6 month check-up

It just dawned on me that I didn't give an update on Gabby's 6th month check-up.  She weighed in at 15lbs and 26 inches long.  That puts her in the 25% for weight and 50 for height.  Her doctor, Michelle, says she is growing approprately based off her previous measurements.  Her wieght and lenght is growing gradually, which they like to see because it showes a trend of being less likely to obese than those who have rapid weight gain in a short about of time. 
Here's some of Gabby developmental milestones:

• Begins to speak single (hard) consonants, like "dada" (sorry mom!).  
• Rolls over both ways (front to back and back to front).  
• looks for a toy dropped out of sight.  
• Has no head lag when pulled to a sitting position.

• Smiles, laughs, squeals and begins to imitate sounds.
• Can be content in a playpen for a while playing with one or two toys.

• He mimics facial expression and sounds.
