Not Your Average Sized Peanut

Maya had her 6 month well baby doctor visit today.  She is healthy other than her rash that flared up again last night.  And she is huge.  For a peanut that started out in like the 5th and 3rd percentiles for weight and length it's extra crazy.  She's 18 lbs 2 oz.  That's just shy of 3 times her birth weight.  She gained 4 lbs in two months.  She's 26.5 inches long.  This puts her in the 83rd percentile for weight and 72nd for length.  Her head in now in the 92nd percentile.  The doctor commented on how strong and wiggly she is and wanted to know if she was crawling or pulling up yet.  Not yet on either but the last few days she has shown more interest in standing.  When Maya was immunized today, she was more upset that I was holding her down than she was about the shots.  She's was pretty much over it as soon as I picked her up.  But then got mad when we put on her clothes.  She was extra sleepy and clingy the rest of the day.  We spent most of the day cuddling in the rocking chair.

Tuesday, Maya tried apple sauce.  She wasn't really impressed.  Today she had apple sauce with oatmeal, that went over a little better.  Her favorite so far has definitely been the butternut squash.  I got an acorn squash we plan on trying after a few more days of apples.

This one is from Tuesday.  The poor rose didn't fare very well.
