Malia at 6 Months

Malia at 6 Months

Wow, a lot has been going on since Malia turned 6 months old. Her 6 month appointment went very well, stats are written below. We learned that it was time for her to venture into the world of baby food. We knew the doctor would have us start her on rice cereal, but we were overwhelmed when she told us to start baby veggies and fruit, finger food puffs, and even start introducing the sippy cup. Holy cow, where to begin? After sitting down with my good friend Traci and having a written menu, I think I am ready to start introducing baby food. What would I do with out my family and friends. :)

She has been a busy 6 month old...
New things she can do this month
- Rolls from tummy to back & from back to tummy
- Sitting up by herself (she tips over every once in awhile)
- Holds her bottle by herself (until she doesn't feel like doing it any more)
- Eating rice cereal like a champ
- Introduced to squash, wasn't a big fan at all. (pictures to follow)
- Introduced to peas and absolutely loves them.

Stats from the 6-month checkup
- Height 28 inches (97 percentile) She just might be my little volleyball player. :)
- Weight 17 lbs 13 oz (75 percentile)
*She is one healthy baby girl, thank you God.


Loving her rice cereal


Eating like a Koch


Not liking the squash at all


I tried to sneak in squash with her rice cereal...she didn't fall for it.


Holding her bottle by herself

As you can see she has been pretty busy and she just turned 6 months on December 12th. Her daddy and I think she will be crawling in just a week. She gets her knees under her but then doesn't know what to do after that. Personally, we hope she won't start crawling yet, it's nice to put her down and not have to worry or chase her around the house. However, I think it's time for us to baby proof the house because it's just a matter of time.

We will keep you posted! Happy New Year.
Love, Wes & Jaime
