Mim is now 6 months old, as of October 1st. At her doctor's appointment she was in the 89%tile for height, 50%tile for weight and 70%tile for head circumference. She's over 16 pounds now.
Besides that, she started pulling up to standing just after she was 5 months old and now thinks she can just let go, which has led to a couple falls and bonks on the head. I wish she was still content to just roll around on the floor. Ahwell, onward and upward.
She crawled under her ExcerSaucer and got stuck. It was hard to get her out, too.
I've been told that most babies can't make real tears until they're older than this, but she's been doing it since she was a newborn. It's very sad and very cute.
Here she is, standing up and super satisfied with herself. PS- check out those thigh rolls behind the bars. Also, don't worry- her crib has now been lowered to the lowest level.
She started solids about 2 weeks ago. She likes them more than this face indicates.
I cut her bangs over conference weekend, when I was hanging out with my sister and mom during priesthood session. There were enough of us around that we could distract her and get her to hold still while I moved in with the scissors. 
The mullet I got rid of this last Saturday. I cried after I did it because it looked so short, but I like it now. It's a sassy baby bob. (Yes, I kept the hair I cut off.)
Nothing too new for Mike and I. He goes to school and works and I go to school to work but spend most of my time with my girl. It's been wonderful walk weather lately and we've done quite a bit of that. The other day we went all the way to Broadbent's and I got some strips of fabric to make headbands out of- I'm excited and will post a picture of them once they're done.
Join it.
This first pic is of some boxes I covered in scrapbooking paper to put up in Mim's room. I like how they turned out. Wow, it was forever ago that I made these, like back when Mim was just itty bitty.
Daddy-daughter nap.
This is while the men folk were out cutting up the tree and hauling it to the field.
The tree. They cut it on a diagonal so not only did it cover almost our entire front lawn, but it went into the road, too. 
Bath time faces.
Smug about bath time.
Koala-baby. She doesn't do this as much anymore. She used to latch on with all four appendages when I changed her diaper or was snapping up a onesie. The only time she does this now is when she's super hungry and crawls over to me to try to suck on my leg.
Yep, that's spit-up. All three of us (Mike, Mim, me) thought it was pretty funny.
This is the bedskirt/curtain project. I made something like 30 6'x10' blocks and 12 4'x10' blocks. I will for sure post when I've finished; I think it's going to be pretty cute. I'm also doing a little doll quilt that will match these that Mim'll get for Christmas. 
I wanted to put up a pic of Mim in the dress my mom (Grandma) made for her for Kaid and Jenny's wedding. It has a super full skirt and now it's even cuter because Mim can sit up and the dress spreads all around her. Aww.... (There's also a little red sash and flower that go on it, but those are usually sucked on until they're soaking wet within the first 10 minutes she has them on.)
Cox family reunion, at the Scera pool. After Mim had enough of the water, she hung out with Grandpa.
Lookin' so good at Kaid and Jenny's wedding.
All the pictures where Mike was smiling normally were either blurry or I looked dorky. He's still a handsome dude, though.
I think my dad is a handsome dude also.
Tee-hee. Ki forgot to take Kita's shorts off that she wore up to Salt Lake, so Ki was telling her to show everyone, and it didn't take Arie long at all to catch on.
Brand new married! My brother, another handsome dude, and his lovely bride (and my new sis-in-law!), Jenny.
Taken within the first few days of her sitting up by herself. I also love that dress and knew she would grow out of it soon. :(
Playing with Mim's hair after bath time. I called this one "The Unicorn."
This is why:
I love it when Mim goes all sleeping baby limp after I rock her to sleep. Ah, bedtime.
I love it that wonderful Mike is grocery shopping. He volunteered. Probably because we're out of chicken and milk, both of which he loves. Add to the equation that we went vegetarian for dinner tonight plus this is the last night Macey's has their chicken on for $1.49/lbs, and you get a husband that's at the grocery store without me bugging him like crazy.
I love it that our house is almost finished being rewired. The electricians are really nice and good people, but it's just weird to have a stranger in your house all day.
I love it that it's been all fall-y these last couple of days.
I love it that I figured out how to save more of the wood from the scrap pile. I hate wasting and prefer to save everything that might somehow be useful someday. I may or may not be a packrat.
I love it all.
