Ok, so kept meaning to update the blog, but nothing super exciting has happened, and then I said I'd do it next week and so on until it's now been 6 weeks...has is it really been 6 weeks? Guess so, well Avery hit 6 months last week, but it seems like that went way too fast.
She had a few firsts during the past 6 weeks so I will record them here for posterity:
- On 29th of August she rolled from her back to her front and became an ambi-roller. She can now roll from front to back and back to front, she just hasn't figured out that if she linked them up she'd become mobile.
- August 31st, we took her swimming at the Mardyke for the first time. She seemed overwhelmed at first but was soon kicking away.
- September 10, first solid food, baby rice. Since then she has had banana, carrot, butternut squash, and a jar of Sunday Chicken Dinner, apple and banana breakfast, and fruit medley custard. She loves food, and so far has not disagreed with anything we've given her.
- September 18th the bottom two teeth have broken through.
- September 20th, 6 months old today and she was weighed and measured as part of a study we're involved in. She is 15 lbs 3 oz (6.9 kg), just below the 25th centile. 25.5 inches (64.8 cm), just above the 25th centile. Head circumference is 16.6 inches (42.1 cm), which is between the 9th and 25th centile. All of which means she is growing at the correct rates as she was 25th centile in all three things at birth.
Other than Avery news, Andrew graduated from college, with a BA in Economics and Politics. Nothing exciting has happened for me yet but I'm hoping I'll have a job soon, but in the meantime I'm studying for the boards so we can make the move to the States. And I can't find the charger to my camera so I haven't been able to take many good photos lately, but I'm on the search...
