Hallelujah!

She pooped!!

OMG, it was nasty.

Avoca-don't

Avocados are Eggy's enemy. She hasn't had a poop since last Friday. That wouldn't really bother me because some babies can go a week without pooping but I can tell she wants to poop. It's so sad to hear her grunting so hard. She turns all red too. Too bad because she seemed to be enjoying the avocado.

I've tried to give her water and diluted prune juice but she won't drink it. So I've been feeding her prunes. What a mess! She sticks her fingers in her mouth while she's eating, then rubs it all over her face and in her hair. Nice.

Surprise!

Umma, wake up! Eggy had three presents for me this morning.

First, I find her like this when I go to get her. What a weirdo.

And when I picked her up, I saw a piece of lint on her blanket. Nope, it was a booger. And it was big. Can you see it?

And the final surprise? Poop! So stinky! Don't worry, I didn't take a picture of that. (Why do I feel like half of my posts are about poop? lol)

sigh. Girl, it's a good thing I think you're cute because no one else will.

One day, I'm sure Eggy will return the favor and change my diaper when I'm old, right?

Eggy Couture

When I was pregnant with Eggy, we decided not to find out the gender. I wanted it to be a surprise. That was probably a good thing because I probably would have gone crazy buying all sorts of girly things had I known she was going to be a girl.

Eggy's eemo (my sister) made her a tutu. You can't really tell it's a tutu in the pictures; it just looks like some pink fluffy thing.

She made it a little too big though.

But that didn't stop her from trying to eat it.

Then, she decided she had enough.

Her Rainbow Brite leg warmers. They're actually a little tight because of her thunder thighs.

I call this her little orphan/bag lady/Mary-Kate Olsen look.

Umma and appah are broke and have no money to clothe you, Eggy. That's why you always see her in the same clothes or nekkid.

Wrestling

Eggy thinks she can be the next WWE superstar. Or maybe a UFC champion.

She almost lost though.

But then she cheated.

Easy there, Mike Tyson.

Happy 6 Months!

Weight: 16 lbs., 2.7 oz (~50th percentile)

Height: 27.5 inches (~95th percentile)

Head Circumference: 17 inches (~75th percentile)

Another 3 shots and an oral vaccine. Yeah, she wasn't too happy but her pediatrician says she's doing well. yay!

At the risk of jinxing it, Eggy's been sleeping a lot better. She even slept a solid 8 hours for a couple nights. I never thought that I could be happy waking up at 4:30am. But she's also had a few rough nights too, especially this past week. I'm really hoping it's temporary (maybe a growth spurt?) and she'll go back to sleeping well again.

Since we've started solids, Eggy's not pooping as much. This is both good and bad. Good, because we don't have to change her diaper as much. (In the early days she would poop all the time. Sometimes, she'd poop again right after we changed her.) Bad, because when she does finally poop, watch out! How can something so nasty come from something so cute? One time, I was washing her butt and I couldn't stop gagging while my mom kept laughing at me. Yeah, we have to wash her butt after a big dookie because wipes just wouldn't be enough.

Also, she's a lot more gassy and that stinks too!! She's a loud farter, like her daddy. Sometimes, I have to ask him if he farted but it's Eggy!

Her hair is starting to settle down now. It doesn't look like a flame so much anymore. And it's getting pretty long. It'll probably start getting into her eyes. I don't want to cut it though. I love her crajee hair with her highlights. Maybe I'll just tie it up instead.

Eggy's also been having some separation anxiety. It's kind of nice to know that she knows who we are and she trusts us but it can be tiring too. Sometimes, she won't even go to her dad. One time, Eggy woke up crying and Eggy appah went to pick her up. But she wouldn't stop crying until I held her. I think it hurt his feelings. hahaha. He says it's only because I have boobies. Whatever, you still got rejected. Moded!!

I can't believe my little baby is already half a year old. That means I have to start thinking about her dol (1st birthday)!

LA County Fair

Eggy appah and I have gone to the LA County fair every year since we started dating. But this year, someone else joined us.

Now, the whole reason to go to the fair is for the food. Unfortunately, Eggy is not quite ready to sample all the delicacies that the fair has to offer. But she tried...
Mmmm, roasted corn...

I could slather her with butter and eat her up. nom nom nom

I can't wait to take her again next year!
