Month 6 - March 2012

I am amazed that it has been 6 months since our lives changed so dramatically.  We've been through a lot that last month.  Here are some updates:

Merrie is now:

• Wearing size 2 diapers
• Wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes, but some 3 month and even newborn stuff still fits
• Can sit up by herself if put in a sitting position for a couple minutes
• LOVES tummy time :)
• Can roll over, and actually prefers now to be on her stomach
• Hasn't figured out that her legs can go underneath her yet
• Has tried green beans and carrots so far - both were successes
• Drinks 3 - 5 oz bottles of breast milk during the day, nurses every couple hours when I'm home
• Likes to splash during bath time
• LOVES her twin in the mirrow
• Can stand up without help from mommy or daddy, if she's holding onto something else (like the edge of the table)
• Loves to talk to herself or anyone who will listen

 Stats:

• weight:  14lbs 3 oz; between 10 and 25th percentile
• height: 25 1/2 inches;  between 25 - 50th percentile

In general, Merrie is growing by leaps and bounds it seems.  She is amazing and a great addition to our family.  We've decided to stay home this year and not travel at all - for a variety of reasons.  This will be really tough on me personally, but hopefully it will be beneficial to the development of our small family.
