Willa had her half birthday! Our little miss is 15 pounds, 1 ounce (lower than my rough at home estimate, I'm terrible at those!) and 27 1/4 inches long. This puts her in the 24th weight percentile and 93rd (!!) height percentile! The doctor says she looks great, is hitting all of her developmental milestones, and was surprised that she already has two pearly whites! We are very proud of how well she is doing.
This month has been marked by lots of new discoveries and adventures:
Sporting a Moroccan outfit from her godfather
She can stand for a little while after we prop her up! The doctor recommended no more than 15-30 minutes of standing time a day for now, but she definitely impresses me with her balance during that time!
Why buy expensive toys?
She has also recently discovered that she, like many other little ones, loves the tags on things. She can spend a nice long while chomping away at one, as seen here with my nursing pillow. Forget those musical toys and ones with moving parts, she'll take a tag every day of the week!
Can I help you?
Finally, she also discovered that super attractive baby in the mirror that likes to follow us around. She started to try to kiss it, and in this picture she seems to be letting me know that she is a little busy at the moment! I don't blame her, she is quite kissable :-).
Willa continues to amaze us every day with how fast she is growing, and how much she is learning. We couldn't love her any more!
Willa has two loving and nurturing parents that contribute to her awesomeness. You guys are doing a great job as 1st time parents. Of course the genetics are good too!
