6 Month Check Up

Harper is already 6 months old! Our little princess celebrated her 1/2 birthday this month. In the past few weeks Harper has become a chatterbox. She will talk for hours sometimes - high and fast, slow and low. She has a lot to say about everything it seems! Perhaps she is excited to tell people about the new things she does and see. She has been changed so much in the past month and experienced many firsts. Some of her new experiences include....

• Laughing. Harper laughed at her cousin Syndey at the last Wii Party. It was a deep and hearty chuckle!
• Putting her feet in her mouth. She is flexible and it was only a matter of time until they ended up in her mouth!
• Kissing. Harper first gave me a smooch a few weeks ago. Since then she has kissed her Daddy and cousin Brody. 
• Noticing Mommy's hair. The first time she carefully caressed my hair; the second time she grabbed and yanked. Either way, she knows mommy has hair. Earrings are currently safe.

We visited Dr. Peterson for Harper's 6 month check up. Harper was 25.8" long (50%) and weighed 15 lb 13 oz (46%) on the day of her check up. We are also happy to report that we will be trying another type of formula and a steroid cream.  Dr. Peterson believes that Harper has eczema and an allergy to her soy formula. We are hopeful that the combination will knock out her rash, dry skin and occasional itchy fits!
