My Portraits

Half a Year Old

Hi everybody! Guess what, I am now 6 months old!! Actually, I turned last Wednesday the 9th, but Mom and Dad have been so busy with basement clean-up (see Mommy's blog for an explanation) that we haven't been on the computer much. At my check-up, I weighed in at 20 pounds 8 ounces, 27 1/4 inches long, and I have a 17 inch head. My percentiles are 91st for weight, 80th for height, and 25th for head circumference, so still around the same as last time. I only have a pound and a half to go before I will need a new carseat!! In the last month, I have learned to sit up completely on my own, I started babbling Ma Ma quite impressively, I have finally learned to roll over, and I can scoot myself across the floor when I'm sitting or on my belly, given the right motivation, of course. I also started solid foods last week (baby cereal)which I really enjoy. The food doesn't have much taste, but I like to do anything the big people are doing!!

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day with my mommy. We had fun because my Uncle Daren is in town so we're out and about showing him the city. He sure is funny! He keeps calling my Monkey, Baby Kong, and Michelin Baby. We are having fun hanging out. Tomorrow we are all going to the amusement park. I don't know if I'll get to ride any rides, though. I guess we'll have to wait and see. And today my Mommy turns 30! I am not looking forward to seeing the adults eating cake that I can't have!! Mom says 6 more months and I will get my own cake!!
