6-month Checkup

Well, last week Friday we had our 6-month Checkup and all went really well!

Kaiya is still in the 70th Percentile for her height and weight, which she has been all along, and 80 for her head...apparently she has a big head!! Although if you ask my mom, she would disagree because most of the hats she has knitted for her don't fit her, they are too big! Though the one in the picture does fit her just right.

She is now 16lbs 7oz and 26" long. She is growing like a weed!! The doctor said she is advanced in her eating skills, just in the fact that she has eaten Stage 2 type foods already and is getting 3 feedings of cereal a day.

I have been pretty good about making food for Kaiya vs. using store bought food, much cheaper!! So far she has tasted Green Beans (hates them), Peas (hates them), Pears (likes them), Sweet Potatoes (likes them), Carrots (likes them) and Banannas (likes them). So, based on her likes and dislikes, I say we might have an orange child on our hands! I heard from my parents neighbor the other day that one of her kids liked squash, sweet potatoes and carrots so much that they actually turned orange!! Yikes!! Kaiya, you better start eating the green veggies to even out the skin tone!

She also has 2 teeth now!! She started getting her first tooth right around the 6th month mark and the second tooth came in right after the first one arrived! So she has two teeth on the bottom and really, not much crabbiness to show for it!! She took it like a champ, which she seems to do with a lot of things. She really isn't a fussy baby, her shots, she cried for all of 15 seconds and then was done. The nurse even said, "come on, is that all you got, most babies cry much more than that!" When her teeth were coming in, I didn't even know it until Tiffany pointed it out to us, there was no fussing, no crabbing, nothing! We have a tough little girl on our hands!
