At 6mo2wks she is now 14lbs 11oz, 25in long and in the 49th percentile. Small for her age but height and weight and perfectly proportioned (like mama).
She can sit unassisted for long periods. Eat from a spoon or with her fingers. Take a regular bath in the tub. Pull herself to sitting without holding on to anything. Roll front to back and back to front. Pull her self to standing holding on. She can grab and whack her toys. She can spin in her exersaucer. She can open and close lids and flaps. Take steps holding on. She can hold a toy in each hand. Scoot on her back or hold herself up on her belly. Drink from a bottle, boob or sippy cup. Blow air through her lips, stick out her tongue and blow raspberries.
She's learning things like crazy too. Milestones are funny because you wait and wait for them to do something and then you move on to waiting for the next thing. It's usually not until I spend time with a younger baby that I realize how far she's come. For example you wait and wait for them to notice their toys, then we wait for them to reach, then grab, then whack and throw, play by themselves and hopefully someday clean up their toys. It's amazing to see the moment they figure it out. The best example is the moment in every House episode when he realizes the answer. Babies have those A LOT at this age. What a fun time, too bad we grow up with no memory of it and start taking things for granted.
