Sofia at 6 months

It's hard to believe that Sofia is already 6 months! I took here in for her checkup today and here are her stats:

• Height: 27.5" (97%)
• Weight: 16lbs 14oz (80%)
• Head: 42.75cm (80%)

Here are some things that she is doing:

• rolls over both ways (tummy to back, back to tummy) and moves around the house by rolling.
• sits alone for up to minute.
• has almost gotten up on all fours twice.
• loves to "talk", especially to other babies.
• loves to look at herself in the mirror.
• reaches for and grabs anything and everything that she's close to.
• started waving a couple of days before Christmas.
• reaches for mommy (she's VERY attached to mommy).
• smiles and laughs all the time, but especially at her siblings.
• has a stubborn streak and a firmly resists doing things that she doesn't want to do. Don't ever play chicken with her, she will beat you. ;o)

4. He can fold and put away most of his laundry.
5. He is pretty good and fairly accurate when throwing a football or baseball.
