Six Month Stats
We had a great doctor's appointment today if you don't count the three shots (including H1N1) which made Charm City Baby's world come crashing down. That and the fact that she was terrified of the paper liner on the hospital table. Weird. She loves playing with paper towels at home, but the noisy nature of the tissue paper surrounding her, had her bug-eyed, jumpy, arms out and shaking. Poor baby. I held her during her entire exam and she repaid me by peeing on my jeans. Yay!
At any rate we confirmed what we already knew...Olivia is an eater. She is now allowed to have stage two solids. Haha well, we may or may not have already been feeding her the larger quantity stage two stuff! She also gets 4 bottles a day varying in range from 5-7 ounces each.
Here are her 6-month stats:
- Height: 27 inches (90th percentile) She's getting tall!
- Weight: 17 lbs 9.6 ounces (75 percentile)
- Head Circumference: 43.1 cm (50th percentile)
I just can't say enough how much fun this age/phase is! Recently she has started bending over at her side ("like a teapot short and stout") to look at people or objects. She does it all the time--whether I'm holding her and she's staring at people sideways, or when she's sitting alone.
She is starting to understand that objects can be behind, underneath things. I am also enjoying her reaction to music--she studies it, she dances, and she sings too. She also loves applause and it can snap her out of any crying/whining fit.
Just remind me how much I am loving this as she begins to teethe more! :)

Your baby might be a porker if...
...the waistline of a jumper must be improvised and shifted upward to become an "empire waistline" to accommodate her belly.
Exhibit A: (notice the long suspenders just dangling and serving no purpose at all)

Yes, the outfit is a bit crazy today. I did that. I wanted her to wear this corduroy jumper for the first time (purchased for $4 at Old Navy while pregnant), but then I didn't want her to wear just a plain white shirt, and THEN I realized it was too cold for her not to wear tights! So you have stripes, corduroy trimmed in plaid, and hearts!
Hey, while you're here want to see something funny scary? Our little horror film star in the making...
