Busy weekend!

We had a busy long weekend this past week! We started our weekend early on Thursday and took Cora Leigh to the pediatrician for her 6-month checkup. She weighed 15 pounds, 12.5 ounces (42nd percentile), was 26 inches long (53rd percentile), and had a head circumference of 43 cm (62nd percentile). Dr. Gillispie was very pleased with her growth and said that she looked great! She got pretty angry when she got her shots (and the nurse was a little slow for our taste...), but she really got over it pretty fast - within a couple of minutes. We decided to travel to Tennessee after her appointment and were a little nervous about how that was going to go. She did great!! She did sleep for a while. When she woke up, it was about time to eat, so we stopped at a McDonald's where we took in her Bumbo seat so we could feed her her cereal. She was extremely distracted, but we managed to get her to eat most of her cereal. We learned that it's not a good idea to sit close to the bathroom - too many people walking by! :) We had a very good weekend back home and got to spend some good quality time with our families. We also got to go to my best friend's baby shower and be home to celebrate my sister's birthday! Although hectic, it was a really great weekend. We only wished we had more time. It was especially fun to get to see our adorable niece, Hayden, and how she's grown in the last month since we had seen her last! We do wish that our baby girls didn't live 5 hours from each other... Oh, and other big news, Cora Leigh rolled over for the first time on Monday, March 29th! One minute she was doing tummy time; the next she was laying on her back! We were starting to wonder if it was going to happen! :) Here are some pics from the weekend.
