6-month update

Jason took Isabella to her 6-month well check-up this week. Here are the latest stat's for our darling girl:

Height: 26 1/4" (75th percentile)
Weight: 17 lbs, 5-oz (75th percentile)
Head: (10th percentile) -- Still a peanut head

Isabella has four teeth, the two bottom front, two top laterals. I detect something on her gums where the front top teeth will be although nothing has broken through the surface yet. Given this mouthful of chicklets she wants to chew on everything and is often full of drool.

Bella is rolling over (back to front and front to back) and rocking back and forth on all fours - it's amazing how much she can move from where she starts. One would think crawling is right around the corner, however her latest fascination has been standing. She holds on to our fingers and pulls herself up into a standing position at which point she smiles, a mixture of pride and amazement I think. Isabella can also sit on her own for longer periods before losing her balance and rolling off to one side or the other.

She's been introduced to all her veggies - so far she's liked everything. She is a great eater and gobbles down mouthful after mouthful. We'll start to introduce fruit this month.

Nothing close to mama has come out of her mouth...although we think she's said 'Hi' and daycare has reported her saying 'Baby'. Mostly she just babbles and blows spit. She's a pretty quiet girl most of the time, it will be interesting to see if this characteristic holds true as she gets older. She is a little sweetheart this much is true.
