Evie - 6 Months

Little Evie is a whole 6-months old.  She keeps growing, but don't worry!  She's still our little Evie doll!  We went to her 6-month wellness check today and she's growing well.  Here are her stats:

Weight:  17 lbs, 1.5 oz. = 67.83 Percentile
Length:  27.5 inches = 95.76 Percentile
Head Circumference = 10.73 Percentile

Everything is bigger than it was last time and that's what the doctor really looks for.  While the percentiles help to have something to compare to, the doctor says they aren't always spot-on accurate (especially because we had a different medical assistant do the measuring this time and she may not measure exactly like our usual medical assistant).  However, when I called to tell Beau the numbers and I told him about her length he said, "Can you say WNBA?"  Ha, ha!  We do have a tall little girly.

What is she doing now?

• She figured out the "ba" sound and loves to practice it constantly.  "Ba, Ba, Ba," is constant in her vocabulary right now.  Man, it's awesome to watch her learn and pick up on stuff.
• She's REALLY turned up the volume on her talking and it almost sounds like singing sometimes.  Dad thinks it sounds like an elk call.
• She's getting much better (and accurate) when it comes to holding her own bottle.  She'll hold it sometimes, but still leans on us to hold it most of the time.
• She sometimes falls asleep often with one leg in the air.  Serious.  I've got to get a picture of this! 
• She started eating rice cereal (Oct. 16).  She's getting more in the routine of it and is eating it fairly well (most days).  She'll get to start trying her veggies and fruits soon.
• She LOVES to watch our Codee Dog and she just started to recognize Codee's name.  We'll ask, "Where's Codee?" and she'll look right at the dog.  Smart, eh?
• She likes to play Peek-a-Boo.
• "Baby Blue" has just made it into her favorite song list.  Beau started singing it to her and she loves it so I like to say it's Beau's & Evie's special song.  I love this because baby blue really IS the color of her eyes!  Sweet!
• She just barely started rolling over both ways.  She's been able to roll from her back to her tummy and now she can roll from her tummy to her back.
• She can bear weight on her legs when held upright.  She loves standing up like a big girl!
• She just started to object if we try to take a toy away.  She knows what she wants!
• She'll work to get a toy that's out of reach and she'll look for dropped objects/toys.

She is soooo much fun!  We love this little doll face more than words can say!
