Auburn, 6 Month's Old

Auburn has been growing and growing! We just went to our 6 month doctor's appointment. She is "above the 97%" for height, and her weight and head circumference are both in the 70's. She knows how to blow raspberries, wave goodnight, play peek-boo with a blanket, clap, and sit herself up. She can crawl, but mostly chooses not too, favoring scooting around.

I really like that she can clap now. When we're in the car and I want to know if she's awake or not I just say "Auburn, yey!" and she will clap her hands if she's awake. Instant baby-awake signal! She still is a very friendly baby and smiles at everyone. When we go through the grocery story, she sits sideways in the cart and will smile at everyone we pass.

She also loves taking bath's, and knows how to splash. She loves going for walks in her stroller. With all of the work going on over at our new house she has been exposed to lots of things that make interesting noises, her favorite is the paint cans. She will play with a *sealed* paint can for an hour.

We have discovered that Auburn like pea's, squash, apple slices and graham crackers. I thought that when we started feeding her solids she would cut back on her formula intake, but she is just growing to fast for that to happen! This last week she has learned how to hold her own bottle and will feed herself.

We are so PROUD of our little girl! Auburn is the EASIEST baby anyone could hope for and we are SO HAPPY to have her in our little family!
