I’m Six Months Old This Week…

… and I weigh 14 pounds, 5 ounces (5th percentile)

… and I am 26 inches tall (40th percentile)

… and my head measures 17.75 inches (80th percentile)

… and I have started solid foods … so far, rice cereal and bananas.  Next up, squash

… and I don’t spit up as much anymore

… and I am wearing 3-6 month clothes, which are way to wide for me

… and I am wearing 3-6 month clothes, which are starting to be too short for me

… and I wear size 1 diapers during the day, which still fit great!

… and I wear size 2 or 3 diapers at night because my bladder is outpacing the size of my tush

… and I sleep 11.5 hours every night, rarely waking until after 6 in the morning

… and I go to bed at 7:30

… and I sleep 3 hours for my morning nap

… and I sleep 2 hours for my afternoon nap

… and if I am up past bedtime, I am still very good

… and I chew on my fingers a lot

… but there still are no signs of teeth

… and I kick my legs every second of every minute that I am awake

… sometimes with them both in the air

… sometimes I tap them both on the floor

… and sometimes, I just tap one

… and I smile at all the ladies

… and when I talk, it usually involves screaming

… and I love Diesel, but sometimes get scared of other dogs

… and I really like to try to pull hair

… and I play with my toes at least twice a day

… and this morning, I put my toes into my mouth.  Yummy!

… and I can put my pacifier into my mouth after it falls out

… and I roll over after I am put on my tummy- but I don’t cry anymore

… but I don’t have any interest in crawling yet

… though I practice some pelvic tilts every day.  Just like Suzanne Summers

… and I can sit up better, but I still need a safety net

… and I love to go outside with the nieghbors and watch the kids run around

… which will happen a lot if the weather stays warm

… and I often get compliments on how calm and cute I am

… and I ride in the car like a champ.  Mom says this is wonderful since we have so many long car trips coming soon.

… and anyone can hold me, I don’t mind

… but when I see Mom and Dad, it really makes me smile

… and I have started to talk to my reflection.  It makes me giggle

… and baths make me tired

… and now I am on mostly formula since I am eating

… and I put nearly everything in my mouth

… but I don’t drool very much

… and in case you forgot, this is what I look like
