6 Months Old

Kaitlyn is six months old... wow - time flies when you are watching a little one grow. She is changing so fast. The good news is that she isn't mobile yet. She is starting to enjoy tummy time more and more, but we still have some time before she is crawling all over the place. Last Friday we tried cereal for the first time. I put in her bottle to see if she would stop eating in the middle of the night. It worked, but she still likes to wake up... maybe she is checking to see if we are still there. On Monday we tried using the spoon. She wasn't a big fan, but we will keep trying. She is good at spitting back at us.

The last week has been kind of rough. She has had a cold for 2 weeks now and it has progressed into a horrible cough and a double ear infection... wait... there's more... she also got some sort of stomach bug too. Good thing her daddy is able to stay home and comfort her. She is also not so sure about the medicine. It is a chore to get her to swallow it.

Here are her details for her 6 month wellness check:
Height - 23 1/2 inches - she is still short.
Weight - 14 lbs. - we are in stage 2 diapers - yeah!!!

She is below the curve for height, but is moving up on the charts for weight and head size. I kind of like having a petite little girl. She is also a talker... sometimes I hear her say mama, but I think she is just learning to make different sounds.
