Kenley's 6 Months!

It's hard to believe Kenley's already 6 months old. She had her check-up yesterday and wanted to put her stats on here... so I can keep track. She weighs 14 lbs, 10 ounces, and she was 25 1/2 inches. She is 25th percent for her weight and 50th percentile for her height. I compared her stats to Kyson's and he was 16 lbs 10 ounces and 27 inches... so she is smaller than Kyson was.

Her latest is that she almost sitting by herself. She can sit for about 3 seconds before she goes flat forward or backward. She can roll from front to back and back to front, is scooting backwards, and getting up on her knees to try to crawl but so far just rocking back and forth on her knees. She is very verbal, still smiles and laughs all of the time, and is still a super sweet baby. She also tries to grab anything and everything... she is very interested in the world around her. We have tried introducing rice cereal a few times, but so far no food for her... we'll keep trying some other cereals, then veggies, then fruits.

Kyson isn't too keen on her trying to play with "his" toys... but every once in a while is good about sharing or bringing her a toy to play with. When he does share we have been over-praising him to try to reinforce the good... He has still been growing like a weed and getting smarter everyday. He is talking a lot more, asking questions, eating better, and getting smarter all around. We bought him a puzzle that at first he could barely do, now he will do it in about 5 minutes (which is probably 5 minutes faster than I could do it.) He is getting into humming and singing more. He can sing about half of the alphabet and can count to ten. It really is an exciting thing to witness your child learn so much so fast... and want to learn more. He also cannot get enough books read to him. He probably has 30-40 books and could sit through us reading all of them to him if we would. Ken has read some 20 books in a row to him. For me... I'm done after about 5.

Work has been very busy lately but is finally slowing down some... which is nice to have more time with the kids. Overall life has been good... just busier... thus not as many posts lately... but just as everyone says and tries... I will try to be better about posting.
