My sweet sister and her two beautiful boys visited us in January. These sweet little ones where 6 months and 7 months old. I think Kallie outweighed Austin by a pound at this visit and both were wearing about 9 month clothes. Austin had his two bottom teeth at this visit, Kallie still with none.
Kallie and Austin got a lot of baby play time in!
I could not wait for the day when Kallie would fit into this outfit that my Aunt Kara and Kari got for her. And, I almost waited to long! It barely went on! I dressed prissy up for a fun photo shoot in the crib for her 6 month birthday.
This flower bigger than her head is what having a baby girl is all about! I LOVE it!!!
We had your six month well visit this week Kallie. You are a healthy and happy girl and all went well, except the four vaccines including the flu shot. Ouch! The shots made you feel bad for two days afterwards. Here’s your 6 month stats:
You weigh 18 pounds, 6.5 ozs 95 percentile
You are 28 inches long, 95 percentile
and your head measurements are in the 95 percentile as well.
You wear a size 3 diaper
You wear size 12 month clothes! Seriously, how did that happen SO fast??? We totally skipped 6-9 and 9.
You are eating cereal and fruit baby food each morning and stage 2 chicken and rice and veggies at night. You do pretty good with your baby food, but are picky about what you’ll eat. You wont eat green beans, peas, squash. But you love carrots, sweet potatoes, applesauce, pears, oatmeal, chicken n rice, chicken noodle baby foods. We just started giving you yogurt melts and you like them.
You are sitting independently, rolling over from front to back and back to front, pushing up on front arms and kicking yourself around the floor, mainly you roll. You are not crawling yet. You have no teeth yet.
You are so happy. You still drink formula bottles (6 ozs) 3-4 times a day.
You sleep through the night, 8-10 hours, I can not complain, you are a great sleeper at night!
You are completely CRAZY about your brother and laugh out loud at him. You watch every move he makes and you adore him.
You are such a good baby. Good natured, happy all the time. A little shy around people, but always willing to smile for them at least.
This is you all sacked out for a good nap after our photo shoot! You love your bear pink just as much as Kaden loves his bear blue.
You are so precious to me baby girl! Happy 6 months!
This little boy always wants to go to a “Bag Party” with me. So, this was fun, when I hosted my own home party this month, I let Kaden wear some of the awards for my hostesses and hold a Cindy Tote for a picture! He was a great little bag party boy!
That Nana is so creative, she can sit a baby in places I would never think to sit one. And, she is happy and she plays there. Go figure! She liked the laundry basket!
Kaden and Nana playing …
Sister likes to play on Bubba’s bed too.
This girl propped her leg right up there when we took the tray off to get her out of the high chair. :)
This little girl wears a new outfit everyday, not just because we are fortunate enough to have that many clothes gifted and given to us, but because she grows that quickly. Seriously, this is a 6-9 month outfit, she wore it once, the next day wore a 9 month top and 12 month leggings.
I just love this picture because it shows her gummy smile. Still no tooth at 6 months old, and I just know that this will not last long so I am so happy I got a great gummy smile picture.
This little man is growing at the speed of light as well. He is getting so big and grown up, so fast. I can’t believe in just a few days he’ll be 4! How did that happen?
These two are my world!
She had been working on it really hard, but on New Year’s Eve, Kallie started sitting up all alone. It instantly made her seem so much older, because now she sits there and plays in the floor. My baby is growing WAY to fast for me this time.

Do these pictures really need words? I don’t think so.
This is Kallie at 5 months in a 6 month outfit that was 3-4 inches too short in the legs! She is SO long! But, isn’t she a cute little monkey here?
My two sweet red headed babies at Megan and Hayden’s house for our annual Christmas party.
Kaden wanted no part of the group picture! Love all these sweet kids though!
Sister had fun!
In fact, sister had fun at all her first Christmas parties! This is Uncle Lenny helping her open gifts at my Dad’s Christmas.
Baby girl already LOVES books, I think it is so sweet that her Daddy reads her Cinderella.
Kallie’s First Christmas, she was 5 months old and loved unwrapping all the paper, pulling at it and trying to eat every bit of paper that got near her mouth. She loved the paper!
And, of course, Bubba was the professional gift unwrapper at his 4th Christmas time! He loved every minute of Christmas this year. It was so special to share with him.
My kids where so blessed this year at Christmas by family and friends. We are so thankful for our families and these sweet babies.
Kallie Ann’s first Christmas! It snowed on Christmas Day for her first Christmas, wonder if that will happen in her lifetime again, it was a first for my lifetime on Christmas Day. What a special blessing from our Lord, for beautiful white snow on Christmas Day. I didn’t get a picture of Kallie in the snow, but I got a few of Kaden making snow angels! He LOVED the snow!!!
Snow Icecream on Christmas Day!

We had no electricity Christmas morning when we woke to open presents, we assume Santa knocked it out accidently. He said the reindeer liked our donkey’s and got distracted. :)
Checking to see what Santa left behind, one cookie, and a letter and an ornament for both kids.
Opening presents in the dark!
Sisters Santa gift! Good thing for flash photography!
