Half a year old! What an awesome 6 months it's been. We love this little girl more than anything in the whole world. We can't imagine her not being a part of our lives! She has two teeth now and the pediatrician said that her upper gums seem a little swollen; so those little top teeth could be coming in within the next month. Harper loves to smile and she's really starting to laugh at everything. We play Peek A Boo and she gets so excited and laughs when you scare her.
Harper sits up very well now. She doesn't really like to lay on her back or tummy. She immediately tries to roll over. She is so squirmy and wiggly. We can't imagine when she starts to crawl, she'll be all over the place! She really likes her exersaucer and her bouncy seat that hangs from the doorway. She jumps and kicks her legs like crazy!
Her height and weight are the same as last month; 27 inches long and 17.5 pounds. The doctor said she will start to even out with all the movement she's going to be doing. Harper is eating really well and is loving solids. She's had carrots, sweet potatoes (her favorite), pears, apples, avocado, bananas, peas and squash. The pediatrician said that she can start eating meats, beans and yogurt now. We got her a sippy cup so she can drink water with her food. I'm still breastfeeding, so she gets most of her nutrition through that. I am still having fun making her food and using the Baby Bullet. I look forward to finding a new fruit or vegetable each week to mix up and give her. I've even gotten some recipes for different combinations of foods to try.
Last month Nicole, Tiffany and Harmony all came to visit and play with Harper. We took her to NatsFest at the National Harbor one Saturday. She also got to go to her first hockey game. So much excitement in one month! It's been an exciting 6 months and we've got many more things planned for the next 6 months!
