6 Month Old Stats
We visited the doctor last week and Quinn received a clean bill of health… Too bad the Ped couldn’t foresee her first cold right around the corner. Anyway, she continues to sit at the 75th percentile on the charts for height, weight and head size.
Height: 26″
Weight: 18 lbs.
Head Size: ??? 75% larger than her peers
Other notable events and personality quirks:
She continues to refine her sitting-up skills and can technically sit up without the assistance of pillows surrounding her, but me being neurotic me, I still use the boppy pillow as a crutch. Along with sitting-up, she also now LUNGES forward. This move is made with no regard to her (hard) surroundings. In her mind it’s very simple, she see’s an object, she wants it, can’t reach by sitting still, so she lunges forward. While she no longer startles herself when doing this, she often lands in a very awkward position and quickly cries for some assistance.
Like many other babies, she absolutely loves TAGS. The bigger the tag the better. She’s got all of these toys and is often oblivious to the bright colors and plush fabrics. I’m thinking in investing in one of these.
She is fascinated with her dad’s head. Jake will rub his noggin on her belly and she shrieks out in laughter. She tries her hardest to grab ahold of the 1/2″ buzz cut asian ‘fro but luckily for Jake, his hair is just a wee bit too short for her grasp.
I sing ridiculous songs to her all day, but the one that is guaranteed to bring a smile to her face is this. I really stretch the song out by adding very odd lyrics: …The babies on the bus, they nurse, nurse, nurse… the babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa… the mommies on the bus, they shhoosh, shhoosh, shhoosh…
She L.O.V.E.S. peek-a-boo. And seriously, just saying peek-a-boo brings a smile to her face.
I honestly cannot believe 6 months has passed. Jake and I have so much fun with her, especially as she’s gotten older and has been able to interact and play more. The ever changing, ever evolving days of an infant… is there anything more fascinating than watching a human being develop???
