6 Month Update/Laugh attack

Skyler had her 6 month appointment yesterday. The doctor was very pleased with her growth. Here are her measurements..........

Head: 43 cm

Height: 26.5 inches

Weight: 17 pounds 4 ounces

She is almost in the 75% for everything. The doctor said she was very well proportioned :) She also kept commenting on how tall she thought she was for her age. I am very glad to hear that seeings how I have never ever heard the word "tall" in a doctor's office I have been in :). She is going to be starting stage 2 food (w/c has processed meats, and more interesting fruits and vegetables for her to try), and she will be eating like a big girl. She will get 3 meals a day with a couple snacks (bottles) during the day. She received a flu shot along with her regular vaccinations as well. She did very well with her shots. She only cried for a second, then it was over. She slept very well last night (9 1/2 hours), so we are hoping this continues with her new feeding schedule. Her next appointment isn't until April. We will keep you updated on her progress. Here are some videos of her taken about a week ago at Chad's mom's house. She was feeding her. and Skyler just couldn't stop giggling at her. It was great. Enjoy!

I LOVE baby laughs... everything is right with the world when you hear a baby laugh : )
Avelyn got the giggles really bad last week, she was so exhausted from all the holiday travel that she was slap-happy during dinner and wouldn't stop belly-laughing. I got food sprayed all over me!!!
