6 month pictures

I am attempting to attach the link for Payton's 6 month pictures. The photographer managed to capture a few cute ones and she even sat up long enough to get some of her sitting. She is doing so much better with this! Riley wanted to have some pictures of both of them taken too, so what was supposed to be 6 month pictures also turned into pics of our girls:) We of course had to buy one of these too, but got it in black and white so their clothes were not quite as "clashy". Soon we need to go have a new family photo taken....the one we have up was from when Riley was 15 months old. Time for some updating! Hope this works...

Do they look alike?

People are always asking if the girls look alike. I decided I would post these just for fun and you can decide for yourself.

Here is Riley in December of 2006 (about 6 months)

Here is Payton in January of 2011 (6 months)

You decide...and perhaps I will try and take a picture of Payton in the same clothes that Riley is wearing:) Maybe not twins but definitely look VERY much alike!!!

6 months

Payton turned 6 months last Wednesday....I know....I am a week a behind! On Saturday she rolled over by herself for the first time and is getting pretty close to sitting on her own. She has tried all of the first foods and loves every single one of them. (Except maybe for avocado...) She continues to be a happy baby and is in LOVE with Riley! Her eyes follow her no matter where she goes. Once she starts moving, watch out Riley! She giggles lots and is starting to make some sounds. Payton appears to be a thumb sucker, although is not as attached to her thumb as Riley was to her fingers. She may also be starting to have some signs of stranger danger.

Today I took Payton for her 6 month check up and she is a very healthy girl! Doctor was very pleased with how well she is doing and has given her the green light to start trying some tiny finger foods. We will also start introducing some water in a sippy cup. She was a champ during shots and only really cried because she was exhausted. Tonight you would never have even known that she got 3 shots and the rotovirus "drink". Here is how she measures up:

18 pounds 9 ounces (90th %tile)
26 1/4 inches (66th %tile)
17.4 inches for her head (90th %tile)

She continues to grow although maybe it is beginning to taper off a bit. Just hoping that she can make it in her carrier until spring.

Here are some pics from today at the doctor.


And some pictures of the girls from the past week.
