our little lady is 6 months old.


miss daphne celebrated her 1/2 birthday with 10 hours in the car in route to CA. Happy birthday! yesterday we visited the doctor for more shots and her well-baby check. she is doing great! I was SHOCKED by the stats- she has def had a growth spurt! her 6-month stats:

weight: 16.5 pounds {55th percentile}
length: 27 inches {88th percentile}
head circumference
: 16.5 {25th percentile}

so, it turns out that midget parents CAN have normal-sized children! Up till this point, daphne was always in the 25th percentile all around but now she is one of the tallest kids for her age. Crazy! My mom was like this too- tall for her age as a baby and they predicted she would be like 6'1 or something. thankfully she wasn't, she is 5'5. so i'm sure daphne will even out quickly. she is so much fun, more fun everyday! we love hearing "mamma" and "dadda" and seeing her struggle to crawl (she is now rocking on her hands and knees) is so much fun. i love watching her figure stuff out, it's awesome.

Man I miss you guys. Please come soon. I can't wait to eat Daphne's face. Tommy keeps asking about Superbaby (his nickname for Daphne, you know.) Hurry up!

And just to set the record straight, Mom was ONCE may-sured at 5'4". ONCE! She has been 5'3" for as long as I've known her. And to further depress you, I have always thought I was 5'6 and 3/4, but last year I was measured at 5'5" and 7/8. Shortness is her birthright.

Is Daphne slighty advanced in her development? It's a bit hard for me tto track Emmry cause she was so early. She's almost four months but we should only expect her to be at the level of a 2 1/2 month baby.

yeah Sarah, daphne was actually in the womb for 12 months so she is doing what a nine-month old can.

the reality- she had a lot of time on the floor and learned quickly how to do things. she rolled at 14 weeks and has just been going non-stop since then. it seems like she is always a month or two ahead of schedule now. if there is a "schedule"
