Six Months Doctor Visit, and Other News



I've heard it said that babies don't have the best memory, well I'm not convinced.  Today we went to the doctor's office for Anna's 6 month check-up.  She SCREAMED whenever I wasn't holding her.  Even when she was just getting weighed, she screamed.  She is not convinced that the doctor has her best interest at heart.  But, despite the loud protests, Anna did very well.  She is growing "like a champ" and is learning well.  The doctor even seemed impressed that Anna was trying to figure out how to crawl, so she might even be ahead of the learning curve.


She now weighs 16 pounds, putting her in the 55th percentile, and is 26 inches tall, landing her in the 70th percentile.  That is two inches in two months.  Our little Anna is growing like a weed.


In other news, she is sitting up all by herself like a pro.  She prefers to be sitting on her own, as long as she can see either Joe or me.  If she's not sitting, she wants to be on her belly trying to crawl so she can catch up with the cat.

Rice Cereal

Anna has ventured into the world of solid food.   And she LOVES it!   She tries to grab the spoon or the bowl, but usually just ends up with her hand in her mouth, but she tastes it anyway because it has some cereal on it.
