6 months!!

Satchel turned 6 months old on the 22nd and I thought I'd share some of her new developments. She's now 15 lbs and 25 inches long. She's still 50th percentile for length and weight and 90th percentile for head circumference. So, our little girl has a big head which we believe means that she's really smart.

You might remember that a couple of months ago we tried solid foods for the first time and got this response:

Since then, she's become very enthusiastic about her food, especially bananas, sweet potatoes, and avocados. She's not so keen on beets, but we'll keep trying. Here's a video of her chowing down some avocados.

Satchel has also become very adept at rolling and squealing. Notice the new sweater Satchel is wearing in this video knitted by grandma. Also notice how she's holding one of the socks that we try in vain to keep on her feet, but she insists on taking off.

And finally, Satchel has started to cut a tooth. Here are some shots of her with her new fruit teether. It's a little mesh bag that holds a cold piece of fruit for her to bite on without choking on little bits that might come off.
