Sittin' Pretty

Hi everybody!  I went for my 6 month well visit today and everything looked really good!  I am now 16 lbs., 26.3 inches tall, and my head is 41.9 cm.  The Dr. says I am right on track.  I still battle with the eczema so the dr. said mommy could use some cortisone cream on the bad patches, but will hopefully all go away in a few months when the weather warms up.  Cant wait!  I did much better with the shot this time than I thought I was going to do :)
Right now I am eating solids twice a day (cereal in the AM, and peas for dinner).  The Dr. said I can have solids 3 times a day and to let me eat as much as I want! WOO HOO!  I did have squash mixed with cereal for the first time today for lunch, and it was really yummy.  Mommy is going to keep me on squash for a few days before trying the next veggie in case I am allergic to something.
I can now sit up like a big girl as long as mommy and daddy put me in that position.  I do catch myself sometimes if I am about to fall over and can bring myself back to a sitting position.  The Dr. said I will be able to put my self in a sitting position in the next 2-3 months. 

Other things I am doing at almost 6 1/2 months:
 - When laying on the floor I can get up on my knees and push myself forward to move around.
 - I am still rolling over like a champ!
 - I can prop myself up on my side, (mommy calls this my model pose :))
 - I love to look at jewelry and play with mommy's ring, necklace, and earrings
 - I am still screaming to hear my voice, and become really vocal when I am tired
 - Sitting up on my own
 - Walking backwards in my walker
 - Love to eat my cereal in the AM
 - Moving into #3 diapers
 - I wake up in the middle of the night now and cry for a bit, but then I roll myself over on my tummy and go back to bed until morning
 - Go to bed around 9pm and wake -up between 7 - 7:30am
 - Still sleeping with my swaddle but only from the chest down as I don't like my arms wrapped in anymore
 - Still watching Baby Einstein every morning and Your Baby Can Read 1-2 times a week
 - Love to laugh at my dog Abby!
 - I do not like to get dressed
 - Still love to take baths
 - Everything I get my hands on goes straight to my mouth
 - I can now move a toy from one hand to the other
 - And for the first time today I raised my arms when mommy picked me up

Sittin' pretty :)
