Gigi's 6 Month Update
She is a rolling machine. She wiggles away across the floor or crib by rolling side to side. Once she decides what she wants, she is on the move and there is no stopping her.
She is very close to sitting up independently. She can sometimes do it for a while, but you never know when she is going to topple.
He favorite thing is to suck on her left them while holding my hair in her right hand.
She is tiny and sliding down the growth curve to 10% for both weight and height, weighing 13.1 pounds last week.
She seems to have realized that she and I are separate people, which has also meant that she is very unhappy about left alone in her crib. Sleeping-wise, this has been hard on everybody this last week.
Still no teeth, and I like it that way because her gummy smile is just so cute.
Throws up on everything still, but it seems to be not quite as much as before. But still, nothing is safe. She throws up on people that hold her at church every week. Her spit up is more noticeable after she's eaten brightly colored baby food, such as carrots.
She loves to feed herself Baby Mum Mum rice rusks, which are basically starch surf boards as baby snacks. It is difficult to eat anything with her nearby, as she will try to grab it.
She's getting up on all fours. I don't know how long it will be until she figures out army crawling.
It's so cute when she sticks her toes in her mouth. That usually only happens on the changing table.
Overall, her skin has been great! She has one tiny patch of eczema behind her left knee, but the rest of her looks and feels like normal baby skin.
She continues to have a wonderful, fun temperament, but we see a lot of hints that she is stubborn and impatient. Those are all qualities that can serve her well.
She loves to grab things and put them in her mouth.
She seems to really respond to music. She has been seen "bopping along" to piano arpeggios.
She has found her voice, and it is a loud one. Before we compared her cute little noises to Gizmo. Now Nick calls her a pterodactyl.
She smiles when tickled, but doesn't usually laugh. We guess she's just thinking, "That's so funny."
