6month check up...

‎50th percentile for weight (16 lbs)

60th percentile for height (26.5")

Our little girl is growing too fast. She will be 7 months old in a week! Oh dear! Well, she had her 6 month check up yesterday, she is right on track with her milestones, and healthy. She had to get shots...talk about misery. I almost found myself crying when she was getting them because of the look on her face combined with the tears. Since she got those shots, she has been so cranky...needless to say, mommy and daddy didnt get much sleep last night...and today, looks to be a rough day as well. Her previous shots didnt react this way. But she is healthy and thats what matters.

Ky's first Thanksgiving

Kylie got to try new foods! I'm so excited! Her first Thanksgiving couldn't have been at a better age. She tasted Mashed Potatos, some of my 7 Layer Bean Dip, & Pumpkin Pie. Needless to say, she didn't like any of them yet, but I think its great that I was able to let her try some new things.

So, the start of the day began at 4am for me...super! *giggle*. Kylie woke up at 4, then 4:30, and 15 minute increments after that till I got up with her at 6, fed her, and she was ready to go back to sleep. So I put her back down in her crib, she slept till 8, while I was wide awake and made the bean dip and got ready for the day. Then we went to my moms for the day, but Kylie is at the age where she doesn't want to take naps anywhere but home in her crib, so she was really cranky and wouldn't nap. We came home, I took a nap with her for 2 hours, and then daddy got home from work. We all headed back to my moms house for dinner. There was a lot going on with all the kids there, so Kylie got worn out pretty quickly. I figured as soon as we got back home she would pass out, but she didn't. She rolled All over the place laughing and playing. It appears she loves her home and is most comfortable in it. Anyway, dinner was great, and this weekend, we are going to put up the Christmas decorations so Ky can get the full Christmas experience for her 1st time! Yay! These holidays are the best in my life!

Have a Safe and...

Happy ThanksGiving!

Kylie's Photoshoot by Mommy and Daddy

I cant believe the holidays are right around the corner...

Look mom...my tongue...

Just the other day, my Kylie Bug discovered she could stick out her tongue...yesterday, she discovered she can blow raspberries. Oh dear! *giggle* its adorable for now, but I'm not looking forward to her doing it all the time, especially during feeding time. It truly amazes me how quickly she is growing and learning...tell you what, the fireplace is going to give me a heart attack. She is so close to crawling, its time to start baby proofing. Humm. So, anyway, here is a picture of her sticking her tongue out, I will try to capture her expression when she is blowing raspberries *wink*

FIRST HAIR CUT

Auntie Nicole gave Kylie her first hair cut the other day. She was a little squirmy but still such a good girl. I know it seems so soon to have her first hair cut, but she is a lot like her mommy. I had my first hair cut at 1 month old. We have fabulous hair! Nicole only trimmed the back fly aways and her bangs. We left the sides and the top. Anyway, there wasn't enough to keep her "first curl" but next time I will keep a lock of her hair.

~6 months old~

♥ Tears of joy watching my daughter get up on her hands and knees all by herself. She is growing sooo fast. I think its wonderful that she did this for the first time on her 6 month birthday! ♥

Cute'N'Crafty

A good friend of mine recently started selling her adorable bows and tutus. She makes headbands with the big flowers that everyone loves putting on little girls. She has adorable pigtail bows, and my favorite...the tutus! I'm so excited for her, and hope she does well with this little business of hers. All the years I have known her, she is so creative, and I know she truly enjoys the hobby. Please check out her site, and tell your friends.

So, today, Kylie and I are baking Snicker Doodle Cookies for daddy, and making him Pork Chops and Twice Baked Potatoes. He has been working so hard to provide for our family, and even with being so exhausted, he still helping out around the house and taking care of us...its the least we can do to show our appreciation for all his hard work. We love him more than three inches, and although I know he knows we do, I hope that we are able to show it too. Well, of course Kylie can, she can easily cheer both of us up with a simple smile and make us laugh with her beautiful giggle.

Kylie has been very chatty lately, and oh yes, she has definitely found her big girl voice if I ever heard one. I love it!

She has eaten Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Bananas, and attempted to eat Peas for daddy last night, but I don't know if she just doesn't like peas or if she was being a butt for daddy, *giggle*, however we are going to try peas again tonight. I'm so proud of our little monster. She is developing so well, and brightening our whole world more and more each day. No one else has that power to make my heart melt the way my wonderful husband and daughter do. Xoxo I love you both!

We were watching Hoodwinked in bed...she sits up so well these days.

I literally put some water in the sippy, handed it to her, and she held it like a pro and was drinking out of it. She is such a fast learner and so much fun!

Kylie Likes Veggies!

She ate the entire jar of squash. Turns out, the reason she didn't like the baby foods at first was because I didn't warm them up enough...I'm so excited.  And apparently we can let her try to drink from a cup.  I thought she was too young, but these days, they try to get babies off the bottles by a year old.  I don't know what it is, but I want to share my food with Kylie, so I'm super stoked that she is getting ready for new foods. But for now, its still baby steps, no pun intended *wink* hopefully she doesn't have any food allergies.

My new favorite picture

We have attempted baby foods, but Kylie is not fond of any kind yet. I tried squash first, she slammed her mouth shut and refused to open up again. *giggle* I don't like squash either *wink*. So, I then tried sweet potatoes thinking maybe she would like them...nope... I didn't want to try fruits first because they are sweet and I don't want her to only eat fruits and not want anything to do with veggies...but I tried pears anyway, just too see how she would react. She doesn't like any of it...only her rice cereal...so we will try try again. Its way fun! I love being a mommy!
