Ok. So these aren't her 'official' 6 month photos. They were taken on Halloween just a week or so before she turned 6 months. But they will have to do for now!
Isn't she an adorable little gnome?
I made her this green dress (and repurposed a tshirt to make the leggings), but it was a wee bit big as you can see in the picture below. But it was still fun to wear to our church trunk or treat. Next year, she might be big enough to walk around the church parking lot herself (sorta. maybe.)
How is this little munchkin 6 months old already?! Half a year! I keep saying this...but this is the best time of my life. Also the quickest. How the heck has 6 months gone by? It's pure ridiculousness.
I think we have had the most fun this past month. As soon as she started sitting up on her own, I gained two free hands and she was able to really play with her toys.
Also.
the baby smiles.
so many baby smiles.
We can actually play and laugh together.
We are a little a lot biased, but we think she has amazing eye contact and social skills.
The past couple weeks I've noticed that she is starting to imitate me (already?!?). She can stick out her tongue and make funny raspberry fart noises. I do that to her all the time and she has started to catch on. This morning she was copying me making a high pitched squeal then the raspberry noise. It was hilarious. In fact, I laughed so hard it scared her and she almost started to cry. Oops! So now, I'm trying to teach her to make kissy noises. We'll see...
Still no teeth. But lots of drool.
Still can wear 3 month clothes. She's petite!
No rolling over yet. That weirdo. No matter how far she goes on her side, she won't commit to the complete roll over.
She is sleeping amazingly well lately. I love it.
Still likes her pacifier, but mostly to chew/teeth on.
Still prefers to eat every 2 hrs (ugh!).
Loves her exersaucer (a free 20 minutes for me!!!)
She's really good at standing (with support) and can balance pretty well.
At her 6 month check-up she weighed a whooping 13lbs 10oz, which is barely in the 10%, but that's where she's been most of her life! She is 25.5in and in the 36% and is 31% for her head. Her doctor says she is healthy and even advanced for her development (because she can sit up completely on her own)!
It's also been really fun the past two weeks or so to start feeding her solid food. She has tried: banana (her favorite), rice cereal, applesauce and just tried avocado yesterday. We can't believe how good she is at eating. Just opens her mouth and gobbles it up. Not too messy either. We are proud.
Here's to hoping that 6 month growth spurt everyone talks about isn't too unkind to us...
