6 months

Mia turned 6 months on April 22 but we had her 6 month doctor appointment today.

Mia Kathleen

Weight: 14lbs 15.7 oz ( 24th %)

Height: 2' 3.5'' (94th %)

Head circumference: 17.52'' (92nd %)

Clothing: 6-9 months

Diapers: Size 2

Food: Breast milk and rice cereal

Developmentally, Mia is doing great. The only area to watch is her verbal skills. She makes a lot of noise but isn't saying consonant sounds yet (ex: ba, ma, da, etc..). We are working on these sounds so I'm sure she will master them soon. Mia's ears are looking better but still not 100% healed. We have another appointment in a month to monitor how they are doing and also to check on her head circumference. Our Pediatrician wants to keep an eye on Mia's head circumference since it has grown quite a bit since her last appointment.

Mia's has learned so many new things in the past few months. It is so fun to watch her grow.

• Her favorite toy is her stuffed fish and fish bowl.
• She can sit up all by herself.
• She loves peek a boo.
• She has discovered her toes and loves to suck on them.
• She loves to give and receive kisses.
• She likes to go on walks and runs in her jogger stroller.
• She thinks her daddy is so funny and needs to be able to see her mommy at all times.
• She sleeps worse now than when she was 3 months old. ( I blame the ear infections.)
• She has had 3 ear infections in 2 months.
• She loves to laugh, yell, squeal and smile at anyone who is willing to watch.

Mia's Great Aunt Renee and Great Uncle Gary came over last weekend to visit since they were visiting Colorado from Arizona. Once Mia got over the fact that her mommy isn't the only person that can hold her, she had a lot of fun!

Renee found the perfect position and Mia was so relaxed that she eventually fell asleep.
