6 Months Old

Tessa is 6 months old today. We had her doctor check-up this morning and everything is great.

She weighed in at 16lbs 11 ozs (75th percentile)

She is 27 inches tall (90th percentile)

The doctor said that she is acting more like a 9 month old developmentally than a 6 month old. :) She can roll from both ways, sit with a little support, and pull herself to a standing position by holding onto only 2 of your fingers. She said that she'll probably be walking into her 9 month appointment. Yikes!!

Her favorite things to do are "walk" around in her car walker, dance dance dance all the time, eat, pick up toys and throw them down only to pick them up again, and take walks in her stroller with Zayne. She is completely in love with him, her face lights up whenever he walks into the room. We have also been dealing with some stranger anxiety; she knows her Mommy and Daddy and definitely has a preference for us. She also doesn't want for me to leave her sight during the day, not even to go around the corner where she can't see me.

We have some new things to work on now that she is 6 months old. We are going to try to drop her night time nursing sessions (only 1-2) and work on trying to get her to go to sleep on her own :) We are going to start adding in a lunchtime meal and space out nursing sessions to 4 hours during the day. Otherwise we're right on track!
