Six Months (and one week)

With grading and finals and travel and family I have been a slogger lately (that's a slacker blogger... obviously). Sorry about that...

In other news: Evie is the most oddly proportioned child on the planet. Her six month checkup was last Tuesday and here are her stats:

Weight: 13.5 pounds, 6th percentile
Height: 24 inches, 50th percentile
Head Circumference: 67th percentile

The pediatrician was a little bit concerned because her weight percentile had dropped from the 13th to the 6th percentile... but I promised that we feed the child as much as we can. She is just such a busy baby. All she wants is the be a part of the action, and it seems like she thinks that eating gets in the way of that... so unless you are in a quiet room with nobody else within earshot, Evie gets distracted.

Her personality keeps coming out more and more... and we are going to have our hands FULL. She is such a ham and really outgoing. It is so much fun to watch her interacting with other people.

Here is Evie before bath-time last week (Graham normally doesn't let me post naked-babu pictures... but this one got the OK because it doesn't show her hoohoo).


More to come on our SIXTEEN HOUR DRIVE to Atlanta this past weekend... after which I am just thankful to still be breathing.

I am with you on the proportion thing! lol Sydney's hight and weight are usually around 50% but her Head Circumference is ALWAYS 100% ++ hahaha her head is so big!! Hope your holidays are going well! Evie gets more adorable everyday! :D

I can't believe she is still so teeny TINY! At least you can more easily *pretend* that she is still a wee little newborn. :)

Glad you guys are getting a break to spend with your family!

Hey Ashley! It's Terri Schmitt, Bri Emery's Mom. She always shows me pics of Evie and she is so cute I even posted her pic once on my Facebook page! haha If it makes you feel better, Lacey's head was always actually OFF the charts as a baby! hehe Anyway, I'm loving hearing about your new life as a Mommy, and someday when I am a Grandma, the economy will rally and you will hear me shouting across the land. I am a baby FREAK! : ) Kiss Kiss! Love, Miss Terri
