6 months old



I just ordered this tutu from Gymboree and I just love it! We had to show it off for her 6 month pictures.

Well, Laneybug has now reached that "half-a-year" mark and I can hardly believe it. It doesn't seem possible that this once 4 pound peanut is now rolling, smiling, laughing, eating, "talking", and doing lots of other "big girl" things. Here are the stats:
Weight: 13lbs 6oz (10%) It seems small, cause it is, but she is moving up the curve nicely so the doctor is happy.
Height: 26 1/2 inches (75%!!!) I add all the exclamation marks because you have to remember - she was 6 weeks early people! The percentiles listed can give you a pretty good idea that we've got a long and skinny baby on our hands. We joke that she's going to be taller than all of us.
Head: Really? I don't remember, but it was 45% so she must have an average size head.
Here are some pictures from the past month:

Laney LOVES her saucer thing - which is good since that's where she spends her time in the mornings while I try to leave for work on time and Chad tries to get out of bed to take over.

She started eating some food this past month. I waited a while longer than I did with Brooks. She has been eating bananas, avocados, carrots, and sweet potatoes. She not in love with eating...it just reminds me why I waited so long to feed her in the first place. I'm not a fan of this stage considering that everything we put in her mouth just gets pushed back out with her tongue. She's learning.

Laney and Mely.

Brooks continues to impress me by being the best big brother ever. He's always reading to Laney, covering her with her blanket, giving her her paci, smothering her with kisses...well, you get the point. He's great.
