Nora-6 1/2 Months

Hey all, I thoroughly apologize for not updating the last 2 months. Nora has grown up quite a bit since then. She had her 6 month check up today and she's looking good. She weighs 14 lbs. 7 oz. (25th percentile) and she dropped in height from 10th percentile last time to 5th percentile this time-so quite the shorty. No wonder she can still fit in some of her 0-3 month clothes!

Unfortunately, we are both sick. This is Nora's 2nd cold and I am much less nervous this time around. She also might be teething. The nurse who gave her shots today told me her bottom gums look like they're bumpy-the way her sons looked before he got his teeth in.

Nora has become quite the little mover-rolling everywhere and starting to get up on her hands and knees. If we put her in a sitting position, she can sit for 10 seconds to a few minutes before toppling over. Not a proficient, but she's working on it.

She started solids in late January and we're going to try some finger foods soon. Surprisingly, Nora prefers vegetables to fruit. She's tried apples and bananas and we've got some unpleasant faces from her. By far, her favorite food is green beans.

My mom got to come and visit a few weeks ago, so it was nice for Nora to see her Nana again. She took Nora on a little shopping spree to get some bigger outfits and books. My mom even babysat on Valentine's Day so Justin and I could go out!
