Help!

This post goes out to all my savvy blogging friends. For some time now, I have been told that my "url - elmosoccers.blogspot.com" in readers forwards to my twitter account. I use to have my twitter feed connected with my blog, but since I hardly ever use twitter anymore I removed it from my blog. I thought this would fix the feed problem, but I guess it didn't.

Also I think that might be why I've had trouble connecting my blog with Facebook. Anyone who knows anything about blogs, please Help. I thought I was somewhat savvy but apparently not. I've had this blog for years, like 6 or 7 and haven't keep up with all the changes, so what am I missing??

6 Months Old

Height: 25.5 inches long; Between 25th - 50th percentile
Weight: 13 lbs. 14 oz.; 5th percentile
Head Size: 16.5 inches; 25th percentile
Diaper Size: Cloth diapers, second to smallest size
Clothes: Mostly 3-6 month clothes and a few 0-3 month shirts.
Sleep: You are still an awesome sleeper, going to bed around 8:00 and sleeping through the night. When you were sick you were waking up once a night and would cuddle with mommy to fall back to sleep. 
Eating: You are still eating every 2-3 hours, but I am increasing your milk intake and we are stretching out your feeding times. We are feeding you baby foods once a day every other day, but will start feeding you at least once a day now that you are 6 months old. 
Mommies Milestones: You are really mobile now - army crawling and sitting up in addition to the rolling and scooting. You can sit unassisted for several minutes, but haven't mastered how to sit up on your own. You love eating and get really excited when you see food. You have figured out how to take off the cup holder on your stroller and you now like to sit up while in your car seat attached to the stroller. I think it's time to change out the stroller seat. I am prolonging this as long as possible because I enjoy looking down on your when we go for walks. You have FINALLY started giggling. It melts my heart every time and I am constantly making a fool of myself in order to hear that sweet sound. You went through a brief period of rejecting your paci, but we put it in the freezer and you love it. You HATE Target bathrooms, mainly because of the hand dryers. AND you love paper. You have also pulled yourself up on your activity cube twice.

1. Cups - You LOVE cups. I don't know why but you love to chew on them. And it doesn't matter what kind of cup it is. Lately you have been trying to pull cups out of the cup holder on your stroller.  See video below of her excitement. 

2. Chewbeads - I love these necklaces. Not only are the fashionable but they are "safe" for baby with the appropriate adult supervision of course. I have several of them and I recently discovered that Michaels sells similiar beads so of course I had to make one for myself. 

3. Sophie the Giraffe - Just about every baby these days has a Sophie. It's a great toy for teething. We also have Sophie's friend the "alien" as we call it. 

4. Boogie Wipes - We had previously stocked up while at Sams on these, but hadn't had a chance to use them yet. They have come in very handy lately since C's nose had been running. 

5. Stackable Toy - Any stacking toy will do, but I really like the LAMAZE one we have. It's not the one pictured here. Ours is a few years old and rotates while playing music. 

San Diego Safari Park

I've been slacking on my blogging these past few weeks so I figured I would share our latest adventure to the San Diego Safari Park. For those of you unfamiliar with the park it is not the SD Zoo but an additional wildlife park affiliated with the zoo. Since we live close to the zoo we purchased a membership so C and I could go anytime. Admission also include the Safari Park which is approximately 45 minutes away. We have since been to both parks once, but I'm planning to go once every other week in the coming months.

David's dad is in town this weekend and we decided to explore this unknown, to us, park and see how it differed from the zoo. I think we took almost as many pictures of C as we did the animals. I did enjoy this park almost more than the zoo. I can't pinpoint the reason why, but it felt more condensed and manageable. Plus I enjoyed the rugged feeling. The "tram" ride was cool as it allowed us to see the animals in their "natural" habitat. They offer a variety of other add ons like an inside look at the animals and the opportunity to feed the giraffes to zip lining, etc. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day.

Daddy I'll show you where to go.

Old rhino

Tour we didn't pay for. 

Giraffe licking the palm tree. 

Cheetah run. Another add on that we didn't pay for but were able to watch. 

Elephants

Rough day

David and I were able to go to dinner sans baby. We had planned to see a movie but it was sold out and neither of us could have stayed up for the 10:00 show. Man we are getting old.
