Happy Half-Birthday Abigail!

Abigail turned 6 months on Wednesday. Yowza!

Feet!

Excited for her 6-month vaccinations!:

Speaking of, she did very well with the shots. She cried for all of about 6 seconds and proceeded to smile at the MA on the way out.  She slept a lot the next day or so, but otherwise had no issues. What a brave girl.  The rest of the appointment went great, she's still "petite" but everything else is perfect. The doctor is a fan of baby-led weaning (BLW), which is a method of feeding your infant that skips mushy purees and cereals and goes straight to real food!  I was planning on doing this anyway after 6 months so it's great to have the dr on board.

Here are the updated stats:

Weight (in pounds.ounces):
NB: 7.10
2 months: 9.3  (12%)
4 months: 10.13  (1%)
6 months: 12.06 (1%)


Length:
NB: 20 1/4"
2 months: 22 1/2"  (56%)
4 months:  24 1/4"  (40%)
6 months:  25" (16%)


So we started the BLW process with carrots.  The first attempt was a fail. She'd rather eat the high chair:


Yuck! What is this stuff!


So we tried again later.  Success!  Well, some of it got in her mouth I think:



Very proud of herself:


We also tried pasta:


And she shared my Mother's Day breakfast (pancakes):


Speaking of Mother's Day, my brilliant (and thoughtful) girl made me a card at school:



Ain't she the greatest?
