Finally - an Update!


It has been over a week since Emer's doctor appointment and a week and 3 days since her 6 month birthday. So I guess I better give you all an update! Well here you are, facts and pix just for you:
First the Facts:
Height - 27 1/4 inches (90th percentile still!!!)
Weight - 15 lbs 4 oz (50th percentile still)
Head - 16 1/2 inches (just under 50th percentile still)
Foods - She has been eating rice cereal for nearly 3 weeks now and oatmeal for over a week. The doc recommended we try different grains, one a week, then mix them before we move into veggies. After veggies we can try fruit. Funny enough, if a kid aquires a taste for fruit they are less likely to enjoy veggies which is why veggies should come first. We are still on oatmeal, though.
Conclusion - She is continuing to grow at the same rate which is good. If we see a growth spurt in one area but not another or a slow down in one area then we worry, but as she's the perfect baby, there is no cause to worry about anything!
Now the Pix:

Over break we also went to visit Great Granny:

Here's just us girls, hanging out on a cold, snowy day!
And to conclude, she's just so cute when sleeping:
Happy New Year!!!

So cute!!!

The veggie vs fruit debate... both of my kids completely skipped grains and started with banana. :) But I follow the path of the crunchy types...
