6 months

Mia had her sixth month checkup today. She did exceptionally well, only cried during the shots and for about a minute afterwards. As you can see in the picture above, she sat up all by herself while Miss Linda weighed her. The official stats are:

Weight: 16.1 lbs-65th percentile

Height: 27 3/8 inches- 93rd percentile! she shot up



She meets all of the current developmental skills milestones, and is almost true crawling. She figured out last week to get up on her knees, she just needs to master actually moving her hands at the same time to avoid scooting backwards. Still just one lone tooth, but I'm in no rush for her to have more. She seems to have inherited our seasonal allergies, no shock there, and we're still fighting to keep the eczema in check. With diligent maintenance it's not been too bad since the johnson's lavendar incident. Unfortunately for Georgie, Mia is infatuated with her, while Georgie does not share that sentiment yet. The other day, Mia had wriggled & rolled from one side of the living room to over where Georgie's bed is, and had thrown her arm over the bed to try and touch her. Georgie just looked at me with pitiful eyes and growled in her direction.

She's getting so big!
