6 Months Old

Long, long eyelashes

Such a Big Girl!

I can't believe how fast 6 months as gone by. Why didn't it go by this fast when I was pregnant? Kate can now sit up on her own (although she topples over once in a while)and thinks she's pretty hot stuff. She eats her toes and anything else she can fit in her mouth (the remote, my phone) and blows spit bubbles. She found out she can scream, and does so whenever she feels we aren't paying enough attention to her. Kate's 2 bottom teeth came in over the last couple of weeks.

Mt. Dew for Little Dew (snup)?

This is what happens when I leave Jed unattended with Kate.

Kate's Silky Blanket

My mom made Kate a silky blanket. Kate was so excited when we first gave it to her that she squealed and grabbed for it. She now sleeps with it every night and loves to pull it up over her head.

Like Mother like Daughter

This is a Martha Miniature dress I wore when I was little.

How many ...

...fingers can you fit in your mouth? I was trying to do a photo shoot with Kate, but this is what I ended up with.

I know it's been a while since I've updated (don't I always say that?). Anyway, Kate has her hands in her mouth about 80% of the time now. This creates a lot of drool, so I guess we've progressed from spit up to drool? I'm guessing she'll be teething soon.

Kate also started rice cereal, and likes it most of the time, unless you ask Aunt Roo. Apparently she wants nothing to do with the rice cereal with Aunt Roo, and lets it sit on her tongue until it falls out of her mouth, making Aunt Roo want to gag. :)

Christmas Pics

Jed gave me my Christmas present early, a new digital camera! I never knew how difficult it was to take pictures of babies. They won't stay still.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Kate slept through the whole thing. Since I haven't posted in a while, here's the rundown of what Kate does now. She laughed for the first time a week and a half ago. It's an elusive laugh, we've only heard it a few times so far. She figured out what toys are and is really getting into them (thank you Holly for the carrier toy, it is a lifesaver). And she is very talkative now!
