Almost 6 Month Doctor's Appointment

Amelia had her six month appointment today, two days before her actual "half" birthday.  Everything went well!  Dr. Dave said she is very healthy and is right on track.  She continues to be very tall, but not keeping up with her weight.  The doctor said lower weight is common at this age and alerts us that she is ready for more solids and specifically more meat and fats (avocados as a heart healthy fat).  She weighed 15 pounds 12 ounces (45th percentile), measured 27 3/8 inches long (95th percentile), and her head circumference was 16.5 inches (45th percentile).  From everything I have read, by 6 months babies should double their weight and she did exactly that (7 lbs 14 ozs birth weight).  So, I'd she is perfect! ;)

See below for some pictures from last weekend.  We celebrated Olivia's 4th birthday and also had a sleepover at my friend Gina's house.

Fun in the bean bag chair with the Birthday Princess!

She's thinking she could get used to this. :)
