Maxwell being sweet with his sister
Always smiling!
Her first tooth popped through the day after she turned 6 months old! Her first tooth was the center right tooth on the bottom. Why can't my kids be late bloomers when it comes to getting teeth? She got it nearly two months after Maxwell got his first though so I consider it a "win".
Max got this ribbon at swimming lessons for being great at floating on his back. He was so proud.
She still likes sleeping on her side with her head pushed back and touching something
I got this bow during Shannon's visit thinking it would be cute...until I got it on her head! My Goodness! It was HUGE! I left it on long enough to get a few pictures and that will be the ONLY time it goes on her head. :)
It's like she can barely keep her head up with that awful flower.
Video - Emmalyn is starting to crawl (or scoot). She's great at getting her belly up off the floor.
I took Emmalyn to her pediatrician for her 6 month check up. She was such a happy camper!
Here's the questionnaire I filled out for her
The poor girl had to get shots. I was able to nurse her right after and help comfort her.
Here's her stats from her 6 month visit:
Weight: 13 lbs 2 oz, 4th Percentile
Height: 24 in, 2nd Percentile
Head: 16.3 in, 25th Percentile
She dropped in % on both weight and height and then grew on her head %. Her doctor has stopped even bringing up how small she is.
I did talk to him about how I feel like she is always congested. He said that she had a slight cold but that it's common given that we are getting into cough/cold season and she has an old sibling in school. He said that they tend to get 1 cold a month and the cold lasts 3 weeks so basically she could be sick all winter. I'm not very okay with that explanation.
He wants me to do the "Infant led weaning" approach to her eating solids. Basically it means that you don't do as much of the purees and instead give them solids sooner and allow the baby to just gum the food and feed themselves. We'll see...maybe I'll push a little faster but I'm not about to give her a little piece of steak right now.
3 shots! No fun. :(
We visited Mary Ann next door that evening
Mary Ann insisted that we feed her something so she mashed up some bananas for Emmalyn. Emmalyn loved her first taste of bananas. It was sweet how excited Mary Ann was to be able to feed her.
I get the crummy mom award - - - I was trimming her nails in the middle of the night while she was nursing and I accidentally cut her finger. I've never done it this bad with Maxwell or Emmalyn ever before. I felt so awful. :(
