Olivia is 6 months already!

Wow, hard to believe my little "O Bug" is already half a year old! :)
Length: 25.25" (31st percentile, up from 25th at 4 months)
Weight: 14 lbs. 10 oz. (25th percentile, down from 40th at 4 months)
Head: big (not quite sure of measurement)

Olivia has been doing much better at her tummy time. She keeps her arms in close to her body, instead of "swimming" the entire time. She has now rolled over 7 times. Still only front to back, but she's really working on going back to front. She'll get it in no time. She's doing well sitting, so that is great. She's getting the hang of it, but is definitely NOT a pro yet. So far she has tried squash, beans, peas, carrots, bananas, and peaches. Peaches are BY FAR her favorite, and then squash. Next up on the list...pears! :) Once she is through trying all of the stage one foods (all she has left are pears and applesauce) she can move on to the stage two foods. I am excited for this because the stage one containers are smaller and she is a little piggie. Oh, the doc. did say she has pretty bad reflux, so we are trying something new. We are to thicken up her bottles with cereal, in hopes of weighing down the formula in her stomach, making it less likely to come back up. If this doesn't work after 2 weeks...Zantac. I hope it works. I really hate changing her clothes and doing her laundry every day. Let's see, what else...oh yes, she has two teeth now and is currently working on giving them some more friends. Ahh, teething. Gotta love it. Or not. I don't. That's about all I can think of for now...so here are the pictures!





Here you can see her band aids from her 4 pokies!

Glad I got to talk to you today! I do LOVE her sitting up pictures...such a big girl now :-) AND, I see you got the shape sorter thing. Does she love it? They always seem to love pulling things out of the magical box. See ya'll on Saturday!
