Are we related or what?

Ashley 6 months

Logan 7 months


6 month check-up

Ashley had her 6 month check-up today. She now weighs 14.12 lbs and is 26 inches long. The doctor was happy with this because she moved from the 10th percentile for weight to the 18th. She is still on the low end but she is moving up. The doctor also said to cut back on her milk and increase her solids. I don't know if I will cut back on the milk but I will increase her solids because she always seems hungry. This past weekend I started giving her cereal twice a day. Next week we will start with veggies.

6 months

Ashley is now eating cereal. She is not the biggest fan of it. We started off with rice cereal for the first week but after fighting with her for a couple of days we switched to oatmeal. She is doing better with it. Logan didn't really like the rice either but loved the oatmeal.

Ashley has been moving around a lot more lately. We will lay her down on the floor and not long after she has rolled over to her tummy and spun herself 180 degrees. She is really starting to get around. She is able to push herself backwards as she is spinning herself around. Sometimes she pushes herself into places she can't get out of (see photos below). Ashley loves exploring her little world and tries to get ahold of any toy that she can. Then, she proceeds to put it directly in her mouth. So I have been trying to keep a closer eye on what toys are on the floor and in her reach but Logan makes this process a little difficult sometimes. He likes to occasionally share his toys with his sister and gives her the toys I don't want her to have in her mouth.



We won't know how much she weighs or how tall she is until next week at her appointment. Hopefully she is where she needs to be since her growth curve was a little off last time and the doctor was going to see where she fell this time.
