Sept. 14: Sylvia had her seven-month appointment on Friday. Actually, it was her six-month appointment, but we’re a little off-schedule because of our health-insurance change. She’s getting to be a big girl! She weighed in at 16 lbs, measured 27″ long, and has a head circumference of 44.8 cm.
This morning, I think she did her first successful crawling motions. She’s been rocking on all fours for weeks, doing the plank and push-up positions for a while too, but until this morning, she hadn’t moved her knees forward. Several times this morning, she moved a knee forward while reaching with the opposite hand. And in the last few days, she’s beginning to move (mostly by oozing or schooching on her tummy). It’s only a matter of time until she takes over the world. And her brother’s toys. That’s where she wants to go!
