6 Months

They say's its your birthday....

Ok, well in this case it's a HALF-birthday.

But still a good reason to celebrate, with a little birthday crown.

We had Matilda's 6 Month appointment yesterday.

16 pounds, 14 ounces

26 inches

Interestingly enough, Matilda was ALSO 26 inches at 4 months. So there are two theories:

1) Someone measured wrong at one of these appointments.

2) All of her energy has been put into her thighs and bootie and not her length.

What do you think?

She is still boycotting rolling over, but since she will sit-up like it's her job the doctor wasn't worried about it all. And really, what use is rolling over anyway? You don't roll over as an adult. You do however need to be able to sit up now and then.

Lots and lots of snuggles now.

She reached for me while sitting in Nate's lap the other day and it damn near melted my heart right on the spot.

We are adding soy and dairy back into the diet, which I am super excited (and a little nervous) about.

She is starting to do some more voice testing--doing a really low gremlin growl and then pushing out a 'b' sound. It's pretty funny.

And LOTS of raspberries. and high pitch squealing.

Can I just say how much I love 6 months?
