The Big 6....months that is...




I just can't believe our sweet Lila is six months old!!! I'm a couple of days late on this post- she turned six months old on Saturday! I waited until today because she had her six month checkup this morning. She weighed 15 pounds 12 ounces and is 25 inches long. She is in the 50 percentile for weight and 40-45 for height. Her overall health is great. Dr. Smith says she definitely has some allergies, but he is trying to hold off a few months before putting her on daily medication. As you can see in one of the pictures above, her nose runs A LOT! Bless her heart, but she doesn't fuss about it.
For those of you that are around Lila much, I don't have to tell you what a great baby she is. She has exceeded any expectations or visions I had of what she would be like. She is so laid back and happy. She never fusses unless there's something really wrong, which is not very often. I think any parent would be proud to claim her! I just love her so much!!! At times having three kids can be a little overwhelming, but I just can't imagine life without Lila!
The first picture above is of Lila in her bouncer, which she LOVES!!!!! This is where she spends the majority of her day! She bounces, bounces, bounces, and then bounces some more! Unfortunately, her bouncing is getting so vigorous that her head is nearing the floor, so the bouncing stage is almost over! She also loves her swing and her excersaucer, but not as much as the bouncer. It's her favorite!
Lila is a healthy little eater, loving her vegetables and REALLY loving fruits. Today she started on meats (yuck in baby food form). She had chicken and pears which she seemed to like pretty well. She also loves her bottle and holds it well on her own now. She also loves her paci! Addi and Levi never cared much for theirs, so this is her special thing! She wants it all the time and has mastered getting it back in her mouth on her own now. She still isn't quite sitting on her own, but that will come in her own time.
Well, that's all for now. I'm going to try to print up this post to go in her baby book, so if you like, leave her a comment!
