Maleah sits up on her own

It only took Maleah a week to figure out how to hold herself up. I think she was really ready to be able to sit up and play with her toys without using the bumbo, which she didn't seem to like anyway. Here are a couple of shots of her in action!

No more toothless grin

Maleah's two bottom teeth finally broke through and you can see them well! I cannot believe she is already getting teeth. She is growing up to fast. I want to keep her small. Now that she is getting teeth she is really enjoying her food and chewing on everything in sight. So far the only veggie She doesn't love is green beans. The first couple of times I gave them to her she would scrunch her face as if I gave her a sour candy. It was really funny to watch!

6 month stats

Well, it's in! Maleah had her 6 month appointment today. She is...

22lbs (99%)

27in (90%)

She is a perfectly healthy girl!

Also, today she cut her first two teeth! I cannot believe how much she is changing. As soon as they come in enough, I will post some pictures.

Maleah is 6 Months Old

Dear Maleah,

You are 6 months old today. You have brightened our lives with so many smiles, giggles and squeals. I cannot believe that you only entered our lives 6 months ago as it feels like you have always been a part of our family.

Here is you right after we got home from the hospital:

And, here is you now at six months and over 2o pounds:

To date, here is what you have accomplished:

-You roll over both ways and are able to grab toys

-You love to jump in your jumper

-You have started drinking juice from a sippy cup

-You have started solid foods. So far you have eaten rice cereal, oatmeal, squash, carrots, bananas and prunes. You don't seem to mind whatever it is you are eating as long as I shovel it in fast enough. You are extremely interested in food and will grab at anything that you can reach. I think, if you had the chance you would be eating even more!

-You have found your voice. You love to squeal and talk to us. You especially love to squeal at brother because he cries about it hurting his ears.

-You pretty much sleep through the night. You go to bed around 6pm and sleep until 6am with only one waking at 3-4am. You are a great sleeper.

-You love to interact and play with your brother. No one can make you laugh and smile like Noah.

Well, my sweet baby girl, I am enjoying every second of watching you grow. I love our cuddles, putting bows in your hair and watching you experience the world. Happy 6 month birthday.

I love you!

Mom
