Lilah continues to be a joy at 6 months. She smiles easily and laughs often. She has (knock on wood) improved somewhat in the car, but still has her days. She is a snuggler and a cuddler. She LOVES her big brother. He is the funniest guy on earth. And in spite of himself, he loves her like crazy too! He struggled for awhile when he realized she was staying, but he's gotten over it and is really enjoying his role. He love making her laugh!
Lilah is (and has been for awhile) rolling both ways, scooting wherever she wants to go, turning full circles on her stomach and sitting unsupported for quite a long time without toppling over. Just when I think she's getting the hang of plopping over gracefully, she tips backwards without warning and bops her her. So we still have to watch her! I don't think crawling and pulling up are far off. God help us!
Lilah is still a pro nurser and eats all that I have most days. She is an eater in general. We have moved through all of the cereals and veggies and are onto fruits. She gets to try pears tonight! She has a routine when it comes to eating. She makes an awful face at first and the proceeds to eat every last bite. We've even moved to 2nd foods for lunch because she is such a hungry girl! We added lunch last week when it occurred to me that she had been fussy for a few days. I had a feeling she might be hungry. Yep! And it wasn't long before we realized she would easily eat double what we were offering her, and thus made the switch to 2nd foods.
All that eating makes her quite the chunk! I love it that way!! Her rolls are just adorable. She is adorable in general if I do say so myself!
We visited the doctor today for her 6 month appointment. Her stats are as follows:
Head:17 inches
Height: 27 inches, 89th percentile
Weight: 17 lbs, 14 oz, 83rd percentile
So, yeah, a chunk indeed!
Lilah was NOT a fan of the nurse or the doctor today. She was a crying mess as soon as the nurse touched her and threw a fit when the doc touched her too. He said she's just advanced as stranger fear is more of a 9 month skill. Ha! He also said he thinks she will be an early talker because she "just has that look about her." We'll take it! We've been through enough talking woes with her big brother!!
I am so sad that our baby is already 6 months old! But I can't wait to see her continue to grow and develop all the same. Happy 6 month birthday, baby girl!
