Making Mischief at 6 Months

Well, yesterday Elena turned 6 months old. I know, it is hard to believe. She weighs 21 pounds and is 28-1/4 inches long. She is big for her age and already wearing 12 month clothes, but at least she is proportional. According to the May 30, 2000 publication of growth charts for the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Elena exceeds the 97 percentile for both height and weight. Which is interesting with the current health care debates and some insurances denying babies health care coverage because they are too skinny or too chunky, falling outside the 5-95 percentile rage. I'm glad this is not an issue we have to deal with from our insurance. We have a healthy baby who loves to make mischief with her toys. If you look carefully on the third picture down, you can see Cooper is keeping watch over Elena and her mischief.
