I'm a little late on this post. I was going to put something up right around the 31st, but then we had that big wind storm, and then Gia had a fever for over 24 hours after her 6 month shots, so I haven't had time to take pictures or post. Anyway, I'm finally writing, and here are her 6 month doctor results:
Height: 25 3/4 inches...... 45%
Weight: 13 lbs 13.5 oz.... 15%
Head: 65% (I can't remember the cm)
So, I have a long, tiny, large headed baby :o) She is her daddy's daughter! Except that Bobby was extremely fat as a baby, so in that area she takes after me. Just for a reference, she weighs only a little more than I did at her age, but is 1 3/4 inches longer than I was! I wasn't 25 inches until 9 months. I guess she will definitely be taller than me (Bobby would say "that's not hard to do").
Some milestones she hit between 5-6 months were:
Saying "baba" and "mama" (I won the bet that she would say "mama" before "dada"... it doesn't matter that she doesn't know what it means. Bobby owes me ice cream :o) )
Sitting up on her own
Laughing
Putting her feet in her mouth
Taking the bottle really well
Rolling over both ways
Eating solid foods (squash and applesauce)
Finally growing into her 3-6 month clothes!
Grabbing things, holding them, throwing them, watching them fall.
I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of right now. She is finally back to sleeping 8 hours at night, but it's a struggle to get her tired before 10:30pm. Right now, as I type this at 10:30pm, Bobby is attempting to get her to sleep. It's not really working. Other than that, she is a happy, joyful, social baby who loves to smile at strangers, laugh at Daddy and snuggle with Mommy. This is definitely my favorite stage so far. I love seeing her interact and play with her toys, smile at Nola (our dog), reach for me to hold her, and get tickeld at other small children. She is such a smiley, friendly baby, and I hope this personality sticks with her into her childhood. Happy 1/2 birthday, Gianna Grace!
