Happy Half Birthday!

Dear Kaylynn,

I had every intention of making you a t-shirt that said "1/2" on it, but I didn't get around to it. :( Sorry about that. To think that exactly 6 months ago you were born and exactly 6 months from now you will be 1 year old! Craziness!

Yesterday we did a guessing game to see how much you've grown since your 4 month appointment. They guesses were 16lbs and 26 inches...looks like we pretty much nailed it, as you are 16lbs 3 oz and 26 3/4 inches long. Dr. P said you are a very tall little girl. You've almost grown 3 inches in 2 months. Funnily enough, you still wear a size 0-3 month shoe. :)

To commemorate your half birthday, you had your 6 month appointment, went shopping with Mommy and Grams (Moore), took many naps, and tried your first fruits - bananas! As I type this, you are still rubbing your eyes. I'm guessing those shots took it out of you. Later this evening you are going to go eat at Benihana to celebrate your Daddy's 27th birthday with the Moores (and Grandpap Frink).

Some of your accomplishments include: log rolling across the floor, figuring out how to eat off a spoon, flipping pages in your board books, patting the animals, sitting up like a big girl with no support (for a small amount of time...it is getting longer and longer), and graduating to your big girl carseat. You reach out and grab whatever you want, usually my hair or necklace. Your hand-eye coordination is getting good, as you take your soothie out of your mouth, play with it, chew on it, and put it back in. Your grasp has gotten pretty good too, as you can pick up smaller things and hold them between your fingers.

Dr. P says you'll be crawling soon. It's crazy to think that 6 months from now you might be walking. We've moved up to wear 6-9 month sleepers...the 3-6 month ones were WAY too short. It's because you were growing like a weed (a good simile for all you readers out there.)

I'll post some pictures of you later, as we've got to run to go celebrate! Happy Half-Birthday Sweet child of ours.

Love,
Mommy
