6 month stats

I'm only two weeks late in releasing the 6 month stats. Albeit, we didn't go to the doctor until last Wednesday but she turned six months two weeks ago today. Hard to believe that it's been six months. Feels like it's gone by in the blink of an eye but on the other hand it hasn't. She's grown. She's laughed. She's definitely eating and drinking. Her front two teeth are coming in and she has taken to biting down on things, bottle nipples, my nipples, fingers, etc. She's testing out her chompers! And let me tell you, they work. They will be sharp and aid her in chewing her food and biting others.

We took her to see Dr. G last Wednesday for her 6 month check up, and she's doing well. In the picture, Mark and Lilly are standing by the scale, in the baby room of the doctor's office. Lilly got two shots and took them like a champ. She also weighs 18 lbs 13 ounces (still in the 90th-95th percentile) and is up an inch, and now is 26 1/2 inches (75th percentile). She's in 6-9 month clothes. My bag of small fitting clothes keeps getting bigger and bigger - I'm due to start another bag.

But she's starting to blow 'raspberries' so lot's of noise and spit. Luckily no blowing raspberries while eating yet. So no projectile food! Her routine napping schedule is off, sometimes she'll sleep 30 minutes, other times she'll sleep 1-2 hours. With her napping schedule so irregular, she usually finds herself exhausted at the end of the day. Yesterday she barely napped and was wiped out by her bath, so she was quite cranky until we put her down to sleep. And for those first few hours, she barely moved. Now she's taking a much longer nap - 1 hour! - and I can hear her stirring, so I better get ready. In just two weeks and some days, we'll be celebrating her 7 month birthday!
