Ruthie 6 Months

Yes, I realize I skipped 5 months.  There was no dr's visit at 5 months, so no official post.  I did take her picture that day, though.  Here they are for comparison:

She started to sit supported around 5 months.  By the end of the month she could sit up on her own.  We really thought we would have her crawling, too.  She will get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but hasn't figured the rest out, yet.  However, if there is something she wants across the room she will roll or inchworm her way over there to get it!

Here are her six month pictures:

She is the smiliest, happiest baby around.  At six months she is 17lbs 1oz, 28in long.  Height-wise she is the same as Mae Michael (taller than Hannah).  As far as weight, she is right in between Hannah (16+ lbs at six months) and Mae Michael (18+ lbs. at six months).  She is a good eater, great sleeper (even though she still wakes up once to eat most nights), and is laughing and babbling a lot.  She watches her big sisters, who adore her, and laughs when they pay her any attention.  The Dr. said she has cut two teeth on the bottom, but I swear she's on crack because no one else, including myself, Hannah, my mom, Jason, and her teachers can feel anything breaking out of her gums!

Her nicknames include Dootee (Mae Mae's version of Ruthie), Doot, Boothy Boo and Booth (Hannah calls her this).  And all three of my girls answer to sissy :)
