Getting Shots and Getting Big!

Padma had her 6 month appointment and she is healthy and strong as ever! She is developing perfectly and reached all of her 6 month milestones on time. She is now sitting up, saying mamamama and babababa, standing holding onto something or someone, and she is even starting to try pulling her knees up when she is on her belly. I'm scared because this house is not yet baby proofed! I guess we have a project to start... She had some more shots which was hard on us all again and her percentiles are 75 for head, 50 for length, and 30 for weight. While she did not double her birth weight,which is expected by 6 months, she is doing really well and it is not a cause for concern.

I started a new job recently taking care of another 6 month old and his 2 year old sister one day a week. It's a lot of hard work, but the kids are great and I anticipate an adorable friendship for the three kids. Padma seemed to enjoy hanging out and having other kids to stare at and hold hands with.

I know that I am not as good about the blog as I once was, but as Padma grows, so does her demand for attention and stimulating activity leaving me little time for things like this. I'm trying though and I appreciate that no one has given me much guilt for my dwindling updates. I'm looking at you mom and Grandma! Enjoy the new pictures!
