6 months

I can't believe it, my baby girl is 6 months old today. Her adjusted age is 9 weeks and that's how long we have been home with her.

Napping on the couch.


Sorry for the blurriness, but you can see how active she is by how hard it is to get a picture of her.

Here's what Kynlie is up to:

• She weighs 8 lb 3 oz. She is gaining about an ounce a day.
• Eats 4 oz when she is bottle fed.
• Sleeps through the night, she wakes up around 5 to eat, then sleeps until 9.
• Holds her head up very well.
• Sits in her Bumbo chair and is very proud of herself that she can.
• Smiles and coos a lot. Mostly in the morning and evening.
• Is still wearing newborn diapers.
• Wears some 0-3 month clothes and some newborn clothes still fit her.
• Holds herself up on her elbows during tummy time.
• Tracks objects very well with her eyes.
• Can hold all her weight standing, just needs support for balance.
• Still sleeps in her vibratey chair, aka, her bed, at night (to prevent puking).
• Is puking significantly less after eating, just needs to be kept upright.
• Has the cutest pouty lip and fake sad cry.
• Is a great traveler, just grunts when we slow down for towns and cries at stop lights.
• Loves being carried in the Moby wrap.
• Is very much a daddy's girl already.
• Only wears her apnea monitor at night, and that's just because we paid for it for the month and don't have to go back to Bismarck until the 26th.
• Is off all medications, just gets 1 ml of Vitamin D in her bottle and will be on as long as she is getting breast milk.
• She is a great baby, she just wants her stomach full and prefers to be in someone's arms.

I have to say that I have the best job in the world being able to stay at home with Kynlie. We haven't been home much because it's been so busy the past few weeks here, but I am working on getting into a routine with Kynlie. I am really looking forward to it being nice enough out to go on walks with her and just be able to be outside with her, the wind really puts a damper on that for now.

Happy Birthday Kynlie Faith, mommy & daddy love you so much.
