Another month, another milestone! First of all, Jolie had her 6 month appointment. I can't believe it's been six months already! She was 16 lbs 9 oz and 28 1/2 inches... off the charts for height, which is no surprise to us- she truly is a daddy's girl. Jolie has graduated to her big-girl car seat and to stage one vegetables. She can also sit up un-assisted (for a minute or two), plays peek-a-boo, and holds her own bottle!
Here she is feeding herself:
And here is the epitome of a daddy's girl: She roots for his team and even wears his clothes!
While I'm on the topic of being a daddy's girl, on Father's day, Jolie, Matt and I headed to the pool for Jolie's first swim. She absolutely LOVES the water. She's a natural little swimmer, and even more of a natural babe. Jolie now owns FOUR bathing suits (compliments of grandma and mom-mom), and has used all four already. We are so pleased that Jolie likes the water, because the pool is pretty much my summer plan during the day! In addition to the public pool, Jolie and I are taking baby swim classes at the Hatboro YMCA. Jolie is such a ham- we got compliments after from parents who were watching about how fabulous she was in the water (the youngest baby there!).
I am officially (and finally) home for the summer, my school year having been extended a week for curriculum writing. I have loved every minute of my time with Jolie. She is such a bright and cheery girl; she truly makes me happy! She is very close to crawling- right now she rolls over almost immediately if we lay her on her back, and then she does the "plank pose" from Yoga (think of the hardest part of a push-up), and scootches backward. All she needs to do is figure out how to use her knees and the great Jolie chase will commence!
