6 Month Check-up

I cannot believe that my little angel is already 6 months old. She is such a joy. I cannot imagine life without her. She brings smiles to so many people. Matt and I are so fortunate to have such a healthy, beautiful daughter. Laura Elizabeth went for her 6 month check-up today. She had to see Dr. Peters because Dr. Huie is on vacation. Dr. Peters thought that she was absolutely adorable. She said that Laura Elizabeth was perfectly healthy. LeLe weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz (60% percentile) and was 26 inches long (75% percentile). She said that Laura Elizabeth could officially begin Stage 1 foods. The goal would be to have her up to 3 meals by 9 months. She also mentioned that we could begin introducing a sippy cup. I know...I am not ready for that...so it will have to wait!

Laura Elizabeth has accomplished so much in the past few weeks. She is now eating (actually just playing) with food, sitting up, growing teeth, and trying to crawl. She hasn't mastered the crawling. She does know how to scoot on her belly though. She loves any kind of toy. Especially the furry ones that walk around our house (Sadie and Boomer). I amazed that she can find a tag on any toy. She especially likes putting the tags into her mouth. She loves to stand (with support).

She really ate her food for the first time tonight. Tonight's menu featured oatmeal with peaches. I bet she ate 3 oz! As you will see, she was wearing some too!

Happy 1/2 year Birthday Laura Elizabeth!
