Six Months Old!

Today is Mya's very first half birthday!  6 months old?  No way!!  It only seems like yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital!

Here are some things you might want to know about our little pudge-a-roo! 

*When she's tired and getting her last bottle of the night, she'll put her hands on her head.

*She's an expert at giving slobbery kisses!

*She laughs at the craziest things.  Sometimes nothing at all will make her laugh hysterically.

*When she's sitting, she rocks back and forth with so much force that she'll sometimes get onto her knees.

*She's as calm and mello as can be.

*She is a lover of food and we haven't found anything she doesn't particularly enjoy.

*She doesn't like heat and humidity and gets cranky if she's in it too long.

*She is a people watcher and loves other little kids.

*She likes music and will kick her legs and bounce around when she hears it.

*She is easily entertained with fingers and toes...yours or hers, it doesn't matter.

On Monday we had her 6 month check up.  She now weighs in at 17 pounds, 5 ounces (75-90th %ile) and is 27 inches long (90-95th %ile).  So, Mya continues to grow, grow, grow!  Mya has a new pediatrician and we met him for the first time yesterday.  He gave us a lot of great ideas...like it's okay for Mya to try regular milk and how to get her on a better sleeping pattern.

and the after with her battle wounds.

Amazingly, Mya did so well with her shots.  She cried as the needle went in, but then it was just a little whimper.  Almost like it was an attention-seeking cry.  She toughed it out, though!
