The saying is true….time flies when you’re having fun! We can’t believe our little baby is already 6 months old. Makena gets more fun as each month passes. She’s talking all the time, starting to occasionally repeat what I say (ba ba), sitting perfectly, standing on her own with something to hold on to, reaching out to grab anything in sight, playing with her feet, holding her arms out when she wants to be picked up, using both hands to hold her bottle/sippy cup and rolling over a lot from belly to back. Her strength is amazing…she’s managed to break 2 of my necklace and pull many earrings out of my ears. Painful, but impressive:) In the very near future, Makena will have a few more teeth and be learning to walk. I'm convinced she's going to skip right over crawling.
Makena’s 6 month check-up went great. She’s very healthy, weighing in at 16 lbs 3 oz (50th percentile) and 26 3/4 inches (80th percentile). She has gained exactly 10 lbs since she was born and her Dr says she looks perfect!!! Once again, several shots had to be given. Ryan wasn’t able to go with us, so Grandma had to be the brave one this time. Makena was a real trooper….but she doesn’t know that she has to go back in a month for the 2nd part of her flu shot:(
