6 Months of Cuteness

Happy Half Birthday to Avery Lynn!!

She is a lot of fun these days. She is interacting more and more with us. She still loves her big brother. You can always count on Caden to get her to smile and laugh. She is still eating rice cereal but is also adding vegetables to the mix. She has had carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes so far. She isn't the biggest fan of them at the moment. She would much rather blow bubbles after I put them in her mouth so she covers herself, the high chair, and me in orange. Nice huh. She is close to sitting up unsupported but she topples over at the moment if you let go of her. She is eating four times a day now and napping two longer naps during the day and one shorter one in the evening and then sleeping at night from about 9:30pm until 7:30ish am. I can't complain. From her 6 month doctors appointment we learned that she is still long for her age, measuring 27 inches (80th percentile) however she isn't quite as high in percentile for weight. We kind of expected this since she is looking very long and lean. She weighed in at 13lbs, 15ozs (8th percentile). The doctor wasn't concerned, saying that she is getting the nutrition she needs since we see her gaining weight, and her head circumference and height look good. Plus Caden did the same thing and slowly climbed back up in percentile. She is a happy and healthy little girl. Here are some recent pictures.

She is an absolute HAM! Here she is showing you all her tricks as I try to get some photos. I thought these turned out really funny. And you've gotta love the last one. There's no way I could have planned that.

Gotcha!!
