SIX MONTHS

So Yesterday was Lizette's six month birthday. It has seriously gone by so quickly, it just seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.

Lizette had her six month check up on Tuesday, she weighs 18 pounds and is 27 3/4 inches long. So she is in the 100 percentile for height and 80 percentile for weight. And the doctor said that I could start feeding her solids if we wanted. Tyler has been looking forward to feeding her solids for a long time. He has been just waiting for my go ahead. I finally told him that, we could start her on rice cereal on her six month birthday. Tyler wanted to be the one to feed her solids for the first time. She did great. She would have this look on her face like what are you feeding me, but she would continue to eat more. She ate a good amount. (The doctor warned me that I can't feed her too much of the rice cereal or it will make her constipated. Valerie also called and warned me that the baby will cry and be very fussy if she is constipated...and that scared me more than the doctors warning.) (The doctor also warned me that Lizette will be crawling in about two weeks...AND THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING OF ALL)

Lizette also got two really good gifts for her birthday. First, The Office season premiere, which was pretty funny. But her favorite was seeing her cousin Chloe. She loves playing with her, and touching her, but Chloe is too fast for Lizette. Don't you worry, Lizette will be able to follow her around the house in no time and then they will be fighting over toys...It is so much fun to see Lizette interact with other babies. She seems so fascinated by them. Well over all it was a good day.
