Kelly: Six Months



Oh, man... I love this age. Especially because Kelly is a happy, happy girl.



She soooo close to crawling. And without being an official crawler yet, she sure can get around. She's got a funny sideways scootch and loves to push herself up on her hands and tiptoes (think downward facing dog).

UPDATE- Kelly IS crawling! She figured out how to move her arms and now she is moving all over the place!

Since she's so happy on her tummy and moving, we done less sitting practice. So she's started it on her own. More and more often she goes from hands and tiptoes to plopping into a sideways bulldog-esque leaning sit.


Been slowly adding solids. Kelly's had rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas and pears.

Her sleeping habits vary. She's taking at least 2 naps during the day (sometimes a catnap around dinner as well). Her nighttime habits switch about every 2 weeks. Sometime she sleeps like a champ (7:30 to 6:30 or later) and other time she wakes up twice. Who knows...

No teeth yet, but they are coming. Kelly is a big fan of teethers.

PS. Shannon is obsessed with cameras and picture-taking right now. Since we had the elephant out, she thought you might like to see how big the rest of us are. Shannon "pushed button" on these, impressed?

Oh, and I meant to ask, "Gee, I wonder where she learned that bulldog-esque sitting technique"?

(so, a week late, but) Kelly is so awesome! I can't believe how she's getting all around like that. Love, love her smiles. And also love Shannon's pictures--pretty good for a 2 year old!
