Dorman Days: Home

Recently we've stayed right here in Savannah (mainly due to illness), but it's been nice. We started Lane on her first round with real food. She doesn't seem to like anything tart like apples, but seems to like sweet potatoes, green beans, and avocado. I use the word like very loosely...we are happy if the girl eats 4 tablespoons of anything. She prefers the bottle over the spoon at this point in life. My pediatrician said I have to start trying for three real food meals a day (yikes that is going to be a lot of work).
Lane also came down with her first real illness. She got double ear infections! I thought she was teething, so I waited 4 whole days to take her in. Just so you other mothers know, if your child has green snot in the afternoon then you should take your baby in. Green snot in the morning isn't necessarily worthy of a visit, so the key is afternoon! She only had a low grade fever, and wasn't being a pill, so poor thing had to wait a few days for me to realize. After her six month check up this morning we did see that her two top teeth are about to break through...so she is teething too.
We have been boating, beaching, and pooling it up a lot! Lane even has a nice tan going. I'll picture purge all of the lovely photos at the end!
Lane says mama all of the time, and can say dada but rarely does it. They are not technically her first words since I don't think she can associate them with anything...it's really just babble. It will pull on your heart strings to hear her upset saying mama mama mama though.
Still no forward crawling, but the girl can barrel roll and back scoot like a pro (especially if she is trying to reach something she isn't allowed to have). The closest thing to crawling at this point is her up rocking on her hands and knees. I think Lane would love to skip the whole crawling thing altogether and just start walking.
At her 6 month appointment today I got her latest stats:
