Six Months Old

01.07.2010

It's unbelievable to me that Megan is 6 months old. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. I guess all mom's say that. They grow up way too fast.

Megan weighs 16 pounds and 8 ounces, measures 24 3/4 inches and has a head circumference of 16 3/4 inches. On the charts, she's at the 50th percentile for all measurements which means she's the "ideal" size for a baby girl her age.

At 6 months, Megan...
  • is learning to love baby food - bananas seem to be her favorite (the little monkey!)
  • only cries when she's hungry, sleepy or needs a diaper change - she's very low maintenance
  • smiles A LOT
  • laughs at Andrew often and from time to time gives a little giggle for Mommy and Daddy
  • is trying to sit up
  • rolls over and over from one side of the room to the other
  • has great hand-eye coordination
  • holds her bottle by herself
  • puts everything she can in her mouth
  • is on a very regular eating and sleeping schedule, which I love!
  • loves to look at herself in a mirror
  • loves her big brother!
  • kicks her legs like crazy when she's happy - just like her brother
  • coos and gurgles when she's happy
  • turns when she hears her name
  • enjoys sitting in the highchair, swinging in the swing and playing in the exersaucer
  • SAYS MAMA
  • is a real joy!
