Kennedy's 6 Month Stats

Yesterday was a trying day. Kennedy was pretty upset from the beginning and I wasn't sure exactly what it was but had a pretty good idea, it was either teething or she was upset from the new addition of bananas to her diet. Well, it turns out that it was mostly likely the bananas. Kennedy wouldn't eat and just cried. This was the first time I have ever just put her in her car seat to drive around and get her to fall asleep. Then, in the afternoon Kennedy had her 6 month well child visit, which she was pretty jovial for. Her stats are: 18lbs 4.5oz (86th percentile) 27 1/4in (93rd percentile) and her head is 33rd percentile. The doctor said she is above average for her skills at this age and is a healthy little girl, which we are thrilled about! This was then followed by 3 shots and she did not like those one bit! The evening ended with her spiking a fever from the shots and being super upset, having to be held/rocked and if you even moved a muscle she would begin freaking out again. It was so sad :( We gave her some watered down prune juice, which she sucked down without a fight, and that seems to have helped the constipation a bit. Poor thing! She is still not quite herself, but we are getting there.

Kennedy's 6 Month Portraits & Updates on the Girls

Brian and I played around with our photo equipment and took Kennedy's 6 month portraits. We haven't decided which one we are going to use yet, but here they are.

Kennedy is getting really close to crawling. She gets up on all 4s and tried really hard, but doesn't go anywhere quite yet. She is really liking eating her rice cereal, we are going to do bananas this week, I just have to find some organic bananas to mash for her to eat. Kennedy has her 6 month well child visit on Tuesday, so I will update you all with her stats.

Addison is learning her alphabet right now and she is doing really well. So far she has A-H down and we are doing a few letters each week. She really has fun playing the "ABC game" as she calls it. Addison sure is growing up these days! She has lots of fun playing with her sister.

Kennedy Eats Her 1st Food

Today is 2 days shy of Kennedy turning 6 months. I like to wait until my kids are 6 months to feed them their first food, but I opted to start 2 days early so that I could do it on the weekend. Kennedy ate organic multi grain rice cereal and she seem to like it well enough. She pushed some out with her tongue, but that was to be expected, as she hasn't eaten anything before. We will keep you updated on Kennedy's endeavors with her new foods!
