Emilia is 6 months old, adjusted

Emilia is 6 months old, adjusted, today. In chronological age, she is a little bit over 9 months. Yesterday I took her to work to say hi to all my colleagues and oh yeah, I had fun explaining her age every time somebody popped the question "how old is she?". When strangers ask, I always answer she is 6 months old because to me, that is what she is. However her pediatrician, of all people, goes by her actual age. I guess because immunization has to go by chronological age.

I think she just went through a growth spurt this past month. I had to empty her wardrobe and fill it with bigger clothes. When I first received clothes gifts from family and friends, I wondered if Emilia would ever grow big enough to fit into those clothes, but oh boy, babies do grow fast. Accoding to her ped doctor, Emilia has caught up with babies her actual age and we don't need to adjust her age on the growth chart any more.

So, some of her stats:
Weight: 8.16kg (almost 18 pounds)
Length: 67cm (26.3 inches)
Head Circumference: 44cm (17.3 inches)

Developmentally, she might not be exactly at where she is supposed to be but she's now rolling over effortlessly (but still only from back to tummy) and she is sitting up for few minutes at a time. She clasps her hands, grabs at things, babbles, laughs and smiles. Eventually things will come along and hopefully there won't be a need to adjust her age any more... I know that's still far far away - they say usually after age 2, their age won't need to be adjusted.

Here are some photos I took of her for her 6 month milestone:
