Big Girl



Amy hit the big 6 month checkpoint which means another doctor appointment to get the latest stats on our little gal. She measured 27 inches long, which is the 89th percentile. Head was 43.5 cms (not given a percentile on that one) and she weighed 17 pounds 9.5 ounces, putting her in the 77th percentile for weight. So all around she is doing very well and mainly grew longer instead of heavier.

She is eating baby food and cereal twice a day now. She loves oatmeal and mixed grain and doesn't really seem to have a preference on the baby food yet. She is still quite the mommy's girl, but that isn't always a bad thing. We just discovered that she can sit up on her own and she is doing fabulous now that we give her the opportunity to practice. She loves playing in the saucer and has been rolling for a little while and is just starting to figure out how to use rolling to get herself from one place to another. She still adores her big brother and he mainly still likes her. When she isn't sick she will usually sleep through the night, depending on when she goes to bed and when she last ate. And lastly, she is an extremely happy, smiley baby when she first wakes up!!

I can't imagine life without our sweet little Amy. Hope you enjoy some new pictures. This bottom one is one day she fell asleep while I was holding her and I just couldn't bring myself to go put her in a bed (she sleeps on my bed if she falls asleep after Sam goes down for a nap), so I snuggled her on the couch next to me while I worked on a project and just watched her sleep. Love moments like these!
