6 Months Old

Katie is officially 1/2 year old! This month she weighed in at 19.6 lbs and 26 3/4 in., still falling in that 96th percentile! This has been quite a big month for her. She started on solid foods. She's the first of the three that actually liked the rice cereal and didn't just dribble it all down her chin!

She can also now sit up. Of course, she still throws herself backwards, so you need to be nearby, but she can sit all on her own. Way to go Katie!



She is also now the proud wearer of a cranial band to help fix the flat spot on the back of her head. She's been a trooper, it hasn't really bothered her much. She has to wear it 22 hours a day for at least two months, so I guess you just get use to it. One of my good friends painted it to give it a little style. She looks pretty darn cute in it, I think.



Let's see, she can also roll both ways now and is still one of the smiliest babies I know! She LOVES to spit (I mean blow raspberries) and grab those little toes any chance she gets!



Happy 1/2 Birthday Katie!
