Graysen turned 6 months old on Boxing Day. I still can't believe that she is already halfway to her first birthday. She had her 6 month check-up on January 11 and was 15lbs 13oz (50th percentile) and 26 1/2 inches (85th percentile). She is starting to sit up unassisted now, although she does need the assistance of her hands out in front of her to balance herself. She is also standing with assistance and able to grasp things and get them to her mouth with ease. And in other good news, she finally has enough hair for her first pigtail.
Unfortunately she had her first real illness a couple of weeks before Christmas. It started off as a cough and wheezing and she was started on nebulizer treatments to help open up her lungs. It then progressed to a worse cough and a very high fever. Thankfully she was feeling well the day that we flew home for Christmas. After a couple of days with a fever of 104F, the fever finally broke on Christmas Eve and she was able to enjoy her first Christmas.
