6 months

 Stats

Zoe , my how you've grown. At your appointment on Thursday these were your stats. You currently weigh 15lbs 10oz .You're 25 inches long , and your head is 16inches around. They say by this age most babies have doubled their birth weight. Well , you've tripled it haha.

Teeth

You don't have any teeth yet. The doctor thinks you'll get some this next month and has prescribed you fluoride to help strengthen your teeth when they do come in.

Eating 

 Your eating is really weird. Sometimes you want to eat other times you don't. Sometimes you want to eat but won't let us feed you. You're crazy. You have been introduced to some solids though so let's start there. You've officially had :

• Rice Cereal
• Squash - you love 
• Sweet Potatoes- you don't really care for, but you'll eat.
• Sweet Carrots - you LOVE these. 
• Bananas - You're allergic to them 
• Peaches- I don't know how you feel about these actually because you've only had them mixed in your rice cereal. 
• Ice cream - you love
• Chocolate pudding- you HATE. 
• Mac n' Cheese - you like 
• Frosting/Icing - you like 
• Cupcake - you don't really care for.

Awesome stuff you do 

• You sleep pretty great. Asleep by 10pm , wake up at 6am to eat , again at 8am , and then you usually sleep to noon.
• You are such the cuddle bug. You will just lean into us so sweetly.
• You are loud. You talk a lot and loudly. You also love to shriek. 
• You're finally getting in the crawling position. ( according to your father. I have yet to see it happen.) You're a pro at backwards scooting , so I have no doubts once you figure out forward crawling you'll be crazy fast.
• You cough. A lot. We're always worried about it , but the doctor says you're fine. You do it the most when you're excited or feel like you need attention.
• You don't like my music. haha. That's fine. You're daddy is proud that you like the stuff he listens to. 
• Daddy let you " play" his guitar the other day. You loved it. Maybe you'll be a musician ?
• You dance. I have no clue where you picked it up, but you sway side to side and recently you've added a little wiggle to the sway. Cracks daddy and I up. You're hilarious. 
• You gave your cousin Nick a kiss the last time we were down there. You just grabbed his ears and pulled his face to you and plopped a kiss on him. It was so sweet. 
• Although you don't like my music , you do sleep just like me. Blankets have to be tucked up right under your chin or else you will not sleep. 

I can't wait to do your next update at 9 months !! It's so fun watching you grow and learn new things. Although sometimes I wish you'd just stay little forever. You're starting to look like a little toddler and I can't believe we've already flown through half a year!!
