6 months


A half a year old already! Our little pumpkin is 26.75 inches tall and weighs 16 pounds. That puts her in the 85% for height and 50% for weight. "Long and lean" is what the doc called her.

In the past week she has started sleeping a LITTLE better, waking up twice at night. Doc gave us his "blessing" to officially let her cry it out in the middle of the night. "Expect 2-4 hours of crying," he said.

2-4 hours??? I don't know about this...

Her two bottom teeth came in, and she is eating like a champ...her menu has expanded to a bit of table food. She can feed herself a "mum mum" (a large rice cracker), and today I gave her itsy bitsy cooked chicken for the first time. We were all eating and she just seemed really interested in it, so out of curiosity I gave her some. And then some more :) All this in addition to her baby food puree of fruits and veggies.

She is also sitting up on her own, which really makes things fun, especially when Ethan and Kate are around. They love to play with her. She is also grabbing toys, rolling over very well and can see me from several feet away. I know this because I make funny faces at her and she laughs at me.

Annabel was excited to come with me to the voting booths this past election day. She even posed with her sticker...
