Nona

I realize I never posted Nona's 6 month stats. Now that she's 7 and 1/2 months old, I think it's about time.

Height: 25 inches - 25th %

Weight: 15 lbs 4 oz - 35-40%

Head: 43.8 cm - 85%

At least she's keeping the trend of the giant heads.

We had her 6 month pictures taken a few weeks ago and they turned out so great! Here are just a few. 

 This is my favorite. Not smiling, but so precious with her big eyes.

 She got her first tooth the day after these pictures! That could explain the difficulty we had from keeping her hands and feet in her mouth.

What else is Nona up to? Well, for weeks she saw no need to crawl. She became a master roller. I can't tell you how many times Noel and I said, "How'd she get over there?" And she was fast! But, yesterday, she started crawling! She was desperate to get the sticky notes that were all over the floor due to Hazel's "craft time" and crawled army style to get them. She's still getting the hang of it, but is already crawling more than rolling.

She loves all food, but her favorite is beets. She is HILARIOUS with beets. She giggles, blows raspberries (what a mess) and begs for more. The Mother's Day Out staff love giving her beets. It makes them laugh.

She is starting to make some consonant sounds.

She screeches and squeals with delight quite often. She likes to have conversations where she makes a sound, you make it back to her, repeat, repeat, repeat.

She has 2 teeth and is working on more.

She doesn't play with any baby toys. She just crawls around to find anything (other than baby toys) to chew on: books, Hazel and Jude's play food, dolls, whatever.

I can't remember the last time I gave her a bath.

She is such a great baby and I can't believe how fast she's growing and changing!
