LakeLynn: 6 months

Halfway to your big 1st birthday, baby girl! We continue to enjoy all of your new milestones & watching the beautiful little girl/sister you have become. You turned 6 months on March 19th but didn't have your check-up until March 29th. Stryker helped me take you; he's always excited to see Dr. McCain! Daddy had to meet us there since he was at work (yes, unfortunately, he had to work on Good Friday). You received 2 shots in each thigh & an oral medication. You only cried for a few minutes & then fell fast asleep. McCain said you looked great & didn't have to come back until your 9 month check-up. Baby girl, we love you & can't wait to see what's in store for our family of four.

6 month stats:
14 lbs 15 oz (25th percentile)
26 1/4 in (50th percentile)

You began eating baby food a few weeks ago (1x/day). There was no getting use to it. You were hooked from the first bite! You have tried several foods. You like green beans, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, applesauce, & carrots. You do not like bananas & peaches. We'll see what foods you continue to like & dislike in the future. Dr. McCain approved feeding you baby food 2x/day as long as you continue to have the same amounts of formula.

New this month:
*ready to play the minute you wake, no matter the time of day or night
