As of February 3, Willow is 6 months old. She had her checkup on the 11th. She is 26 inches long and weighs 15 and half pounds. She is the smallest of the crew coming in a pound less than Abby at 6 months and almost 2 1/2 pounds less than Luke at 6 months. Luke was 2 1/2 inches taller too. It's going to be fun watching how different they all are. Willow seems to be physically the slowest of the three as well. She is just now sitting on her own and when she falls, she falls hard. There's no bracing the fall. She has no desire to roll around. I think she will love crawling when she gets to that point, but for now rolling around on the floor seems demeaning to her. She is also the clingiest, I mean most social of the three. When we are interacting with her, she has a face of pure delight. Her smiles are the biggest, most joyful smiles I've ever seen. But if she feels she is not getting the personal attention she needs, she will fill the house with screams that could make the Black Canary envious. As most of you know, she hates most people who don't live with her, but I think that may be getting somewhat better. She actually played with her Grandma Mary. And more recently, she let Jordy and Michelle Cundiff hold her. She also has the most unique baby voice of the three. It's sort of horse sounding, but I love it.
Here's the ice part:
