6 MONTH ELLIE STATS, in no particular order:
- 17 lbs., 2 oz. (she dropped to the 75 percentile), 28.5 in. (um...off the charts!)
- She is sitting up without any help -- this makes grocery shopping so much easier, as I can just plop her in the cart and both of my hands are free. This also makes bathtime more fun for her as she can sit in the big girl tub and play in her floating toy land.
- She can stand up if she is holding onto something for brief periods of time.
- She can roll front-to-back, back-to-front quickly and like a pro. No more leaving her unattended on the bed, etc.
- She hangs out on her tummy quite a bit now, but still shows no interest in crawling (which is fine by Mom, at this point!)
- She is almost certainly teething as she drooly, drooly, drooly. Also, she gnaws on her hands and anything that is in her path. Baby Motrin is our nighttime friend.
- She is a Chatty Cathy. Her favorite consonants are "Ba ba ba" and "Ga...ba." She still loves trilling spit in the back of her throat too.
- She is still attending physical therapy, and her neck muscles are getting much better. Although the PT said, "Well, now both sides of her neck muscles are a bit tight...I think it is just because she is so...active and wants to grab at everything." Yes. That would be our Girl.
- Her reflux seems under control, and her appetite is fantastic now! That is certainly a relief, although considering her size, she was never in the "failure to thrive" category, now was she?
- She is obsessed with the cats, and desperately wants to be their friends -- particularly Thomas'. However, she expresses this by lunging and shrieking at him, and also by lurking over him in her jumper while he eats. He is not ready to make a commitment to her yet.
- She is growing up too quickly.
