6-month Old Mia

Mia just had her 6-month check up. She measures 28 inches (99%) and weighs 19lbs (91%). A BIG GIRL! She is currently in 6-9 month stretchy clothes. The regular 6-9 month is a little short on her. She beat Aiden on the weight at 6-month but same on the height. Aiden was 17lbs 10oz.

Physical development:
Mia started sitting without support around 5-month old and but could only last 1 minute or so. But at 6-month, she can sit all by herself for a good 5-10 minutes. She only rolled over once after her first rolling at 3 months old and hasn't really showed more interest in rolling since then. She also starts grabbing toys around her and pass it from one hand to the other once a while. Her most favorite things to reach out are cell phones, laptop and Daddy's iphone. Sigh...

Sleep and eat:
She is down to 4 bottles a day and takes about 18-19oz/day. She also takes two solids per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She loves solid food and pretty much all the first stage baby food including baby yogurt. The only thing she isn't quite sure about is avocado for now. She sleeps around 14 hours per day. 10-11 hours straight at night and 3 naps during the day.

Social development:
She started stranger anxiety around 5.5 months but not to all strangers. She started to get attached to Daddy as she doesn't see him as much. She even cries sometimes when Daddy walks away. She loves her big brother and babbles at him when he is close to her. She also enjoys watching Aiden play.

Overall, her 6-month check up went great and she is developing on track and most of all, she is a very low maintenance baby as she eats fine and sleeps great and is happy almost all the time.
