6 months old

Kathryn Persis is 6 months old! She is such a joy to have in our lives. She loves to smile and be tickled and observe all the activity around her. She is a great cuddler when she chooses to sit still, but most of the time she is in motion. She is still tiny (12 lbs 5 oz & 25 inches at her check-up), but what she lacks in size she makes up for with strength and physical prowess. Her arms and legs are always moving, she loves rolling both ways to grab her toys and she wants so badly to situp that she does mini-situps whenever we lay her on her back. Her favorite place to be is in the Johnny Jumper and she can really get some air!!

Kip's favorite toys are anything fabric.... ...and this soft plastic book which she crumples and gnaws on with gusto.

Solid foods have been a bit of a challenge with this precious girl. Don't let that sweet face fool you. She has deadly accuracy with her left hook when a spoon wanders nearby.However, when the mood is right she eats like a horse. Her current favorite: avocados. Good thing they're high in fat:)We are also making great strides in the napping area, once I accidentally discovered that she is soothed by up and down motions. I was trying to sneak in some exercise one day while she was a little fussy and demanding to be held. I started doing lunges and realized a minute or so later that she was all snuggled in and almost asleep. I've been doing that routine ever since at nap time and bed time and it works like a charm. And my legs are getting some serious toning!

We love this girl so much!! And except for when I'm woken up in the middle of the night, I don't want her to grow up:)
