Kalea had a doctor's appointment on Thursday. She is on track with all of her developmental skills, rolling over, discovering how to use her hands, and sitting up for 20-30 seconds at a time. She is in at least the 85% range with her size with the exception of her head which is off the chart in size. our daughter has a huge cranium. This was no surprise to Aja since the last time she went shopping for hats for the little girl, even the 1yr old sizes were a little snug on her - she's only 6 months old. Aja held back laughs at the dcotor's because she knew that Kalea's dad has a pretty big head on his shoulders, so she knew exactly where that came from. So we're hoping she develops a strong neck on her shoulders to hold all the weight she's carrying up there.
She now weighs 17lbs 12ozs and is 25in long. She has slowly been getting new tastes of food including banana, zucchini, and butternut squash. We are trying to hold back a little on her curiosity with food because it seems her little body isn't all the way ready to handle that food. We were feeding her food twice a day, but are looking at limiting that to once a day & letting milk be her primary source of nourishment. She loves eating from a spoon though, and she now leans forward in her chair when we bring the spoon up to her. She's a very funny lady. The only taste that she seems to not be crazy for so far is prunes. She rocks her head back at the first taste of them and sways it back and forth like she is saying "no". The girl knows what she likes, and doesn't hold back in letting you know what she doesn't like.
