1/2 Birthday - 6 months!!

Yesterday was Elizabeth's 6 month birthday!!!  We celebrated by going to her 6 month appointment and getting two shots.  She did very well!

Weight - 14 lbs. 8.5oz  (25-50th percentile)
Length- 25 in
Head- 42 cm

To compare, here are her measurements at 4 months (no 5 month appt)

Weight - 14 pounds (50-75th percentile)
Length - 23.5 cm. (25th percentile)
Head - 41 (50-75th percentile)

Right now, Elizabeth has decided to do log rolls everywhere, instead of crawling.  She gets easily frustrated if something is in front of her and she can't reach it, so she rolls in a circle until she gets there.  EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, goes in her mouth.  I am wondering why we even bother to buy toys when the preferred toy is the remote control or my arm;)  Elizabeth eats every three hours now, and naps either two long naps a day or three short naps day.  She loves taking baths!  So far, Elizabeth has had avocados, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and bananas.  She is still not that interested in eating solids, and hasn't mastered the concept of swallowing the food yet.  Elizabeth loves putting her feet in her mouth, and at some point during the day she takes her socks off and chews on them too.  The doctor asked if she has stranger anxiety, she definitely does not, she is happy as long as someone is around and will let anyone hold her.  Music class has become a favorite activity, and she is very friendly to the other babies. In fact, yesterday we were at a friend's house, and she managed to make her away over the other baby and plant her face right on top of his. 

Here are a few pictures!
