Today I took Lydia in for her 6 month checkup. I can't believe it has been half a year already. Where did the time go? Lydia is generally a very sweet and happy baby. She will play by herself for a few minutes, but is really happy when people are talking and interacting with her. She is our social butterfly and loves to be the center of attention. She sits really well by herself but also loves to stand. We recently bought her one of those jumpers you hang from the ceiling and they can stand and jump in because she loves bouncing and jumping. She likes it as long as she is happy when you put her in, and if she has a toy to hold in her hand. She especially gets into it and thinks it is funny if we stand next to her and jump up and down while saying, "boing, boing, boing." Outside is still one of her favorite places to be and she loves every chance to go out; going on stroller rides, getting the mail, taking the garbage out, watching the birds, or whatever else is going on.
Having fun in her jumper.
Dr. visit stats:
- length was 26 3/4 in (85th percentile)
- her head measured in at 16 3/4 in (60th percentile).
- Lydia has always been in the 90th percentile for her weight, but I think all her activity is catching up with her. Today she weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz (she was 15 lbs 15 oz at her 4 month). That is only the 60th percentile. We did change doctors and our new pediatrician wondered if the two scales are slightly different, but she said to bring her back in about a month just to check and make sure her weight doesn't continue going down. Lydia is still very happy, still eats a ton (plus is still loving eating her solids), so I am not worried at all. I think she is just a lot more active now.
Lydia loved riding on this cute little horse when we got together with some friends.
