Kaylyn 6 months

Kaylyn gets lots of Kylee kisses.

Thanksgiving was also Kaylyn's 6 month point!! Our little girl now weighs 13.4 lbs. She is now on the large end of 0-3 month clothes. I plan on pulling out the next size up when we pull out the Christmas decorations.

She is sleeping through the night most the time. She has also started taking actual naps. She has also started eating baby food just after her fifth month. She has now had rice cereal, applesauce, banana's, beans, and strawberries. She is also teething. We don't see teeth yet. But Karla did that too--where she seemed to teeth for almost a month before we actually saw the teeth. And then she got two at once. We will see how Kaylyn does. It's been hard. Kaylyn hasn't been fussy before, and she isn't handle this well. But I think it won't be long before she gets over it. Although this has lent itself to Kaylyn becoming a mommy's girl. With Grandma having a broken shoulder and daddy gone a lot, she is 100% mommy. And will on occassion cry for no other reason that she wants mom and no one else. As soon as grandma is better--Kaylyn is spending a Friday with Grandma to help elimnate this problem. I already have one mommy's girl and don't need another.

Kylee loves Kaylyn very much. I have caught her trying to share her corndog with Kaylyn once too. But she picks her up. This we are attempting put an end too. But I often find Kylee trying to snuggle with Kaylyn. Kaylyn doesn't mind sitting up with Kylee until she puts her down and bonks her head. Kaylyn gets a little nervous around Kylee. Kylee has also started speech. She enjoys it. And she loves that she goes to school like Karla even if it's just a half an hour a week.
As for Karla, she got upset one night and felt I wasn't listening. I was but the answer was still no. I'm sure that never happens in your house. Karla finally said "Mommy this is not a whining. This is a grumpy face. Grumpy means that parents not listening to kids!" I couldn't help but laugh. Kylee then sang her favorite line of a song I sing often "grumble, grumble, YUCK!" Kylee has been singing a lot lately. Her favorite tune is the one when Ariel looses her voice. I remind myself to be supportive as Kylee usually sings forte! She is starting to branch out to other songs usually sing the same line over and over again. UNDER THE SEA has been a fun one.

My mom is back to work but still has several things she can't do for herself, so we spend lots of time with Grandma. We pray she continues to heal and that the pain will stay managable.

As for me, I have started a third paper route. It's right next to my Wiley route and doesn't take a lot of extra time. I also was able to pick up two daycare kids for Tuesday and Wednesday. I like that it is part time because I can still schedule doctor appointments for Mondays. I also still get to spend Fridays with my mom.
