Our week has gone by fairly uneventfully, but Diana did get her weigh-in at the hospital. She’s 15lbs 12oz, which puts her in about the 10th percentile for weight (she’s the weight of the “average” 6 month old). Her height is in about the 30th percentile, but her massive head is in the 90th percentile. So she may be petite, but she got a melon the size of the average 1 year old! No wonder she can’t crawl yet, she’s still too top-heavy!! She’s actually been a little cranky this week, we think because she’s a little frustrated with her lack of mobility. She tries to crawl, but ends up just pushing herself backwards. We’re trying to burn off some of her energy with her jumper, but she just really wants to move. We’ve introduced a few new foods this week – potato, tofu and cinnamon. None were big hits, but they all went down without a fuss. She still seems to prefer sweet potato and homemade applesauce and pearsauce best. Still no sign of that 8th tooth to even out her smile, but she seems happier now that all the top teeth are in (and her shirts a staying much more drool-free!).
There was one other exciting piece of news from this week – Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream at the store. There was only one pint there and Em snatched it up. We even made it last for two nights!
No other news. We’re headed to the Lupe club tomorrow morning for a nice Mother’s Day brunch to round out our relaxing weekend. We have a few other pictures to post soon, but just one toothy-grin photo for now.
