Miss Manners Would Have Something to Say About This

Tummy Time

We can't believe Grace is six months old! She had a checkup yesterday and the doctor says she's doing great. She's up to 15 1/2 pounds (still on the medium/low end for her age) and 27 1/2 inches (still on the really high end). All solid foods are quickly ptooeyed but she drinks 35-40 ounces of formula every day. She's sleeping 10-11 hours each night, with two naps each day (although she had a brief stint last week where she decided she didn't need an afternoon nap, with complete disregard for the fact that her mother needs her to nap). Anything within reach ends up covered in slobber. And she smiles, laughs, and chatters nonstop. Happy six month birthday, little girl!

The Peanut really dislikes being on her tummy, but it's great for building her neck, back, and arm muscles. The donut pillow helps prop her up so she can stand it a bit longer. This photo is about two minutes before meltdown.
