Well, of course we knew it would happen. But, it came up pretty quick. You've officially been here with us for 1/2 a year. Wow!
You continue to grow and change at an almost alarmingly quick pace. Your 6 months clothes are very snug but your size three diapers are still fitting you. You are now eating both rice cereal and apple sauce. You LOVE applesauce but will NOT eat cereal unless it is mixed with some applesauce. I can't believe it is already time to start you on baby food. Your well baby check isn't for another 2 weeks so it will be interesting to see how much you weigh. The last time we checked you were just over 14.5 pounds. And though you seem so big to us you're right on track with where McKenna was at your age. You had your first cold this month but you came through it with flying colors. We had a couple of long nights on the couch but really I can't complain. What I could probably complain about is the fact that the GI bug and cold that you had have set us back some in the sleep department. You still tend to get up one and sometimes 2 times each night. 4am seems to be your favorite time. You aren't necessarily hungry - you just want to play. And though I consider myself a morning person I have to draw the line somewhere and it's not at 4am. You're really starting to notice things around you. You reach for anything you might possibly be able to get your hands on
This is how most of the pictures looked today. Once you discovered you could pull that sticker off you were completely mesmerized.
Almost got it!
This picture makes me laugh. This was one of your "finds" the other day as you were watching me cook. You leaned over the edge of the Bumbo seat to get my phone. And it seems that you know just what to do with it already. Lord help us.
Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your call.
You hit a major milestone yesterday- you rolled over for the first time. And I must say, so much for staying home and being able to watch you do things for the first time. I put you on your mat while I ran upstairs to get you a new outfit. When I came back down you were on your belly. I missed the whole thing.
I had to include this picture just because it makes me laugh.
And this one because your long hair continues to be the topic of conversation wherever we go. It is now down to your shoulder blades in the back and shows no signs of slowing down.
With your six month birthday comes your first sippy cup. Sad, but true. You are eager to try to get a drink from it but it doesn't always work out for you. We'll keep working on it. You'll get it.
You're still Pappy's girl. Hopefully someday soon you'll cut poor Mimi a break. She's really fun if you just give her a chance.
And so are McKenna and Cooper but I don't have to tell you that.
Kinley, thank you for making all of us smile every single day. We love you so much and we know that the next six months can only get better.
