Sadie is 6 Months

Last week Sadie turned 6 monhs old! She has grown and changed VERY much in the last month! I took her in for her 6 month well visit and she weighed in at 18 lbs 3 oz which puts her in the 90% for weight (her doctor likes to refer to her as being very "healthy" :D ) She was 26 1/4 inches long which put her at about 80% for height. She has learned many new things in the past month! She can now sit up on her own for longer stretches of time (but we still keep a pillow behind her for when she does lose her balance!) She can roll very well and often she will roll from one side of the room to the other to get to a toy or Sophi. It will not be long until she is crawling! Speaking of Sophi, she absolutely loves her puppy and Sophi loves her. It is great to watch Sophi lick Sadie and hear the sweet laughs that come from my baby girl. Sadie enjoys playing in her jumpy play gym and watching Mickey Mouse Club House or Agent Oso. At 6 months Sadie has her two middle teeth on the bottom. She is enjoying  using her new teeth and eating skills that come along with them to try new foods including carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, apples, and bananas. Now she is also learning how to feed herself little puff cereal pieces for babies and drink water from a cup. Sadie has also become more social and loves to watch and play with other babies and kids. She absolutely loves when we get to my sweet friend Lydia's house! Lydia has 3 wonderful kids and her youngest is a baby girl named Emery who is only 4 months older then Sadie (and despite their age difference they are about the same size!). The two of them already love to play together and Sadie also enjoys watching the older 2 kids as well! I cannot wait to see all this next month holds for Sadie!
