Kate tried oatmeal for the first time this week. Not sure why but it was messier than the rice cereal. She was able to eat some of it - she tried to slurp some of it off of the spoon. But most of it ended up on her chin and bib. Next stop - sweet potatoes.
Both Nick and Kristi have come down with a cold / sore throat? Same bug that Kate had earlier in the week? Hopefully we'll all be better soon!

6 Months Old!!
Kate is growing up so quickly - we can't believe that she's already 6 months old! She is getting over a little cold and has been sleeping a lot more than normal including 2+ hour naps!
Today the pediatrician gave the go-ahead to start lots of other new foods and to also introduce a cup - very exciting. He also told us to baby-proof the house because she'll be mobile before we know it.
Kate handled her shots like a champ. Only very brief crying.
She continues to grow well (similar percentiles as her last appt):
weight = 19 lbs 4 oz (95th %)
height = 26-3/4 in (85th %)
head = 17-1/4 in (80th %)

Kate started solids!
Yesterday morning Kate tried her first "solid" food - rice cereal. It's kinda funny because it's really not solid at all. Anyway, she seemed to like it - she gobbled most of it up. Her little "chew" is so cute!!
First we mixed up the cereal (1 tsp) with some breastmilk (2 tbsp):
Then we gave her a tiny bit to try:
And everyone had a chance (Mom, Dad, Grandma Jeanne). Grandma Joanne is going to feed her later today.
It was the most photographed & videotaped event of the century!

Maggie is looking forward to tastier foods in the future! :)

New Game
Kate has a new game that she loves - she sticks her tongue out and waits for you to stick yours out too - then she smiles & laughs. So cute!!
She also loves to touch EVERYTHING. She will dive out of our arms to grab something. We have to pat close attention because she'll knock things over, etc.

Time flies
Time flies with an active baby! Kate has started to do so many new things over the past couple of weeks...
She loves to play with her toes.
No teeth yet, but she keeps checking.
She has almost figured out the whole sitting thing - even without the boppy now!
She has a few new fun toys.
We also started a music class.
And we got the high chair out (probably will start rice cereal this weekend!).
Looking forward to her 6-month birthday and checkup next week!
Check out the super jumper in action!

Foot Fun
Kate was so impressed that her friend, Julia, found her feet that she started searching for her own. She looked high and low and was surprised to find them at the bottom of her legs! Hey - how did they get there?!

Welcome 2008!
We are excited for another new year! Overall 2007 was such a great year for us and we hope that 2008 is even half as good. :)
Maggie has finally started sleeping in her dog bed. Nick is relieved so he can finally stretch his legs out at night since they're not being used her pillows.
Kate has been growing so much and just is so curious about the world around her. She loves to look and touch everything she can. Preferably whatever Kristi is drinking - especially if it stains and is in a breakable glass. ;)
Kate also has been more mobile - she was kickboxing with the monkey on her play mat this morning - TKO.
