6 Month Update

We had Zadie's 6 month check up today.  It was my favorite visit to the pediatrician to date.  We talked about all the great foods we can give to our little Z and had tons of questions answered.

Q:  Can babies be allergic to cats and dogs?
A:  No.  Babies don't develop allergies until they are two years old.  Looks like we get to keep Iz for another 2 years without worry.  Yay!

Q:  Can we feed her beans, yogurt, hummus, oil, butter, spices, citrus?
A:  Yes.  We are SO excited to start making some more interesting food for Zadie.  Don't worry, we'll be careful not to overdo it.  We are going to start small, maybe make a little carrot ginger puree.

Q:  How often should we feed Zadie?
A:  The goal is to feed her three times a day, but start with two.  Tomorrow morning Zadie and I are going to share some greek yogurt for breakfast.  I think she's going to love it. 

6 Month Stats
Weight:  14 lb 2 oz - 14 percentile (what a skinny mini!  doctor gold said it's okay, but we're going to start feeding her solids twice a day starting tomorrow)
Height:  28.3 inches - 97 percentile
Head Size:  41.9 cm - 31 percentile

She now enjoys playing by herself. 

She taught herself to sit up on her own.  She's so very proud of herself.  I love it. 

She made her way to the edge of the rug, sat up, and smiled. 

Then she discovered her sock.  She played with this thing for 25 minutes, I kid you not.  She was laughing up a storm and so was I.
