You are six months old! When I was pregnant with you, six months went by sooooo slooooowly but these past six months with you have flown by. You are such a sweet and happy little girl and I love watching you grow and evolve every day.
At your checkup today, you measured in at 18.9 pounds and 27 1/4 inches long. You are so big that you barely fit in the bassinet anymore and are growing out of your size 6-months clothing. You have such strong legs that I often lay perpendicular to you in my bed so that you can kick my back and give me a good back massage! You smile a lot, like to stick out your tongue, can grab items with both of your hands and--something I'm especially happy about--have gone from pooping an average of six times a day to only one time a day!
You often stare at me when I am eating so you were clearly ready to start eating solids this month! I started you on rice cereal and you have been doing really well with it. You also like sitting in your high chair--and sucking on the tray!
You don't like to be left alone and cry for me when I leave you. When you're really upset, you emit these incredibly shrill, ear-piercing shrieks (which Daddy loves). But then as soon as you see me again, you sigh happily, grin from ear to ear and kick your feet really hard (similar to how a puppy wags its tail when it is happy, haha!). I don't like hearing you shriek when we're apart but I do love your joyful reaction when we're reunited!
Love,
Mom
