6 Months!!!

I’m halfway to a whole year old!!! For my 6 month birthday, I wore my new clothes that Daddy picked out for me! It was the first time Daddy ever picked out new clothes and was ok buying them instead making me wear free used clothes. We bought them all the way in Virginia, at an outlet mall, where they were super on sale, and on top of that we got a military discount.

I'm halfway to a whole year old!!!

Check out how advanced of a 6 month year old I am!

I can almost walk! Well not really.

Solid Foods!

I started eating solid foods a couple of weeks ago! It was super weird at first but now I love it! At first I would get food all over my face and hands and feet and two bibs and even inside my shirt! Now, well, I still do that sometimes.

My first solid food was sweet potato! At first, I had no idea what was going on. Mommy and Daddy put weird mushy stuff in my mouth.

I kept eating it though, even though it was weird and not that good…
After a couple of days, I started to love sweet potato! I like to lunge for the spoon, even when it's not there.

I've also eaten avocado, oatmeal cereal, and carrots!

After Boston, we went to Newport Rhode Island for Chris’s wedding. We saw some gigantic houses with bear shaped trees, a sunset, and we ate lots of seafood near the water. On Father’s Day, I was super good for Daddy!

Finally, we went to Virginia to visit Jen, Brian and Toby. Toby can sit up by himself!!! It’s amazing. We spent a day in Washington DC, but President Obama did not come see me :(. Instead, we ate Shake Shack again. Mommy gave me a burger and I was really excited to try my first solid food, but then she ate the whole thing. In the afternoon I played at the Washington Monument! Then we flew home and I was the best baby again! And there were tons of babies on the plane! Tons!

I flew on a plane for 6 hours to Boston! I was the best baby on the plane, and yes, there were other babies!

In Boston, my milk tasted sweeter than normal. It was like candy milk!

I sat in my stroller a lot, and sometimes Daddy carried me in the funny grey thing that I like to drool on. We visited Mommy’s old school and apartment! Then we visited another school that Mommy and Daddy said i wouldn’t get into.

We ate Shake Shack with Uncle Chris! Innout breast milk is still a little better than Shack Shack breast milk though.

5 Months!

I just got back from my first vacation, and I was the best baby! More on that later — for now here is my delayed 5 month post!

As soon as I hit 5 months, my hair got too long so now I need a clip!

The invisible Mr. Bunny

Mommy and Daddy keep talking about our neighbor’s bunny who they say likes to visit us. They call him Mr. Bunny. I think they might be making stuff up again though…

Nothing interesting here. I'm pretty bored.

Fun in Bumbo

I love long weekends! During this 3 day weekend, I discovered the Bumbo chair. Sometimes it’s fun, but other times I want to get out and I can’t, and then I get kinda mad. I also discovered that Mommy makes really funny faces, and I love it!

Time with Mommy

I like days when I don’t have to go to daycare and get to spend time with Mommy. And Daddy… but more Mommy. She gives me the good stuff and talks in a really high voice.

-Kayli

I'm getting pretty good at grabbing stuff. I like to yell a lot too.

Sick day with Daddy

Last week I got sick for the first time, and then I got Mommy and Daddy sick. On Tuesday Daddy stayed home with me all day, and we had tons of fun, except when I screamed and cried, which was all the time.

We did lots of tummy time. My neck is super buff now.

We did lots of diaper changes because I like to poop extra for Daddy.

I thought a breadboard was something to eat, but actually it's something to help Daddy make a robot to change my diapers and feed me. So confusing.
