6 Months

Maggie has come so far this past month. It was like one week she was still a 'baby' baby and now she is a 'big girl' baby.

Maggie's developmental milestones this month include:

• Height 27 inches; weight 17 lbs 4 oz
• Wears size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothing
• Still sleeping through the night, although the week her teeth came in she got up several times at night
• Bottom two teeth came in, the bottom right came in 12/17 and the second popped through 12/25
• Started eating solid food 12/24. So far she has eaten rice cereal and oatmeal - and she loves both! Maggie definitely enjoys her food.
• Started sitting up on her own at the beginning of the month.
• Spent 12/21-23 with the Rainer's for Christmas and spent 12/25 with the Witham's (my mom's family)
• Has started to lunge for toys and scoots herself backwards - next month's milestones may include crawling!

Our little girl continues to be such a joy to us. She has a sweet personality and adapts well in new situations. She loves to squeal and 'talk' to you. Being a mom is the most precious gift, and I pray that I never take it for granted.

Had to taste one of these blocks, the one in her mouth says '6' :0)

Yummy! So excited!

That was tasty... I did get some in my belly too - promise
