Diya's Six Month Check Up

It is hard to believe that Diya is already six months old!!! She had her check up today with he pediatrician and she is doing great. She weighed 13 pounds and 7 ounces and was 25 inches long. She is way down in the percentiles on the growth chart, but the doctor said she is doing fine and not to worry. I guess she is going to follow in her sister's footsteps and be a tiny little thing. That's fine with me because it makes is much easier to hold her and carry her around! Diya is also starting to sit up on her own. She still needs someone sitting behind her, but she can hold herself up pretty good now. It will be nice once she can sit up by herself because then she will be able to see what is going on around her and it will be easier for Isha to play with her.

Here she is modeling her adorable dress that Megan made for her. It is the softest yarn and Diya looks so pretty in the beautiful pink color that Meg chose for her. Megan made Isha a beautiful sweater when she was a baby and I am so glad that Diya will have her own beautiful hand made gift from Megan to wear and have as a keepsake some day.

We also got the okay at the six month check up to start giving Diya solid food. So far she loves it!!! She has had rice cereal, apples, bananas, peaches, butternut squash and tonight we are going to try carrots. Isha has helped feed her a few times which is great because she loves helping with her little sister.

I love to watch them interact together. Today I was standing Diya up and Isha was holding her hands and singing Ring Around The Rosy with her, but instead of a pocket full of posies she was singing, "Pakistan and Roses". Funny funny girls!!!
