Happy 1/2 Birthday, Kyle!

Six months ago, Kyle came into our lives.  It seems like time has flown but it is also hard to imagine life without her.  She continues to be her same happy, go lucky self.  Always quick with a smile for her mom and dad, although getting a bit more hesitant now around others.  She is fascinated by new places and displays a more serious side as she takes everything in.  Currently she is not quite sitting although will do a bent over position somewhat resting on her baby belly.  Luckily she sought to please her mom by doing some sitting for her six month shots.  Although she may not be fully upright by herself, she loves to stand with you holding her, and can get from one side of the room to the other using a combination of rolling and army crawl.  Kyle's love for formula continues, and she mastered the understanding that you must tilt the bottle up.  Whenever the bottle is in the vicinity, she reaches out with both chubby little hands and a wide open mouth.  The same cannot be said for food at this point.  Typically she entertains us with one or two bites then keeps her mouth shut unless we pull out all the entertainment.  

Kyle's love for monkeys continued, often ignoring all other toys but getting a big grin whenever she sees a monkey.  She sleeps 8 hours most nights, although I guess she wanted us to remember six months ago last night.  Unfortunately a stuffy nose made for a not-so-happy baby and a few extra night time wakenings for mom.  However, she is battling back like a champ.  The litany of sounds continues with this month adding raspberries and what we like to call the old man wheeze.  Squealing still has its mark though.  She is fascinated by new objects, reaching out to examine every inch.  Kyle's hair is growing like crazy and has now hit that fuzz stage where she has inevitable bed head any time of day.  There is definitely no styling options going on.  It no longer appears we are going to have a red head, although surprises still may come.

Stats Update:  Head 45.5 inches (98%).  Weight 19.13oz (95%). Height 28.5 inches (98%).  Let's say this visit did not go quite as well.  Kyle was very suspicious of this provider.

It's been an amazing six months, Miss Kyle.  We can't wait for the many more months to come.






Our two favorite things - monkey and bottle.  Life could not be better on your half birthday!
