Happy 6 Month Birthday, Audrey!

Happy 6 Month Birthday, Audrey! Audrey had her 6 month checkup on Monday. The following are her stats:

Length: 27 1/4 " - 95 th percentile

Weight: 15.13 - 50th percentile

Head: 43.2 - 75th percentile

The doctor said she looks good and continues to follow her line on the growth chart. She is consistently in the same percentiles for each category.

The major topic of discussion was food. As you can see Audrey is a lightweight. She does well eating her cereal, but introducing food has not gone as well. I tried starting her off with sweet potatoes because I read and have been told to start off with vegetables instead of fruit. They say if you start off with sweet, yummy fruit, then your baby might not eat the less sweet, yucky vegetables. Well, my doctor said do whatever works. So, I did. She likes bananas!

As far as the milestones checklist, Audrey meets all of them except talking. She is suppose to be able to make so many consonant sounds, which she doesn't. She just likes to shriek. So now I am constantly in her face saying, "da da da da da da da....," hoping she will catch on. I am sure one day, I will regret this when she says something to embarrass me=)
