All About Abigail - 6 months

At 6 months old, Abigail:
- 25.5" long (50th percentile) and 14 lbs, 10 oz (25th percentile)
- Has her first little tooth coming in - when looking at her, bottom front left
- Eats around 32 - 36 oz of formula a day and has oatmeal or rice cereal twice a day
- Wears size 6 month clothes, however in the last week, they became a bit small - she's in between sizes
- Loves being naked. She is going to be so happy this summer when she can wear less clothes!
- Hates wearing socks - all socks are taken off immediately if she can get them off
- She gets impatient in her chair now - she would rather be playing on the floor on her stomach
- She immediately turns over to her stomach when placed in her crib. sometimes it is a battle of her rolling over and crying, but she eventually just gives out, 99% of the time on her tummy
- Sleep: Goes to bed around 7:30 - 8:00, is given a late night bottle at 12, and eats around 5:30 to 6:00, and sleeps again until around 8:00 or 8:30. (YAY!)
- She really watches everything around her now, and reaches for EVERYTHING. She loves feeling different textures.
- She has a fake cry that she does when she is mad. She did it at the doctor today. Fake cry = no tears!
- When she laughs really hard, she gets the hiccups.
- Her laughter makes my heart melt.
- She loves pulling on my hair and her daddy's hair.
- Her skin is SO much better than it was - all soft and clear. Her forehead gets broken out sometimes because she rubs it so much while on her tummy - you can tell in the pictures!
- Her hair is getting THICK. It is coming in kind of blonde - I hope it stays dark like mommy and daddy's!

Ok, pictures at 6 months:

I hope you don't mind, but I love following families as I am a wife with two children (both boys). It's nice to see what other families are up to out there in the world. Plus, when I get a little Mom time, I like to read (and sadly, it's usually on the computer). Our little ones are about the same age. She is absolutely adorable, and it sounds as though she well on her way!

GORGEOUS! Seriously! :-)
Sounds like time to get that girl on more solids! She'll quit taking so much of that expensive formula and *might* drop a late night feeding :-) She's a HUNGRY HUNGRY girl! HA! So funny cause the most Rhyan has EVER eaten (bottle) is 28oz a day and that was during a growth spurt! And Rhyans HUGE! While Abbey eats tons and is TINY! HA!
She'll love all her solids, i'm sure!
