...and finally on the growth chart for her length! It's only the ONE percentile at 24 1/2 inches, but we'll take it! They're using a growth chart based on her real age, not her 'adjusted age' so it's all just numbers to me!
At six months (3 months adjusted)
Viviana Faith
- is 11 lbs. 4 oz. with rolls in her diaper & is sporting a double chin
- is in love with her little butterfly papasan cradle swing--watches the mobile and lights go round and round and talks to them in her baby babble.
- loves mommie & daddy's voices and all the special attention she gets from five siblings whom adore her.
- is getting used to all the noise & especially the "Izzie noise." Loud noise still makes her start to cry and get that big lower "McLaughlin lip..."but she'll just have to get used to it!
- coos and jabbers.
- gives mommie special smiles that light up the room.
- has no more ROP (retinopathy of prematurity).
- loves to stratch her face even when there's no visible nails to scratch with.
- HATES being restrained in any way...even to have her nails cut (it must remind her of the hospital and all of the necessary poking, sticking, and proding!)
- IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! (well, most nights).
- makes her momma one happy gal & completes our family.

She sounds like cousin Wes in many ways (except size)...it's fun to read all about little vivs. Wes used to fall apart when Caroline would scream. He's adapted, but no doubt those shrills are a far cry from the quiet womb. Funny thing is Caroline doesn't like lots of noise...go figure. Enjoy another good night's rest. What a treat!
I LOVE Vivi! It makes me cry to see her now and realize how far she's come. She is soooooooo beautiful and sweet.
You are seriously talented with the photography girl! Can I hire you to take some Christmas pictures?
Viviana is GORGEOUS! I am glad she is such a happy baby...I love that Bree is sleeping through most of the night. This blog will be such a treasure for your family...I love all of the little sayings from your kiddos. I really need to be better and write things down. I get on a roll and then stop. Love your Blog!!
