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.
