6 Months

Wow...it is hard to believe that six months with our baby girl have already gone by. She is changing and doing new things every day. We cherish every moment with her and thank God for bringing her into our lives.

Yesterday Kate went to the Dr. for her 6 month checkup. She was much more at ease than at her 4 month checkup. It might have something to do with the white paper laid out on the table! She was in awe of the way it looked, sounded, and tasted! As soon as I would get one piece out of her mouth...in would go another piece. The doctor said she can always tell when a 6 month old has been in the room! Kate checked out great and only cried for a few seconds when they gave her the shots. Whew!

Here are her stats:

weight: 15.5 lbs. (50%)

length: 27 1/4 (90%) :)

head: 16 1/4 (25%)

Kate has been busy these last few months. Below are just a few things she has mastered:

*eats cereal twice a day
*looks when you call her name

*responds to our voices (especially her daddy!)

*reaches for and grabs anything that catches her eye

*rolls EVERYWHERE

*starting to scoot

*sits up by herself

*sucks her toes

*puts herself to sleep with her fingers

*loves to play peek-a-boo

We are so thankful for a happy, healthy, precious baby girl. She is the love of our lives!
