Cassidy is 6 months old! She’s a little peanut, weighing in at 12lb 6oz (3rd percentile), length at 24 1/2″ (11th percentile) and a head circumference in the 75th percentile. She’s a little girl with a big head :) Ben was 12lbs at 2 months but the doctor wasn’t concerned about her, since we’re just starting solid foods and Cassidy’s meeting all her other milestones.

She’s reaching and grabbing for everything, trying to get it all in her mouth. She just discovered her feet and has been grabbing for them too. She can sit by herself for a little bit of time before she wobbles over. And she has gotten up on her hands and knees and started to rock back and forth…ahhhh, the crawling is coming!

She absolutely loves her kitties and any time one walks by, her little face lights right up. She also giggles hysterically when you play peekaboo with her. Ben can get her to laugh too, he’ll make funny faces or sing to (at) her.

I posted about her lack of naps ;-) She takes two 40 minute naps a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She’s still waking up once or twice a night to eat. I put her down at 7, she usually wakes up around 2 to eat and then sleeps again until 7.

Little miss is not the avid napper that her brother was. Sometimes I could get 1 hour morning naps and 3 hour afternoon naps from Ben. Cassidy’s usual is 40 minutes. Which gives you just enough time to set up a project, get a few minutes into it, and have to stop and clean it up. This applies to yardwork (luckily it’s January and there is none), cleaning the house and graphic design work.

Thankfully she isn’t mobile yet. So last week when Ben was having quiet time (because he doesn’t really nap much these days, but that’s a whole ‘nother story) I brought her downstairs and set a few toys out for her. She was just as happy as could be, shaking them, smiling and drooling.
