7 & 8 Months

K's getting so fun now! She's growing and learning so much. We can see her just observing and learning all the time.

Some highlights:
Foods tried: Yellow squash, broccoli, fish, chicken, sweet potato, winter squash, multigrain cheerios, rice crackers, turnip
(haven't found anything she doesn't like)

She can feed herself a cracker and drinks out of a cup (with help)

She's pulling herself up and starting to get into a crawl position. she still hasn't crawled - we think she might skip crawling and go straight to walking.

We've got her on a pretty good schedule with helps us a lot! She feeds at 5am, 9am, 1pm, 5pm, and 730pm. she naps for 30 min to an hour after she eats and sleeps from 8pm to 5 am.

She grew two more teeth... that's 6 total!

She's a very happy baby. Loves to smile and laugh. she laughs when we tickle her or when her dad farts or burps.

She refuses to wear shoes.

She's starting to sense stranger danger and gets nervous when she doesn't see us.

6 Months

Around 4 -5 months she grew her first two teeth on the bottom. this month she got her top two teeth! She's got a total of 4 teeth at 6 months!

here's a quick snapshot:
Height: 24.5 in (25-50th percentile)
Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz (75th percentile)
Head: 17.5
Tried solids for the first time... Rice Cereal
Also tried Avocado
Sitting up by herself

She took her first international trip to Cancun, Mexico. Had a great time enjoying the warm weather. Went to the beach for the first time and spent time in the pool everyday. We had a great time hanging out with friends and celebrating the marriage of close friends.













In all her pool gear with dad.
