6 Months



My goodness, how time flies. I swear, it just keeps going by faster and faster. Maren is already 6 months old! I took her to her doctor's check up today and she is developing well and is a healthy baby girl. She is 16 lbs. 12 oz. (65%) and is 25.8 in. long (50%). Apparently, she didn't really grow any taller in the last two months (she was 86% then). The doctor said that that's normal though. She also is a very good sitter, but doesn't roll over. The doctor also said that it's common (I learned that about 25% of babies don't roll before they are sitting), and developmentally, sitting is much more difficult than rolling, so he wasn't worried at all. That makes a mom feel better, ya know? We all want normal children. She is loving eating some solid foods. Others not so much. She squeals in laughter at her big sister and says "mom mom mom". Speaking of 'mom', she has become particular about who's holding her. That's good (makes this momma feel loved), but also very bad (she's been known to scream for babysitters and Grandmas and Grandpas). She loves her jumperoo and slobbering on toys. She is such a sweetie.
