Malaika is 6-Months Old

Our little girl is growing up so fast. Everyday I am a little more surprised at how quickly babies learn. I have a friend that would always be looking forward at her children's next move...crawling, walking, talking, preschool etc. etc. As much as I appreciate my friends wisdom, I don't want to rush these exciting moments that only happen once. We have had such a wonderful time as parents watching every new move, experiencing every new food, listening to every new noise etc. etc. I slow myself down when I begin to anticipate the next step and try to remind myself that each milestone should be cherished.

Malaika is now 6-months and 4 days old. She weighs 17lbs 14.5oz, her height is 27.5" and her head circumfrence is 44.5cm. She is currently 90th percentile for weight and height and as her doctor says "Malaika is doing very well". She has added sweet potatoes to her menu, next up - bananas.

Food Glorious Food...

I'll have some peas please

Malaika will turn 6-months old on Thursday Nov. 22nd. She just started to have solids and is loving every bit of it. We honestly didn't expect anything else but pure enjoyment. She had rice cereal first and although she enjoyed eating it we found it didn't really agree with her. So we decided to dive directly into the big stuff, forget cereals we went for peas. She loved them, they loved her and so we're off. Next on the plate will be sweet potatoes, then avocado and then some pears. She tries a new food every 4 days. As you can see from the photos I don't think we have much to worry about.
