I can hardly believe baby girl is 6 months old! We had our 6 month well visit and she is still putting up impressive stats. Since her last visit she has grown 1 inch and gained nearly 2 lbs, has 2 full teeth on the bottom and another one on the way. She can sit by herself very well and can pivot around in circles on her belly, wapping toys on the ground while she spins, to get after the other things on the ground near her. She is not yet crawling, but can get up on her hands and tip toes and tries to move forward. She hasn't quite figured it out though, and ends up pushing herself backwards. She really wants to get a move on though so we'll see in the next few weeks. We've started her on a few solid foods, once a day. So far she's eaten (and mostly enjoyed: sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, peas, apples, pears and bananas. The Dr. said since she is growing so well and still not napping all that great, to up her solid foods, to twice a day, so we'll see how that goes.
6 month stats:
Height: 27", 90% percentile
Weight: 17 lb 5 oz, 77% percentile
Head Circumference: 85% percentile (those brains are growing!!)
Current favorites and tricks: Rolling from back to front, front to back, and finally she's an AMBI-roller (though she only does it to get out when she is cornered somewhere), sucking and biting anything and everything, talking and giggling, playing in her exersaucer, her owl toy, the song Zip-a-Dee-Do-Da and being held ... all the time. Such a darling little girl!
She so wants to crawl!
