6 months old

This little ham bone turned 6 months old on the 12th. Instead of cupcakes and balloons, she had to go to the doctor for shots!! The poor dear was not to happy with momma. Kate is one big 6 month old. She now weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces and is 27 and 3/4 inches. No wonder, she can fit into 12 month clothes.

I love being Kate's mommy! It is so exciting to see her little personality developing and her reaching certain milestones. She is turning into one inquisitive little girl. She is slowly getting into somewhat of a schedule. She goes to bed around 8:30 and is up at 6:30. We are so fortunate she sleeps through the night. Usually, she is back down for a short nap in her crib around 8:30. This morning I just couldn't stand it! She was being so sweet and cuddley. She finished her morning bottle and laid her head on my shoulder. I just held and rocked her. The milestones are great, but it is mornings like this where I don't know how I can love anything more, she has officially stolen my heart. Here are a few pictures from the past month.

Kate is a wild woman in her exersaucer! This expression screams TROUBLE!!

Noah & Kate have really started playing together this month. Noah just giggles at Kate. She is into studying her cousin. I love that they are so close in age.

Kate now eats her morning meal and evening meal in her high chair. She seems to enjoy it. Her favorite fruit is peaches and she loves carrots for dinner.

We have been spending more time with Uncle Carl, Aunt Traci and cousin Tripp these days. Kate likes looking at Tripp. We are fortunate they live so close.

Erik sure knows how to get Kate laughing. (I think it's his whiskers!) The other night I was in the kitchen and Erik was in Kate's room and I heard the sweetest sound. Kate was cracking up laughing. It went on for at least 5 minutes.

Grammy got this picture on her camera. It is one of my all time favorites.

Thanks for checking in on our sweet Kate. Time sure does go by fast. We can't believe she is already 6 months old!
