Tooth time

I first noticed it a couple days ago and now that everyone has stuck their finger in her mouth, it is confirmed...her bottom, front tooth is on its way! She hasn't been particularly fussy or drooly, so I'm hoping it doesn't bother her. Maybe this will make her eat more!

She also took her first trip to the farm, this weekend. It was baby animal day, so she saw a baby calf, chicks, goats, lambs and piglets. She also saw lots of other human babies...which she found very interesting. I'm loving her sun hats...pictures below!

Superrrr sitterrrr

Sitting pretty

Every day Katie gets a little stronger and can sit up for longer amounts of time. It is amazing to see a baby learn new things. Just 6 months ago, she could barely move and now she rolls, sits, and eats (well sorta).

Happy belated Easter

I am happy to announce that our household illnesses are over (knock on wood). We are all feeling much better and were able to have a nice Easter, even though my voice was gone. Katie enjoyed her first Easter basket(s). She received some teething biscuits, a book, a "chick" rattle, a new shirt, money and a new pair of shoes. Of course, the best part of the baskets were the Easter grass and other filler, but what do you expect?
Even though it was chilly, we put her in a pink Ralph Lauren dress. It was adorable!

On Easter, Katie was officially 6 months old. We celebrated by torturing her with a "springtime" headband. It wasn't too bad though, I think she enjoyed it...or she is just a ham and loves having her picture taken. Here is the little beauty queen...

Stats from 6 month checkup:
Weight = 16 pounds, 3 oz. (50th percentile)
Length = 27 inches (90th percentile)
