Quinn - 6 months old!

I know I say this every month when Quinn gets a little older, but man, I can't believe she is six months old! And since this post is a little overdue - I can't believe she is almost seven months old! We were gone for most of the holidays, and as a result we had a delayed doctor's appointment but here are the long awaited stats:

 

Weight : 14.6 lbs. (12%)

Height: 25.5 inches (28%)

Head Circumference: 17 inches (61%)

As you can see, she remains small for her weight, but she hasn't gone down in the percentile bracket, so the doctor isn't concerned. She is in the highest percentile she has ever been in for her height (WOO!) and she still has a big head for the rest of her body at least.

Since she was born her tear duct hasn't opened on her left eye and it has caused lots of goobers and at times has hardened and left her eye closed shut after waking up from a nap. Gross. I know. But it doesn't seem to bother, she still wakes up smiling, and I call her "Pirate Quinny" when that happens. Anyway, our pediatrician is referring her to a pediatric eye doctor to assess whether or not it needs to be opened by him or if we will continue to wait for it to open. Stay tuned for details.

Other than that, she is still quite the happy baby, and our visit back home for Christmas - she was a little more prepared for the chaos, courtesy of the previous visit at Thanksgiving. Her Aunt Amber even commented that she was a completely different baby this time - a much happier one, and less 'sober' this time. She loved watching her crazy cousins, and even made a giggle a time or two at the things they were doing. She especially loved when Grant acted like a dog, Quinn laughed every time! Here are some other fun facts about Quinn right now:

Wearing size 3-6 month clothes (3 months in Carter's), size 2 diapers.

Sitting up on her own.

Loves when someone sneezes, fake or real.

Hates solid food. Gags every time, then barfs...all....over...me. Yummy.

Really likes when people give her any attention, and smiles instantly. It's pretty cute.

No longer sleeping through the night, and wakes up once or twice. I blame the holidays and traveling, her schedule is all thrown off.

Says "dada" regularly, and in general loves to talk.
