6 Month Update

I can hardly believe that this little chub is 6 months old! Kallie has brought so much joy into our house. We all adore her, and she is so perfectly sweet! At her 6 month check up she was tipping the scales at 18.5 lbs and was 26 1/2 in. long! She's such a petite little thing, right?!

She is sitting up like a champ, but hates to lay on her tummy. She has only rolled over once, and I think it was a fluke. She has no desire at all to roll or lay down. I'm sure it takes a lot of energy to roll that much chub over.

She is my worst sleeper (hence the bags under my eyes) but she is still amazingly happy. I got spoiled with Kourtney and Drew......they were amazing sleepers. But, even though she NEVER sleeps, she is always happy! Kallie always has a smile on her face, and she lights up the room. She has an infectious little giggle that makes everyone else laugh.

She adores her big sisters, and they adore her. Lexi loves to carry Kallie around the house and sit her down next to her while she plays. Kourtney loves to tickle Kallie's chubby legs and make her laugh. Drew loves to cover her face with slobbery kisses. She will tolerate it for a minute before screaming for him to back off.

Surprisingly, she still isn't a huge fan of baby food. She'll eat a few bites, but doesn't devour it like my other kids did. She would rather sit in her high chair and play with toys while the rest of us eat than eat herself. Don't get me wrong, she loves to eat still......she just prefers the good stuff.

We sure love this little bug and I am so grateful to have her in our family! I can't imagine life without her!

She makes cute funny faces. That is fun that she is sitting. I love the tongue picture.

I think it's fun that our babies are only a week apart, so they are doing about he same things except Addie isn't sitting. Great update!!!

I love all of her expressions! I wouldn't know what a chubby baby is like, so give her a little squeeze for me, since I can't.

She is adorable! I love that last picture with her tongue out! Of course all the pictures are great. I always find it so amazing how each and every child can be so different, even though they all come from the same genes!

Those are some seriously chubby cheeks! I love it. We should match her and Court's little guy. He weighed that much at four months! I just love chubby babies!

It was so fun to see you and your kids in church today. Kallie is such a cutie. I look forward to getting together sometime.
