Today Julia is 6 months old! I can't believe that I gave birth to her half a year ago. It seems like just yesterday. We had a doctor visit today and she weighs 18 pounds, 9 ounces and is in the 88th percentile. I was very surprised by this because she hasn't been eating very well. She was also 26 1/2 inches long and in the 67th percentile for height. I still think she is huge. She started wearing 12 month clothes a couple of weeks ago. The doctor said that she should start to plateau with her weight soon.
She is still breastfed, but started some solid food a couple of weeks ago. So far, the only thing she likes is cereal and peaches. We are planning to start weaning her to formula within the next few weeks because she has 2 teeth now and she bites HARD!
She also had an ear infection at her doctor appointment today, so we are giving her ammoxicillin now. That is fun because she hates all things that don't taste like breastmilk or peaches.
She is also mobile now. She can get up on all fours and will rock. Then she lunges forward to get to the toy that she wants. She can sit for at least 10 minutes without help and she can get into a sitting position all by herself. We can't believe that she can do all of these things already. We are still waiting for some babbling to start though. Right now, she just likes to shriek.
Julia, we love you so much. I can't even remember what it was like before you were born.
