6 Months!!!!!
Happy half birthday to our sweet girl! Meredith Rose, at 6 months you are happy smiley and so much fun! You jabber like crazy and are perfecting your high pitch scream and fake whine. You are loving books and baths and play well independently. You practice pushing up on your arms and can scoot on your stomach in every direction except forward. We can't imagine life without you!
Two days after your 6 month birthday, you had your doctor's appointment and were 15 pounds and just under 27 inches long! You are still tall and skinny but now are down to the 83% for height.
This was a month of so many firsts and so much development! Some big first included your first time swimming in a pool and your first time on a swing. You loved both. We started to flip you around and you love it. We think you are going to be a gymnast ;)
Your hand coordination is getting so much better and you now can swat at your toys and splash your hands in the water. You love your books and would prefer to read eat them on your own.
You started saying "momma" and "mommy" in your cries and we weren't sure if you really knew what you were saying. The day before you turned 6 months, you said mommy so clear that we decided it was time to count it for your first word. You have said "dada" only a couple times as part of your babbling but your dad is determined to make that your next word!
You are still wearing a lot of 0-3 and 3 month clothes. We are just starting to transition to some 3-6 month and 6 month outfits. You basically still wear the same outfits we had you in at 2 months!
You are still eating every 3 hours during the day and are up 2-3 times a night to eat (and for a diaper change). We moved you up to size 3 diapers but realized they were huge and moved you back to size 2. You are just so long that we may need to go to the bigger size and put it on nice and tight!
You reach for everything and constantly grab out our faces. We need to keep those nails short because you pitch and grip tight!
Still no teeth but the drool continues!
We have also started putting you on the floor to let you slide around more without the rug or a blanket. You love exploring this way!
You push up on your hands really well but don't have any interest in going on your knees yet. If we try to help you, you kick out into a plank position!
You still love your zany zoo and your v-tech sit and stand noisy toy!
You are still a momma's girl and often times just want to be held by me or be right next to me. You are very generous with that sweet smile of yours :) We love you so much!
