Addie's 6 month appointment

Today Addie went to her 6 month appointment with our wonderful Doctor.  We go to a family doctor in Camas, the same great guy that delivered her at Southwest Washington Medical Center. She checked in today at 15 pounds 7 ounces and 26 inches tall.  She is 50th percentile for height and slightly less than 50th for weight.  She hasn't gained much weight since her last appointment, only about a pound.  He said she is doing great and has no concerns about her growth.  He doesn't need to see her again until 9 months, which will be the end of March.  
She is teething like crazy, but no teeth yet!  She can roll from her back to stomach very easily and does that all the time!  She can roll from her stomach to her back, but she doesn't do that as frequently and that's a new skill.  She can also sit up by herself, but only for a few minutes.  She gets excited and flaps her arms like a bird, we think she may fly away one of these times.  Addie is eating baby food now.  She eats dinner every night and either a breakfast or lunch depending on how hungry she seems.  She loves everything we have given her!  She is not picky...imagine that!  We are so blessed that she is a healthy and happy baby.  Sometimes I still look at her with such amazement that she really is a SHE!

This confirms my belief that Harper is a little chunk (but I love her for it). She weighed in at 15.5 at her 4 month....she'll grow in to it right?

Go Addie Go! That is great she likes all sorts of foods. We are still having texture issues with Davis at 15 months! Ohh and don't give up on blogging :)
