New Firsts
Well Therese turned 6 months old last Friday. How quickly she is growing! At her doctor’s visit, she weighed 15 lbs 8 oz, and measured 26.5 inches in length. Those percentiles were still at 50 and 75 respectively. She has a small head though–it’s in the 25th percentile.
She’s been eating rice cereal for a week and last Friday she had her first vegetable–SQUASH! Yesterday she had her second–carrots–and she ate the whole jar of baby food. With all this real food comes poopier diapers. 
Cloth diapering isn’t as fun as it used to be now that it’s a little smellier. But she’s still doing great.
We started trying to put her to bed in her room. The other night she slept almost until 5:30 a.m. It was awesome. Slowly but surely.
She’s also ready to crawl. She sits up and rocks back and forth. She looks like a frog ready to leap. I supposed we’ll need to child proof very soon.
She has also mastered the sound for “m.” Quite frequently she’ll say, “uhmmmaamma.” I’d like to think she’s saying ‘mama.’ Who knows…but we’re working on the “d,” sound next.
