6 months! How this time flies by, as always! But it's been an absolute blessing with this little girl. I never imagined such a sweet addition to our family. We had her 6-month appointment yesterday, and here are her stats:
Weight: 12 lbs 14 oz = 3rd percentile!
Length: 24.5 inches = 6th percentile!
Head circumference: 16.7 inches = 50th percentile! (This girl has a big bean!)
We are so happy that she's consistently on the charts now, and her growth has continued well. The doctor was very happy, and doesn't need to see her back until 9 months. We have another follow-up appointment with the GI dr. at the beginning of November, during which I have expectations that they will say she's okay, and only maybe needs periodic follow-up or checking of her liver enzymes and such. Whatever the heck was going on with her seems to have subsided (or at least is being controlled through her feedings), so we're happy and crossing our fingers for now!
We started giving her some fruits and veggies, of which squash and pumpkin are her favorites. She's not a huge fan of carrots. We'll be making a big batch of various things this weekend, so we'll have a variety to keep introducing. She loves to eat, which is great because she'll fit in well with this family's food habits!
She's sitting up well by herself for short periods of time, getting better each day. She babbles like crazy - more than Preston ever did - so it's neat to see how her personality is coming through, and is so different from her brother. I think she's going to be even more of a spit fire than him...
She's just such a sweetie, our real tiny joy. Love her. :)
