Happy 6 Month Birthday, Ali!

Ali turned 6 months old today!  She shared her half birthday with my mom's birthday.  Happy Birthday Mimi!

We took Ali to her 6 month doctor's appointment this morning.  She had a great checkup, but the shots were harder this time.  She definitely felt the pain, but we were able to give her a bottle right after the shots so she settled down quickly.  Many kids have reactions to shots and may be fussy or develop a low grade fever that day, but Ali's teacher Miss Kyndal said she was even happier than usual today smiling and laughing.  I'm SO thankful for that! 

Here are her 6 month stats:
Weight: 16lbs, 5oz (60th percentile)
Height: 24.5 inches (10th percentile - she may be a shorty!) 
Head Circumference: 43.2 inches (75th percentile)

I was looking back through the pictures of Ali we've taken to document her growth.  I can't believe how much she's changed!  I remember thinking my little girl was really cute, but I definitely think she's gotten cuter and cuter as she's grown.  Of course, I'm completely biased in my opinion.  She's also showing so much more personality these days, laughing and babbling. I think we have a talker on our hands!  Last Sunday, she hit another milestone: she started sitting up by herself!  Ali is growing up so fast!  Here's a look through the half-year.
