Actually, if I would have waited another week or so this would be titled Seven Month Update...oops.  A little slow there.

Anna is not at all happy sitting still.  She is working on crawling.  She is able to move using her arms and one leg with the other leg being dragged.  Tonight though she came close, actually it was more so a bear walk then a crawl, but she was not sitting still.  Anna is also working on her walking skills.  She's slowly getting her confidence up to walk along the furniture while holding onto only one of my or Damion's hand.  She does get excited though if somebody wants to hold both her hands and take her for a walk.

As usual there are pictures in the gallery.  There are pictures from Anna's sixth month photo shoot and miscellaneous pictures taken througout the month of June.  A bit of a warning though, the album for June 23 may not be for everybody (ie the weak hearted, nanas, or grandmas).

It has been awhile since I have come across something that has just not sat well within me.  But today I found something on that wonderful thing called the internet that just baffels me.  It is the "essentials pacifier pod".  Basically it is a little holder, size of a cell phone holder, that you can attach to your purse that holds two pacifiers so you always have one with your purse in case you have to leave the house quickly.  And it can be yours for $8 plus shipping!

Really? People are buying this?  Anna has gotten to 6 months and I haven't had a need for this.  We have kept a limited number of pacifiers in the house so we always have an idea where one is located.  Oh, so you need to have a place to keep it?  Really?  I have found a pants pocket works nicely.

Really?  For if you leave the house quickly?  Seriously, there is no quickly leaving the house if you have a kid that needs a pacifier.   Because there is also likely the need for that silly thing called a car seat and a diaper bag at minimun.  So, why not do what we have done and leave a spare in the diaper bag and when you get home put it back!  Seems simple don't you think.  Oh the only time that spare is used is when Anna is at church and the nice nursery people don't use the labeled pacifier (labeled per their request) and when Nana misplaces the one Anna came with (Yeah QaQa for finding it on the key rack!)

Yet again though I feel like I need to ask, Really?  People need this?

That's right, it's Jess' birthday! 

From Anna and I, Jess got a Rotatrim Mastercut II 15" Rotary Cutter from B & H.  It's a fantastic paper cutter that will cut paper edges thinner than a hair...  It's really neat.

Since I'm having so much fun with the video stuff, here's a video of the cutter in action...

Well, it's finally here.  You've seen pictures, now you get to see and hear her! 

Enjoy, and let me know if you want more of these!
