Mary Martin turned 6 months old on Saturday! We went to the doctor today. Since I didn't have her stats, I saved this post for today.
Our little princess is 15 pounds, 9 ounces (50%) and 27 1/4 inches long (90%!!). She is long and lean just like her brother was. Her head also measures in the 50%. She is progressing right on track.
MM can sit up on her own now and enjoys watching her brother and especially loves watching the dogs lately. She is starting to get frustrated when a toy gets out of her reach. She will start rocking forward and thinks about how to get it. She will work on crawling very soon we think. Mary Martin has two teeth on the bottom. And we are grateful that is all for now. It was pretty rough getting those in.
After initial failure with squash, she has gotten the hang of the food thing. Well if you can call it food. Peas and sweet potatoes have both been big hits. The pictures of her eating are from tonight and are our first adventure with sweet potatoes. Check out her cute outfit - thanks to Meme!!
On the whole, she still sleeps well. She wakes up about one night a week and just needs a little comforting before she goes back to sleep. We call her the Princess because she is on her own schedule but likes some things a certain way. She wants warm to hot bottles and wants her peas and other food warm as well. We (OK me) are adjusting to the fact that she just does not want to be on a routine. This is completely the opposite of James who was all about a routine from about week 3.
I love the photo of her in dad's big hat. I know it is a safari-type hat but it made me think of Scarlett O'Hara for some reason - a big antebellum hat. Something about the way it is tilted I guess. Our little princess...
We had some six month photos made of MM this weekend so stay tuned for the link to those photos. We took about 400 and probably 40 will be good and 5 will be great.
The only other tidbit about MM is that lots of people have told us lately that she has my eyes. What do you think?
