6 Month Check-Up

Katherine had her 6 month check-up on December 5th. She had another round of shots...5 of them to be exact. She was tough though. She didn't even start crying until the 3rd one.

We were given the go-ahead to start her on baby food meat. Up until this point, she only had vegetables and fruit. She can also start finger foods in about a month or so. We're also going to introduce the sippy cup or regular cup to get her used to drinking rather than sucking.

Her current stats are: Weight - 16 pounds, 15 ounces Height - 26.5 inches
She is in the 75th percentile for her height and weight. As the pediatrician put it, "she is in perfect proportion".

Katherine is quite the flirt and smiles at just about everyone and everything. She also cracks up laughing at the littlest thing. She loves to stand and is sitting up with very little help. She loves the swing at the park and is rolling all over the place. She'll be crawling once she figures out how to coordinate her arms and legs.

"Little K" tries to eat just about everything these days and is particularly drawn to sparkly or electronic things (remote controls, phones, etc.). Therefore, she's usually drooling and requires a bib 24-7.

Here are two cute pictures from the park. Notice her strawberry sweater and hat set.
