Marissa is 6 months!

We have been working hard on the sippy cup and solids.  The pediatrician recommended having Kay try feeding Marissa.  She thought it might help Marissa think it was more "fun".  I have put my daughter to work and she has LOVED feeding her baby sister.  Marissa has eaten cereal, peas, bananas, butternut squash, and avocado so far.  Her favorites are butternut squash and avocado.  I am making her food like I did for Kay and she is enjoying it!  

The girls took their first bath together.  Marissa thought it was great to have her sister in the tub to entertain her.  There were a lot of splashes and giggles!

Marissa is really enjoying her bouncy seat.  She has figured out how to really make it go up and down and get a running start.  She bounces in the doorway while we eat dinner on the porch now.  She is also really enjoying the swing on the porch.

Marissa really wants to crawl somewhere.  She is getting really frustrated that she can't get where she wants.  She is able to sit-up a for a few seconds before toppling over.

Her doctor appointment went well.  She had her vaccines and woke up that night with a fever of 102 and some vomiting.  The after hours nurse said that was a possible side effect and sure enough, 48 hours later it was over.  Poor baby was miserable. 

Her six month measurements:
Weight: 14 lbs, 8 oz - 18% 
Height: 26 inches- 50%
Head Cir- 42 cm-50%
