Six month check-up!

Eliza seems to be doing really well. She's gigantic for her age. She's in the 95th percentiles for height and head circumference and 97th for weight. 27.5 inches tall and weighing in at 20.05 lbs. Can you believe how much our girl has grown? Apparently her size isn't of concern because she's height/weight proportionate.

Eliza is such a happy baby. She smiled and giggled during her entire exam. Both the Drs. noted just what a sweet disposition she has.

Otherwise, things looked good and we're excited. We were promised no shots at her next visit. It's always so heartbreaking too see her cry when she's been so good for the entire doctor visit.

After the doctor we went to Babies r Us to get Eliza a new swaddling blanket. Try as we might, she just won't sleep without it. We figure we probably have another month or two with it. The velcro was wearing off her old one, so I hope the new one lasts until she's ready to sleep unswaddled. We also get her a smaller sippy cup. The one I got her aroun Valentine's Day is just too big for her to handle on her own. We got her an Avent sippy up and it's slightly smaller. Hopefully she'll get in the habit of drinking some water with her baby food at night.

Speaking of baby food, she LOVES peaches. We also gave her a bit of baby chicken last night. Once she got used to the unusual taste, she was totally on board. *sniffle* Our little baby is growing up! *sniffle*

Six whole months! (tomorrow)

Tomorrow we'll be in Mayfield to move our things to Richmond. That's why I took the opportunity to post Eliza's last Raggedy Ann picture at Aunt Margie's. Notice the suitcase in the picture.

This month Eliza has really mastered sitting, moving all over the place in her crib, and grabbing everything within hand's reach. She's knocked over more than one drink. She's recently taken to sucking on the ear of one of her stuffed animals. I'm almost afraid she'll get a furball. She's really fallen in love with her toy bongo drums and her talking, singing dog toy. We were all really excited over the past couple of days when she learned to activate the musical teapot on her Exersaucer.

Notice how much her hair has grown. I think there's some punk rock hair gel in her future.
