Semi-Annual

I waited to post her 6 month picture until we had our appointment, which was after she was 6 months old. As you can see she's sitting up, ready to eat. She'll stand whenever you'll let her - she even dances a little bit! It seems today she's added na-na to her vocabulary, this in addition to ah-da and da-da. We swear she said "bye" the other day but can't get her to repeat!

We had a pretty good trip to the doctor for our check-up. I gave her some sweet potatoes before going in so she was in a good mood! She weighed 19 lbs 1 oz (92nd percentile) and is 29 inches long/tall (99th percentile). Her head was in the 47th percentile I think? She gained two lbs in two months, and only grew like 1/4 inch so her vertical growing seems to be slowing down. We've stopped Zantac, we've got two teeth. She is rolling both directions and sitting up for long periods of time. Some of the other developmental things were looking for an item that has been dropped, grabbing things, feeding self cracker (we don't have crackers but anything she picks up goes into her mouth...), bearing weight when standing, and so forth. We feel so thankful for a healthy and growing baby! And we're done with the rounds of shots too - I know Emersen is grateful for this as well. And thanks to PAA for hooking us up with samples of our special formula!

I just wanted to take a look back to Emersen at about 3 weeks old now that we've hit the half year point. Her nose has really changed! And mouth. And hair - its thinner and a lot lighter! I still just want to eat her up though.
