs. 3.5 oz)
27 inches.....90% (Whitney was the exact same length!)
16 and 3/4 for head size...50%

The doctor says she is doing really well and we are so grateful! She is rolling over, sitting up with little assistance and has great fine motor skills for her age. She can now start eating mashed up table foods like bananas, peas, etc. as well as the little Gerber snacks. Yeah!

So, everyone asks me if Whitney and Lindsie look alike as babies. Well, you decide...can you tell who's who? Post a comment and leave your guesses! :)

Remembering a dear friend...

A year ago today on 05-06-07 my good friend Lamont passed away after a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. He was my boss, teacher, doctor, counselor, example, friend and so much more. I miss his funny sense of humor and his wealth of knowledge about everything! Some of my favorite memories of Lamont include our trip to Jackson Hole and riding the river, boating at Echo Lake, the day he changed my life and corrected my vision with Lasik (for free!!), "happy lunch club" (when I worked at MVEC and years after I had quit), our interactions at the office and assisting him in his care to patients, and the heartfelt advice and conversations we had throughout the years that have made me the person I am today!

Debbie did an amazing job on this. I've never seen anything like it! I love the wording at the top..."Healed Eyes, Taught others to see". He was a talented eye surgeon and a true follower of Christ. He is missed by many and has taught us all to "see".

She did it!!!!!

Yeah! She did it...Whitney learned to ride her bike without training wheels! She is so excited! It's been a week since this video and today she's all over the circle. Up and down the driveways and hills and doing great! I am so proud of you Whitney! You're growing up so fast...

Moab

Chris had to attend a Dermatology Conference for work in Moab, so the girls and I decided to tag along. We stayed up the canyon at a really cool lodge resort that was right on the river. It was so beautiful. After Chris was done working at the conference on Friday afternoon we drove into Arches and went hiking with the Larsen family. (Nate is one of Chris' reps here in SLC) Whitney loved hanging out with their kids and the two girls just chatted it up most of the way to Delicate Arch. Although Whitney and I both thought we might never make it, we did finally reach the arch and it was amazing! Whitney's classic comment when we saw it was..."If this arch is so special, why didn't they put it closer to the road?" Needless to say, she felt like the hike was pretty hard, but we were proud of her...it was 3 miles round trip and definitely not an easy terrain. Now that it's over, she says she loved it and would do it again. Lindsie was a trooper...Chris carried her the whole way and she barely made a peep. Amazing!!After Delicate Arch we drove to Broken Arch where there was tonz of sand and a shady area for the kids to play. This was Whitney's fav!! She even brought home a water bottle full of sand as a souvineer.
Thanks to the Larsen's for letting us join them for hiking and all the fun!!

Whitney and Devyn talking as they hike.
I loved walking behind them just to be able
to hear what they were talking about. They were so funny!

Happy Baby!!

Proud to show off bottles of sand...Go Figure?
