Margo is 6 months old!

Can you believe it? Margo turned 6 months old on Monday. She celebrated this big milestone a day early by learning to roll over onto her tummy! She did it all afternoon long and kept us busy, because she no longer stays put where we set her down! She had a hard time with her nap on Sunday because she kept flipping onto her tummy in her crib and then getting mad because most of the time she doesn't even like to be on her tummy! Silly kid!

It's been a big couple of weeks for Margo. This week we'll be starting her on some solids. She has also found her feet and loves to grab onto them. She's enjoying books more, and Mark & Rosa loaned us their jumperoo and just this past week Margo became tall enough to enjoy it.

Margo's biggest feats came over Memorial Day weekend. We took a plane to Colorado Springs to meet Thompsons, Sutulas and Aunt Barbara for my mom's 70th Birthday and my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Margo was a dream on all of the flights. She mostly slept or ate. She had a couple fussy moments but never went into full-on crying mode. We changed a couple diapers on the first leg of the trip but luckily the plane had a diaper-changing station in one of the restrooms! Margo charmed folks on the plane and she was also a charmer with the family the whole weekend. She made it cheerfully through some meals that were longer and later than what she's used to. She slept like a champ in her crib in the hotel and had fun playing on the Spongebob blanket Aunt Kathy brought. She loved meeting those family members she hadn't met yet and she especially jived with her sweet cousins Maddie and Jamie.

We were very relieved that Margo was well to travel. We'd had a rough time lately - she was sick for 2 1/2 weeks and missed 12 days of school due to a stomach bug. 18 days of diarrhea = not fun for anyone, although Margo didn't seem fazed by it at all. We had her see a doctor three times and each time they said as long as she didn't have a fever (she didn't) we'd just have to wait it out. Who knew a kid could have a bug for so long?!?! Luckily she was better by the Tuesday before our trip. Whew!
