6 Months Old!

Kate just had her 6 month appointment today and is doing great! She now weighs in at 15 lbs 14 oz and is 26 1/4 inches long. Again the doctor commented on how active she is (after she shredded the paper on the exam table and unplugged the instrument panel) and insisted sending me home with info on home child safety precautions.

Kate is becoming more and more fun by the day. She giggles over just about anything and babbles constantly. Her favorites are da-da-da-da, ba-ba-ba, mmmmmma!, and some sort of "p" blowing sound. Also in her repertoire is a shrieking sound that is cute when it is done quietly but not so cute when it is at the top of her lungs. She also seems to tell herself jokes because she will babble and then laugh at herself.

She is now eating a variety of foods made by the extraordinary Chef Rachael such as sweet potatoes, beans, peas, apple sauce (made by Grandma), bananas, rice cereal and oatmeal. Next on the menu is pears.

I have tried to take her picture with a stuffed dog that Aunt Becky gave her every month. The 2nd and 3rd month weren't done exactly on the date but I have become much more diligent with it. I thought it would be fun for you to see how she has changed the past six months.





Just born - 1 month old- two months old



3 months old- 4 months old-5 months old


6 months old

That was a neat idea - glad you thought of it. It will be funny when we all come over when she turns 16, has her boyfriend over to celebrate with the family and we all tease her to go get her puppy dog for a picture!!!
