Wow! I can't believe our Evelyn has already reached her 6 month birthday. She is growing so smart and strong and starting to do big girl things. She is also very ticklish now and has the cutest, deep giggle for such a tiny girl.
Here she is in the morning after a solid 5 hours of sleep looking happy and rested.
The start of the NFL season was a big deal for her. She was even ranked #1 for the first week in her football pool.
Go, Steelers!
The women in Eddie's office told him about a nearby consignment sale for kids. Eddie picked up this Baby Einstein jumperoo for less than half the retail price. Evelyn LOVES it.
We can even tote it around, and she is occupied while we cook dinner or get things done around the house.
She's such a big girl now that she got her first tooth. Just the top is peeking out, but you can definitely see it. She keeps running her tongue along it and still chewing on everything in sight.
Last Monday was her 6 month check-up. She is in perfect health and still our dainty princess. Here she is helping Nurse Emily type in the info. On a sad note...Emily is moving on to an awesome job at Vanderbilt and won't be at our pediatrician's office any longer. We were glad to have her for one last visit and are so happy for her and her new job!
Here are her stats:
length: 24.5 inches, 15th percentile
weight: 14 pounds, 15th percentile
head circumference: 10th percentile
weight and length: 35th percentile
She had a great check-up and only cried for 10 seconds after getting 4 shots. She couldn't wait to kick around on the crinkle paper some more.
She still loves playing with her toys and can almost sit up by herself.
We also reorganized her closet. All of the 3 month clothes have been put away. She is now wearing size 6 months. Here is her new fall wardrobe.
Too small clothes
Bye-bye small clothes. I'm a big girl now.
