Before I recap the past 3 months I thought I would catch everyone up to date on Penelope and her developments. On Sunday she had her 6 month birthday! We were traveling back from Seattle but made sure to give her extra kisses and sing her 'Happy Birthday.'
Today was her 6 month check up with the pediatrician and we are pleased that she is as healthy as can be. Here are her stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 14 ounces - 94th percentile
Length: 27 inches - 90th percentile
Head Circumference: 17 5/8 inches - 96th percentile
...yup, still a giant Penelope.
She can sit up unassisted, roll over, scoot backwards, and walk with assistance. She puts everything in her mouth to chew and drool on. Her Great-Granddad introduced her to the spoon which is her new favorite restaurant menu item. She is still exclusively breast-fed but we will be starting solids in the next few days. She is most happy when she is walking. We think she will walk before she crawls - turns out crawling isn't a developmental milestone anymore so there is no problem with her skipping it. We usually hold her hands while she stomps down the hallway but for Christmas Santa brought her a Radio Flyer walker. This video was taken yesterday and is of her walking without our assistance for the first time, needless to say we were amazed:
I cannot believe she is 6 months!! She is going to be so ahead of gabriel! And she is such a cutie. By far my favorite friend-baby. hahaha. Seriously, everything you post entertains me to no end! Love your family, Emma!!!!
