Katelyn @ 6 Months! A Little Late

Yes yes yes, I am late on this post. But I can absolutely recap Kate at 6 months because I wrote things down! Because I keep track of her milestones it's fairly easy for me to write out the update posts when I go back to the calendar and read everything. So… at 6 months, Katelyn:

• Weighed 17 lb 3 oz and measured 27.5 inches tall, which is about 75th for weight and 99th for height. 
• Started to say "Dadadada" more regularly which is really just a noise :) and Kennedy will say to me, "Baby Kate says Dada!" and she also says Callie's name which is "Lalalala"
• LOVES the bath and hanging out in the water
• Sleeps on her tummy, and is sleeping better now that she can roll on her tummy and stay that way pretty well. She sleeps in a sleep sack but not swaddled, even though she loves the Aden and Anais blankets very much.
• Loves her sister's baby taggie (which was really her baby taggie at birth but was quickly taken over by her sister). We'll be getting her a surprise for Christmas.
• Loves music! Grandma Gail often sings her to sleep and any time we sing she smiles huge. She loves her two friends Evan and Chloe at ECFE class, plays with them and interacts well, and especially loves the songs we sing there.
• Enjoys the jumperoo but is showing more interest in being free on her tummy on the floor so she can scoot. She is able to scoot in a 360 degree circle pretty easily to get to the toys she wants to play with or face the people she wants to see. 
• Loves to be held, and is extremely engaging with her people. She has the sweetest smile and a beautiful soul -- her eyes look deep inside!
• Rarely cries. She's extremely laid back and happy in most situation and if she cries it's because she's very tired or hungry or wants to be held.
• Started solid foods! They went okay-- she started with oatmeal and then pureed peas which went alright. She still sticks her tongue out a LOT and bites the spoon so it's hard to feed her a lot. She shows a lot more interest in nursing so we won't push solids yet.
• Shows a lot of interest in Callie, her puppy and when I say puppy, she sometimes will look over at Callie. She is recognizing some of the things we say.
• Loves BYOB yoga at Blooma! She giggles out loud a lot during the routines and everyone else in the room is delighted. She loves lunges and the airplane song and the ride on my legs. Any sort of movement and closeness is fantastic in Baby Kate's eyes.
• Falls asleep easily in her carseat so still takes some naps in there.
• Wears 6-12 month onesies and 6-9 month clothes. Her legs are so long that we've definitely packed away all 3 month clothes!
• Loves her big sister and often looks to her for guidance about a situation. We can just see her watching Kennedy a lot of the time and if Kennedy is calm, she is calm. She takes cues from her sister about many situations which is so neat to see. 

We love you Baby Kate! Happy 1/2 Birthday for the first time!!!
