6 Months


Maia had her 6 month check-up. We are grateful that she is healthy and that she is developing well.


Here's the update on her stats:


Weight: 16 lbs. 10 oz. (52%)

Height: 27" (88%)

Head Circumference: 17" (48%)


She is a great crawler and has said her first sound that includes a consonant. She now says "bda." She has also started to put her hands up on higher objects and kneel. She hasn't quite pulled herself up yet. She also has her upper two teeth in.

This video is of Maia enjoying her Cheerios. She usually sings through her meals and it's no different when it's snack time with her Cheerios.



MAIA'S FAVORITES

Foods: Cheerios and applesauce

Stories: Playtime Peekaboo, Baby Loves Peekaboo, The Sneetches, The Zax, The Cat in the Hat, Too Many Daves

Toys: Yellow bus with different wooden shapes/people (thanks to cousin Autumn), her purple snail chime that hangs from her car seat, Snack Trap with Cheerios in it, the baby wipes package (because it crinkles), the TV remote, and the computer modem with all its glorious lights (we have to hide that one)

Songs: The Wheels on the Bus, The Royal Duke of York (sung by Aunt Amy), Indiana Jones Theme Song (whistled or sung by daddy), Good Morning to You!, I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home (in Spanish)

Daytime Activities: Bath time, being outside, pulling the crib bummer off after a nap

Things that Maia wishes she could have: computer cords, paper, cell phones, a way to the other side of the mirror

I sing when I eat too, Maia. Especially ice cream.

so cute! Ican't believe how much she can do! She seems so much older than JAckson! I don't think he has favorites . . . although he does really want the cell phone, laptops and ANY books that are not his age appropriate! She is so grown up!
