Half Birthday!

This month MiaJolie turned 6 months old! She had her Dr.'s appointment yesterday, here are her stats:
Length: 25.98 Inches (48th%)
Weight: 14lbs.5oz (9th%)
Head: 42.5cm (43rd%)
Dr. Strasser was thrilled with her progress and even amazed when Mia started nodding 'yes' to her from the exam table. (It also made the Dr. a little self-conscious about how much she must nod to patients/families :) Mia had her first baby food this morning- bananas. Here is what she thought:

yeah no big deal...not as good as pancakes!

Here she is sitting up- her face is blurry because she's still pretty wobbly.

She can get all the rings off- she is not concerned with putting them back yet- she'd rather chew them.

Ta-da!

Mia doesn't care much for rolling over (the Dr. said that was fine since she has pretty much mastered sitting up) but she does scoot around a bit while on her tummy or back. She loves to reach for EVERYTHING in sight in an attempt to get it into her mouth...she is at that teething stage where she drools a ton and is even a little fussy sometimes but no swelling/teeth just yet. She adores her brothers- they always make her smile and laugh. She is constantly pulling on them for attention (and they give it to her- too much sometimes!) She has been swimming quite a bit and loves to splash and play with toys in her floatie boat. She is mostly easy going as long as she gets food and attention when she wants (aren't we all!?) She is finally being a little less clingy- now that dad can give her a bottle she likes him too :) We are still nursing when at home but she LOVES having a bottle now too when we're out and about being busy.
Whew, this is a long post but a half birthday is kind of a big deal!
