6 months

My dear Kinley,

You are 6 months old! Half of a year old! I cannot believe it! Most days I'm wishing for time to slow down, but I also love watching you learn and grow! Let's recap everything from this past month.

-You are 25 inches long and 11 lbs 13oz.
-You can now roll onto your tummy AND back... when you remember you can.
-You can sit up
-You are starting to respond when we say your name
-You like hanging upside down and being thrown in the air
-You love to suck on your fingers and toes
-No teeth yet, but we are starting to see some coming...
-You giggle lots more and are more chatty
and
-You started solid foods and are LOVING IT!

Mommy and Daddy's favorite times are when you are giggling. You have some pretty funny faces and your personality is showing more and more. We are also so excited to start introducing solid foods to you! You are so interested in all the things mommy and daddy are eating! You love rice cereal, bananas, pineapples, watermelon, peaches and strawberries. All but the peaches and bananas Mommy has only let you suck on, but you can't get enough! While we are thrilled to have you try lots more things, we are a little less thrilled with your diapers. They are A LOT  stinkier than they use to be. We are missing the not so pungent smells that exclusive breast milk had to offer, but we knew those days wouldn't last forever. As much as you love to eat and try new things, you are still very small. Most people who don't know you can't believe you are already 6 months old. You still fit into all your 3 month clothes; Mom and Dad are loving how long your clothes are lasting!

You love meeting people and always have a smile to give. You also had a visit from Gigi and Grandpa Glenn this past month, which was loads of fun and you also celebrated your first  HALLOWEEN! Mommy decided to do something easy with your costume. Since we already had a Utah State University onesie for you, (which I may add is a 3-6 month size and basically swallowed you whole) I decided to get crafty with some tulle and made a tutu for you! You were the cutest USU cheerleader I've ever seen! They would be lucky to have you on their squad!








Well, that's about all I can think of that has happened last month. We still have so much more to look forward to. Your first Thanksgiving with the Nunes grandparents and your first Christmas, which we are so thrilled about. Mom and Dad are really going to have to control ourselves with the presents for you! =) We love you so much, Kins. Our lives have been so enriched with you in it. I wouldn't trade these days with you for anything!

We love you!!! Happy 6 months!

Here are some more pictures. I just can't resist.
