Month: November 2012

Our growing girl went to the pediatrician for her six month well-baby check-up last week.  She weighed in at 15 pounds, 1/2 ounce (30th percentile), and measured a long 26 1/2 inches (70-75th percentile!).  In other words, she is a lean, mean pooping machine.

Rebecca now sits without support, which thrills her.  I think she likes the new view of the world and how it enables her to play with her toys differently.  She also gets around pretty well using a combination of rolling and scooting maneuvers, and I can’t imagine it will be long before she starts crawling.

We introduced Rebecca to solid food a little over a month ago.  She is a pretty good eater.  Her favorite foods include apples, avocados, and butternut squash, but it seems like she will eat pretty much anything as long as there is enough fruit mixed in to make it sweet.

Finally, she is talking up a storm.  All incomprehensible baby gibberish, of course, but still totally adorable.  She comes by her chattiness naturally.
