Six Months?!

And sick?!?

Cate turned 6 months old over the weekend while we were in Atlanta at Nana Julie's house. She also has her first cold, so she kept the entire house up at night with her coughs and frequent yells to be held throughout the night.....poor baby (and poor mom and dad, sleep was hardly existent). The drive home from Atlanta was pretty loud (Cate's yelling), but she made it. We had our 6 month check up on Monday, so I knew she'd been seen by the doctor and she wasn't having fevers, so the runny nose wasn't overly worrisome to us. The doctor agreed and felt like this was just a cold and we went ahead with her shots (so she could just be miserable the one time instead of twice). Cate got 4 shots and she was such a trooper, but she's been pretty clingy to mom since then! She had a fever over night, probably from one of the vaccines, but she's her playful self this morning!

Even sick, I managed to get a smile from sweet baby girl!

6 month stats:

Weight: 19 lbs 15 oz (98%-still a big girl)

Height: 27 1/4 inches (93%-growing long)

Head: 17 3/4 inches (96%-right on track)

Very curious about this elephant mom keeps sitting by her.

This is how she's looked most of Monday and Tuesday, just a little dazed.

Because Cate is growing right on track and still our big girl, our doctor said we could start feeding her solids twice a day, so she's getting oatmeal for breakfast and veggies for dinner, and of course several bottles throughout the day!
