I think the most difficult thing about being a parent, for me, is watching your children grow up so quickly and knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
It certainly doesn't seem like it's been 6 months since Paloma was born and while it has been wonderful watching her grow and development, there is always this nagging little thought in the back of my mind, knowing that before I know it, she and Milan will be grown and gone.
In the meantime, I will try to stay present and enjoy the two blessings I've been given.
Today, Paloma had her 6 month well check. She weighed in at nearly 15 pounds (26th percentile) and 25.5 inches (50th percentile). Her head circumference fell into the 80th percentile, and while her pediatrician isn't too concerned with it, he asked that I bring her back for a head check next month. Hopefully all is ok, and she just inherited her Daddy's big noggin!
While we were in Idaho, Paloma rolled from her back to her tummy and is now using that as a form of travel...rolling to get to things she can't reach otherwise. She spins on her belly and just today started to scoot while lying on her back. I now have to constantly keep my eye on her!
By this weekend I hope to post a few of the pictures taken during our trip to Idaho!
