...a banana

It's hard to believe that my little girl is six months old. Yesterday, actually, was her six month birthday. Today she is 26 weeks old. So, half a year old either yesterday or today, depending on how you look at it.

She's such a joy. I can't really describe it... She has just brought so much happiness into our lives. When I come home and see her and see her smile when she sees me, it's just an incredible feeling.

She's an extremely happy girl; she rarely cries at all, and when she does, it's normally for only a brief time. She's been going to day care twice a week since the beginning of February, and the day care staff have really only heard her cry once.

She's also getting big. We took her to the doctor yesterday for her six month visit, and she weighed about 15.5 pounds and was about 27 inches long. That puts her at the 90th percentile for height and about the 45th for weight. She's working hard on forward motion, and is starting to make a little progress. When she gets on her tummy she can spin herself around different directions pretty quickly.

Well, I just thought I'd share a little update. Goodbye!
