Happy 1/2 Birthday!

I can't believe our baby girl is 6 months old today! What an amazing 6 months they have been! She is now sitting up unassisted and as of today has her first tooth! It broke through the skin overnight - her front bottom left. She went to the pediatrician today for her 6 month check-up, got three shots and an oral vaccine. She weighs 16 lbs 7 ounces which puts her in the 50 percentile for weight. She is 26 1/4 inches long which is the 65 percentile for height. And her head is 17 inches around also in the 65 percentile. She's doing fabulously - her breathing is all cleared up, she is so active (The nurses asked - "Does she ever stop kicking those legs?" The answer is, "No, never!"), she is sitting up well, rolling over to get what she wants, inquiring about everything around her every minute, putting everything in her mouth and laughing all the time. She is definitely waving on purpose - when Andy came home today, she gave him a big unmistakable wave. She is talking up a storm babbling all the time in all octaves with many different sounds. She is now sleeping on her tummy at her own choosing - we put her in the bed on her back, she immediately turns to her side and sometime in the course of her nap or the night she turns to her tummy. She's woken up on her tummy nearly every time in the last week. Our little Georgia Bulldog - future tailgater!

These were my unsuccessful attempts at getting a tooth shot. Really, it's hardly noticeable at this point. You can feel it but the tooth has just broken the skin.

She was lurching for the camera. She tries to get everything out of our hands - particularly food. This week she has tried to get sandwhiches, chips, drinks, forks, you name it...

Close up.... I promise more tooth pics to come when I get a better shot! She hasn't been fussy or iritable at all so far. Hopefully it will continue like this with them all!
