6 months

I know this is long overdue, but in my defense I have been SO busy. I was slacking a little bit with taking pictures during the 6th month but more than made up for it in month 7. At her 6th month appointment she was 25 2/3" (50th percentile) and weighed 19.1 lbs (97th percentile). The doctor told us to start feeding her cereal for breakfast instead of milk to decrease the calories she was getting. It took a little getting used to at first, but now she LOVES her cereal! She did pretty well with her shots. I am pretty sure it is harder on me than it is her. Fortunately, Matt makes sure to be at every appointment so he can help the both of us ;) Speaking of Matt, during this month we celebrated our 3 year anniversary. My sister was nice enough to babysit for us so we could go out on a date. We decided to go look at model homes (something we used to go do all the time before Kendyl) and then went to dinner at Nando's. Although it is not always easy to leave it is definitely something we need to do more often. We really enjoyed our time with just the 2 of us. The things I want to remember from month 6 are:
-The ahh game she would play with Matt. He could be in the other room and say, "ahh" and she would look all around for him and then reply, "ahh." This would seriously go for about 5-6 rounds. It was so cute!
-Toward the end of the month she started crawling. Not very well, but she could get from point A to point B.
-Sleeping through the night...every night! Since 6 months she has been going to bed around 7:30 or 8:00 and she sleeps until 6:00 or 7:00 the next morning. She still takes 2 naps a day which helps me to get some stuff done around the house.

Here are some pictures:

This dress was my mom's dress when she was a baby. My mom was so excited to have her wear it!

Matt's cousin had a baby 4 months after us. This is Kendyl meeting Arlen on Easter. Holding a newborn again gave me the itch for another one big time!

I love Katie in the background of this picture.

Her new thing is sucking the water out of cloths. She does it to paper towels when I wash her face, (clean) wipes when I am changing her diaper (I take these ones away from her), and her wash cloth during bath time.
