Kate is 6 Months Old!

Kate Alaina, You turned 6 months old on the 11th. 



   The one word that best describes you would be sweet.  You are such a sweet happy baby.  90% of the time you are content and easy.  You only fuss when you are hungry or sleepy.  


   You found your feet this past month and you think they are pretty swell.  Anytime you are laying down you are playing with them or if you are barefoot you are sucking your toes.  


    You also went through a thumb sucking spell this past month.  You got pretty attached to it, which Momma wasn't liking!  At the suggestion of a sweet friend, (Thank you, Mrs. Bonnie) we went through a two week period of putting socks on your hands when you slept and in the car.  Thankfully this broke you.  Now you will even suck on a pacifier for short periods.  



   Your six month checkup isn't until next week so I don't know your height/weight stats right now.




   You have become very curious over the past few weeks.  And extremely grabby!  You will grab anything that is within your reach.  


   You are trying to roll from your back to your stomach, but you can't quite do it yet.  


   You are still a nursing champ.  This month we also have started cereal and oatmeal.  Truth be told, you are not a huge fan.  And you haven't totally mastered eating off a spoon.  Your tongue wants to push everything back out.  Baby food is in your near future.  And I think you are going to like it!



     No signs of any teeth yet.  

      You can set up on your own for 10 to 15 seconds at a time. 


   Your schedule still is not set in stone.  Typically you will take a long morning and afternoon nap ( an hour and a half or longer).  Then a shorter evening nap (45 minutes or so).  You go to bed for the night around 7 or 8 but still wake in the middle of the night for at least one feeding.  You wake for the day at 7:30.  You are no longer swaddled at night.  I'm anxious to get you moved into the nursery this next month.  I think that'll help both of our sleeping.  


   You are wearing size 3 diapers, size 2 shoes, and 12 month clothes.



    You are unbelievably ticklish.  Just trying to put lotion on you is hilarious because you cackle the whole time. 


   Your sister is still your favorite person.  You love watching her and when she plays with you.  I pray you will always have a special bond with her. 


It's hard to believe we are half way to the big one year old birthday.  You are so special and so very loved!

2, 3, 5, and 6 months
