The Baby That Ate Drexel Hill

It's been a long time since we posted. Hallie's computer is in the shop and in the evenings when Tim brings his laptop home we're both too tired to write many sentences. But there are a few things to update you on:
Oly is eating lots of solid foods and so far one of her most favorite is spinach. Her Great-Grandpa Mac would be extremely proud. Certainly her Grandpa Mac and her Great-Aunt Margie are.


Organic Mango? Disgusting. But blend a bag of steamed conventional spinach and she's good to go. Who knew.

We bought her a few new toys for her to play with, one of which is shown below. Her dexterity has improved dramatically since and she now turns the light switch off when we're finished in each room.



We also went to her 6 month check-up at Drexel Hill Pediatrics and Dr. Browngoehl came up with new nickname in the post title above.
Her weight? 22 lbs and 11 oz. About 2.5 pounds heavier than the 97th percentile. Dr. Browngoehl showed me her dot on the chart, "She's a full inch above the top line! Wow!".
Her height? 28.25 inches. A little less than an inch taller (longer?) than the 97th percentile.
Head circumference? (I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the kid has a gigantic noggin.) 46.75 inches. About two inches more than the 95th percentile.

We certainly have a remarkable child.
