Let the Shopping Begin!
Wouldn't you know that Santa arrived at the Mall 2 days before Thanksgiving this year? Just in enough time to wish Ava and Bettina a happy 6-month anniversary. Well, since the girls were already dressed up for the holidays for our monthly photograph at the Picture People, we decided to sit on Santa's lap, too.
Stats:
Ava - 12 lbs 15.5 ozs (5th percentile of her peers), 16 1/2" head circumfrance (20th percentile), 24 1/2" long (10th percentile)
Bettina - 13 lbs 15.5 ozs (20% of her peers), 16 1/2 head circumfernace (20%), 25 1/2" tall (40%)
Favorite Toys/Games:
Ava - The ladybug and the Tiny Love wind chime on her activity mat, pushing the buttons on the walker
Bettina - They finally enjoy playing with toys and not just looking at them! The Johnny Jump-Up, the Tiny Love Wind Chime on her activity mat, the mobile above the changing table, loves, loves, loves to play peek-a-boo! Almost too big for the swing. The poor swing can't push her side-to-side anymore as she's too heavy for the battery-powered arm. Her favorite toy right now is her feet!
Benchmarks:
They enjoyed their first taste of solid foods (good 'ole rice cereal) the day after Thanksgiving. Because they both have colds, however, the doctor advised that they wait until their colds are over before they continue on a daily basis.
