6 Months

Wow! 6 months seems like a milestone and should be celebrated! We may not have had a big ole party, but Aubrey got her first tastes of nummies thanks to her nanas and papas. Nana B introduced her to ice cream, and she loved it; while celebrating Papa Mousel's birthday she got a taste of frosty, which she gobbled up as well.

When looking at her stats it might seem that all we feed her is nummies, but no she is just a healthy, growing little girl.

Height:  27 3/4 in. (97th%)
Weight: 18lbs (82nd%)
Head: 17 1/4in (82nd%)

Daddy got to bring Aubrey to her wellness check this time around, and he said she was a champ. Taking 4 shots including the flu shot, which we will have to go back in a month for the booster. Barbie said she did fabulously at daycare after the appointment as well. Other than a lingering, slight fever that night, Aubrey seemed to take her check-up in stride.

A couple developments this month include:

*Sitting up completely on her own for long periods of time. She will reach and play sitting up. If she falls over it is normally forward because she is reaching for something. Because she sits up so well, she very rarely is on her tummy so no crawling positions or moving of the like.

*She is now eating "num-nums," the wafer like food that dissolves easily. She can feed those to herself and really seems to like it.

*Aubrey is now sleeping in her crib without the swaddler. Most times we find her snuggled up at the top of her crib on her tummy.

*No teeth, but has shown signs that they are moving around in there. She battled a pretty bad diaper rash for most of the month. The only thing that seemed to alleviate some of the redness was the Dreft bath, even though she was slathered up with Desitin, Triple Paste, or Butte Paste the entire month!!

*Continues to love her excersaucer, the birdies that hang in her infant carrier, and the pacifier as her favorite things to play with.

*Lights up when anyone walks in the room, but she especially loves her big sissy!
