Tweleve Months of June a year: Halfway to One

Wow time has really flown by. Yesterday, June turned six months old. She had her six month check up the day before and her measurements were:

Weight: 16 lbs. 10 oz. (67th percentile)

Height: 26.5 inches (80th percentile, not off the charts like she has been, but as the doctor pointed out, how accurate can a moving target be measured. She is still really tall.)

Head Circumference: 16.5 inches (50th percentile)

June had to have vaccinations done again that included two shots and one oral plus a finger prick. Surprisingly, June only let out one short cry for the second shot. She was such a champ.

Other than growing, June has made some great accomplishments. About a week ago, on March 2nd, June had her first long run of sitting up by herself. She sit up for about forty-five minutes straight through our entire bible study. She has been doing really good since then as well. She still falls over occasionally, but it doesn't seem to bother her.

The other thing she has recently learned is reaching. Whenever I walk near her and she wants to be held, she will reach her hands towards me. Its so awesome for her to show how much she wants me. Sadly, I haven't been able to get a picture of this yet, but you will see it when I do.

The last thing June had accomplished goes hand in hand with her being able to sit up on her own. June rode in a shopping cart for the first time this week. You can see how much fun she was having sitting up like a big girl.
