Six months old

Half way to a year!  It continues to amaze me how fast time can fly.  I spend every day with her, after work, just playing with toys and talking.  I don’t want to miss a minute with her.

Kendall  is interacting with those around her each time she is around someone new.  Sometimes it takes her a few minutes to get used to a strange face but shortly after she’ll show a smile.  She smiles so often and it lights up the face of anyone who sees the smile.  When she is on her tummy, she has started to bring both of her knees underneath her and scoots forward as if it is her first attempts at crawling. 

We started solids at about 4 1/2 months and now her list consists of rice cereal, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, applesauce, bananas and pears.  We have tried carrots and broccoli but so far she is not a fan.  I have been making all of her food, so I really think the carrots and broccoli are a texture issue versus taste.  We will try those two veggies again at a later date! She is able to make her way from one corner of the crib to the next during her naps and especially at night.  I am hoping that soon enough she will figure out how to back up so she won’t keep getting stuck in the corner.  She is still on the same napping schedule and has now stretched her nursing to every 4 hours.  Within the last two weeks we have added in formula, one to two bottles a day, and she has tolerated it without any problems.

 

Kendall-

Thank you for continuing to be such a happy baby.  You only seem to get upset at the obvious, If you are hungry, tired or bored.  We have been able to determine your cries so it is easy to give you what you want.  You have stuck to a great schedule which helps in keeping you happy throughout the day.  I still look at you every night while you are nursing, before bed, and just can’t believe we have been so blessed to have you in our lives.  I say that so much, but there are just no words to describe how thankful and lucky we are to be your parents.  We will continue to provide for you to the best of our ability to keep you healthy and happy.

We love you!

Mommy and Daddy
