6 months old!

Where did the month of April go? It seems like I was just posting Audrey's five month picture, and now she is already 6 months old. 6 months, that's just crazy! We had her 6 month appointment today and celebrated by giving her more shots! Poor girl, it almost seemed like she knew they were coming this time. She has turned into quite the chubby little girl in the past few weeks and weighed in today at 15 lbs, 11 oz (48th percentile). She was 25 3/4 inches long (62nd percentile). Six months ago, she looked like this:Now, she looks like such a big girl:

And a few more picures from our 6 month photo shoot today.

Check out my chubby belly!!

Audrey is extremely active and observant these days. She wants to grab, pull, hit, scratch, squeeze and taste everything she can get her hands on. Every time she hears Maggie's feet on the wood floor she is looking around trying to find the dog. Maggie has become one of Audrey's favorite things, and I'm pretty sure that her first word is going to be Maggie.

Audrey can sit up for a few seconds at a time, but she hasn't quite mastered being able to sit up on her own yet. We also think she is really eager to crawl. If she is on her belly and sees something she wants a few inches/feet away, she works so hard to get herself there. She has this move that we call the Inchworm (see the picture below!). She will push her legs up, so her bottom is sticking up in the air. Then she plants her face in the ground and pushes with all her strength. When she straightens back up on her belly, she has literally moved about an inch. It is a lot of work to move such a tiny distance...but this little girl is determined! The other day, in an attempt to get a hold of the remote control, she moved almost 2 feet by using the Inchworm move!

Finally, here are Audrey's Raggedy Ann pictures from the past few months, so you can see how much she has grown: one month, two months, three months, four months, five months
