6 Months
I can't believe 6 months have gone by since Fiona was born. A half year! She is such a joy to be around. For the most part she is a happy baby and full of smiles. She has her moments of fussiness but it normally doesn't last too long. This last month has been full of all kinds of discoveries. We started solid food on Christmas, she has so far enjoyed food. She has tried; sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, butternut squash, corn, bananas, and tonight was peas (she wasn't too sure about the peas, she ate them, but so far not her favorite). Its fun watching her try all the different foods. She often tries to "help" feed herself and those nights food ends up everywhere! She also likes to drink out of a cup. Every time I take a drink of something she is reaching for it so that she can have some too, its so cute! We tried the sippy cup tonight, and she went to town with it.
She is also working on sitting. She can't get into a seated postition on her own, but we often play with toys or books while sitting. Now she can play with her toys while sitting on her own.
She also loves to stand. She loved to stand up while holding on to me hands, so I figured I would let her try standing holding on to other things. So now we play with her interactive book while standing (she likes it better standing because she can reach all of the things to move and push). The book goes on her ottoman, and she stands next to it playing. Today I took her over to a friends house for a playdate and she was standing up playing with some of the toys.
I really enjoy watching her discover new things (like her feet! Playthings that are always there!). We got locked out of the house the other day and while waiting for my brother-in-law to come by and rescue us we walked around the neighborhood and checked out the trees and flowers (the flowers unfortunately never stood a chance). She loves to touch things; she pets the dogs, plays with my hair, etc.
I can't believe how much she has grown in the last 6 months, we have her 6 month check up on thursday so we will find out her height and weight. She was in the 50th percentile at 4 months so I'm curious to see where she is now. Its so hard to believe she was born at 32 weeks.
