The last time I wrote Mike was about to start his 4 week paternity leave. Well guess what? He goes back to work tomorrow! We blinked and a month went by..........even worse, we blinked and our baby turns 6 months tomorrow! How is that possible?????
Gwen had her 6 month doctor's appointment on Friday. She is 26 inches long (50th percentile), 18 pounds (90th percentile) and her head is in the 97th percentile. At least she is growing all around, at the same rate. She is kind of built like a "bobble head". She has these tiny feet/ankles (like me) and this big head. It's funny, but she is ADORABLE!
Gwen has experienced a lot in the past 4 weeks. She has rolled over from her back to her front, she now sleeps on her side, and she touched her first snow (she did not like that at all). She can grab smaller items with her thumb/first 2 fingers and can change hands while holding an object. Our next big milestone is trying to get her to sit on her own. The doctor says she is strong and it should be soon, but that head has to be heavy to hold up!
Our new routine begins tomorrow. Mike is gearing up to go back to work and I am preparing to get up early to begin going to the gym regularly. We are in the process of selling our house. Gwen starts daycare full time, so we are not looking forward to her getting sick! Other than that, we are just getting used to raising this amazing baby!
I have updated my photos with a new album titled "Spring 2009". This is where I will be posting pictures of her. Keep checking back!
Off to read "New Moon". I have to thank Amanda and Jen for getting me addicted!
