6 Months Already!

I can't believe my little McKaylee is already 6 months old....and I'm late with this post, she's actually a week older than that. Incredible....it's hard to believe how much she's already learned. It seems like daily she is doing something new. Just in the last week she has mastered sitting up (even in the bathtub!), getting up on her hands and knees, and scooting backwards. She gets really frustrated when she starts going backwards, it is very contradictory to where she would like to go....the toys just get farther and farther away....

Here is an update on her stats from her 6 month doctors appointment. She is 25 1/2 inches long (30th percentile) and 13 lbs 7 oz (10th percentile). Her head has finally made the charts too and is in the 10th percentile as well. Her weight might be able to keep up with her height if she would hold still for more than 2 minutes, but she is just constantly moving!!! She does not like to sit still.

Well, my incredible sister-in-law Maria helped me get some pictures of McKaylee the day after her 6 month birthday. Unfortunately McKaylee was a little sick and kind of tired that day so we didn't get any smiles, but Maria showed her incredible camera and editing skills and we got some really cute ones.





This is what she looked like much of the time though....thus the red nose. Poor girl, I'm such a mean mom for making her take pictures. She will be grateful when she is older though, right? I love the abbandonded teddy bear in this picture.


Just for record's sake though, here are some pictures of her beautiful, oh so slobbery, smile.



McKaylee is such a joy to have in our family. She is a very determined little girl and I can already see her strong personality poking through. She is not going to be one to sit back and let the world move around her, she will be in the for-front moving the world along. She is so active and never stops moving (except when Baby Einstein is on). I'm pretty sure she will be crawling before Christmas and then we will really be in trouble trying to keep up with this girl. All I can say is watch out boy cousins because when she's in the room it'll be her way or the highway!
McKaylee loves to take baths, play with her blocks, read stories, play peak-a-boo, talk, be an indian, play with her binky, stand up, go for walks and sleep on her daddy's chest. We love you McKaylee!!!!!!!!!
