Happy Half-Birthday

Today Kyla is 6 months old! She is so much fun right now and loves to play. She can sit up like a pro and is very interested in anything you put in front of her. We've recently discovered she can sit in high chairs at restaurants, and today was the first time she rode in her stroller sitting up (vs. just snapping the carseat in.) We went shopping in Des Moines and she loved strolling through the mall!

Now we've got a fun week ahead... Tomorrow evening we start baby/parent swim class. Tuesday is Kyla's 6 month pictures (we're going to attempt to take the dog along, should be interesting). Then on friday is her 6 month Dr. appointment.

Since this blog is my way of journaling our memories, here's some fun Kyla facts:
-She usually sleeps 11 hours at night (about 8:30pm-7:30am).
-She takes 2-3 decent naps during the day.
-She's good at falling asleep. We just put her in her crib with her paci, and turn on some music. She's snoozing in no time!
-She's moving into 6-9mo clothes, although some 3-6mo clothes still fit.
-She loves to blow spit bubbles and drool and squeal.
-She eats 2 "meals" per day (we've had rice cereal, bananas, avacados, sweet potatoes, apples... so far I've made all of her baby food).
-Avacados are definately her favorite food.
-She nurses about 5 times a day.
-People always comment about how happy she is.
-Her favorite toy right now is a little crab bath toy.
-She goes to the church nursery because she's noisy and squirmy.
-She finally stopped spitting up.
-She's still pretty much bald except for the 10 long hairs on top of her head.
-She doesn't have any teeth yet. I thought some were going to pop through on the bottom, but they went away.

That's about all I can think of for now. I'll post her pics and her Dr. appt. stats later this week.
