Lemonscarlet: 6 month update

She can sit up all by herself! Almost exactly at 6 months. It is so funny how one day she totally can't do something and the next day she can. She is also saying DaDa and BaBa...sporadically. She weighs 15 pounds, 4 ounces. She went down to the 25th percentile for weight but 50th for height and head circumference.

She has a v ery short attention span and really gets mad if she feels like she has just been put down and left somewhere. We have to kind of trick her into it, like put her down or in her exersaucer and kind of mosey away, nonchalantly. Otherwise she yells, like immediately. High pitched, angry, loud. She yells about that the way that other babies yell when they have been very suddenly injured in some way. It is rather disturbing, but also kind of funny. It's like her feelings are hurt, but times 50.

She still has a bald spot on the back of her head from this little habit she has of vigorously turning her head from side to side about 20 times before she falls asleep. Hopefully that will go away. That and the little patch of hair on her lower back - yipes! (If only she could switch them...)

She screams with delight whenever she sees either of the cats and she loves her baths better than just about anything. She still is not really into sleeping.
