6th month check up!

Melanie is 6 months old!!! Thats's half year.. she has grown so fast. I took her to the dr today and here are the stats...

At birth: 5 lbs 11 oz
17.5 inches long

At 1 month: 7 lbs 1 oz
20 inches long

At 2 months: 8 lbs 4 oz
20 3/4 inches long

At 4 months: 10 lbs 15 oz
23 1/4 inches long

At 6 months: 13 lbs 3 oz
25 inches long

Life goes by so fast thats for sure. Melanie is now rolling everywhere, sitting a little, eating solids, picking up toys and playing with them, laughing out loud, etc. She has made our lives so wonderful and she has made her sister the happiest big sister ever. Life cannot get any better than this and I thank God everyday and Matthew for sending us Melanie.
Her doctor was so suprised on how strong and advance she is for being a preemie. She saw her rolling and standing up while holding my fingers and she was very happy to see how healthy she is. She got 4 shots which bled a lot but she got over it quick.
She goes back at 9 months.

She's such a little peanut! And yes, the time is flying by way too quickly! I wish there were a way to make it stand still...
