Six Months!

Homegirl turned 6 months old 9 days ago but had her well-check today. So, here’s a snapshot of Reese at 6 months:

Weight: 16 lbs, 11oz – 50th percentile
Height: 27″ – 90th percentile
Head: 40th percentile

Teeth: Two of them! The first one came in on Jan 11 with the second on breaking through the gums on January 14.
Food: still nursing like a champ, though easily distracted these days. Started introducing solids on January 17. Since then she’s had (and loved!) barley cereal, avocado, squash, green bean, banana and pear. Pretty sure she would eat until she exploded if we let her. That girl loves her groceries.
Movement: Started sitting up on her own a couple of weeks ago. Slowly built up the length of time. She’s already trying to crawl around. I’ve seen her scoot and army crawl forward to get something out of reach.

Other: Bedtime is between 7 & 7:30. She is solidly in 6 month clothes and even wearing some 9 month stuff thar made it into her dresser by mistake and that I’m too lazy to take out. everything goes in her mouth these days. She’s constantly reaching for shiny things. She’s recently discovered Dante. Safe to say she is obsessed with him. If he’s in the house she’s either looking at him or for him. She loves to be held while I play tug-o-war with him. She is still Rylee’s biggest fan.

And she is still the happiest girl I know.
