Ruby is over six months old now! She is growing up so fast. She can sit up by herself really well now, though she does tumble over if she reaches too far for something that catches her eye! She had her six-month check-up on Nov. 18, so here are her stats from then:
12 pounds, 5 ounces (3 to 5th percentile)
24.5 inches long (20 to 25th percentile)
head circumference = 43 cm (75th percentile)
So, she's growing well, keeping steady on her growth pattern, and her head (brain!?) grew like crazy! :)
We've also started feeding her baby cereal, but she doesn't really like the flavor yet. We've tried rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, and even a little bit of squash. She gets really excited when she sees her Bumbo seat (which is where she sits when we feed her), but none of the foods have met her approval yet--despite being made with mostly breastmilk. We'll keep trying, and eventually she'll get the hang of it... right?
Well, there were some other exciting events in November, but we'll have to write about them later. I just wanted to make sure to get her six-month info up before she turns seven months old! Here are a few cute shots for the road.
