6 Whole Months!

Kali turned 6 months yesterday! I can't believe that my little monster is 6 months old.  Feels like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. (I'm probably going to be saying that a lot, huh??) 

Since we signed up for the Olan Mills "Watch Me Grow" program when we initially went in November for her 2 months/Christmas pictures, I said that I was going to take Kali to get her pictures done every month...well that didn't happen! So I made sure to take her for her 6 month pictures.  I guess we'll do 2months, 6months, 9 months, and then 1 year, and 1 set of family pictures instead.  Oh well......

BUT, the pictures we had taken on Sunday came out AMAZING!!!!!  I'm so pleased with them.  Now that Kali is sitting up all by herself, she just seems to be happier and ok with the camera.  I brought her a 6 month outfit, and then her Easter dress that her Aunt Debbie got her.  They all came out so cute!

So here are some of my favorites.  Sorry for picture overload, but they're awesome!

This was the VERY FIRST picture taken!
And it's my absolute favorite!!!


Cheese

I love this one! She is always playing with her hands like that.
And I love her smile!

Do you see those toes?! LOVE

She loves to play with her feets

Easter Dress!
She kept trying to eat those eggs....so finally I took them out of the basket

She's like "Why'd you take my toys away??"

Cutie

Look at those bunny butts! And I totally heart the bow!

Do you see my bloomers?!

My little bunny
She still wanted to show off her bloomers I guess! HAHA

And she was able to make a new friend: The Bunny.
I think she liked it because it wasn't running away like Junior does now.

I can't believe that she is 6 months old! I'm not sure where my baby went.

6 Month Stats:

Weight: Probably about 20lbs.  We have a dr's appointment this Friday, so we'll find out for sure.
 
Height: Again, I'm not sure.  But you have definitely gotten bigger and taller! You're starting to stretch out of some of your 6 month sleepers.  So I'd guess about 27inches.
 
Eating: Still taking a 4oz bottle every 3-4 hours, plus eating a veggie almost every night.  We're starting to introduce fruits, but surprisingly you don't like them as much.  But you do like the peaches...sometimes.
So far we've tried: Green Beans, Carrots, Peas, Squash, Prunes (which did not agree with your belly), Sweet Potatoes (your FAVORITE!), Apples, Peaches, and Pears.  I'm also going to start trying to make our own foods.  Daddy went and bought us Avocados, Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Carrots, and Plums.  I'm going to attempt to make them this week.  We'll see how that goes =)

Sleep:  You're still in your crib until about 6am.  Then you wake up and either me or daddy will go get you and bring you in the bed with us to snuggle.  It's our favorite part of the morning.  Once we start snuggling, you'll go back to sleep and sleep until about 8am when Papa comes to get you (during the week).  And on the weekends, we can get you to sleep in until almost 9am! You're a great sleeper!!! =)
 
Accomplishments:  You're officially sitting up on your own. And you're trying to figure out how to go from laying down to sitting up. You're almost there!  You've just started scooting this week.  You can go all around the room by either rolling or scooting! You'll also get up on your knees and kind of rock. Like you know you should be able to crawl.  So that's coming soon too! 
You still babble a lot, and I'm working everyday with you to say Momma.  We've got the "MMmmmm" down from when I feed you, so you're half way there!! =)
You love to laugh, and especially when mommy tickles you.  I absolutely adore your laugh!!!
You still love bath time.  We graduated you up to a big bathtub and you love to splash your little feet, and chew on the duckie!
You also respond to your name now.  So when you're playing with something and I say "Kali" you look at me and smile.  I love it! You also like to play with faces.  Especially when I'm feeding you a bottle.  You'll touch my lips, and cheeks, and nose.  I love how curious you're getting!
 
You truly are the most amazing thing! And I love you sooo much!
