I told you last week we had our 6 month check up. Well, everything went well and she is doing just fine. She is my big girl though. She weighs 19lbs 1oz and is now 28 and a quarter inches. That makes her about 90% for weight and 97% for height. Here lies the problem. She is growing out of clothes like a little weed. I just pulled out the 12 month clothes yesterday so that maybe we can have longer than a month to wear them. They are a little baggy but at least there is room to grow. Ben could even tell that her outfit today was 12 months because it fit so well.
A couple things I have learned about solid feeding.
1. Roll up long sleeves, orange on white doesn't go so well. Which bings me to...
2. Who thought of white clothes for infants anyways!!
3. Oxy Clean Spray is awesome for getting out stains.
4. The bigger the bib the better. Those pretty little bibs aren't for eating.
5. Smooth texture won't make her gag.
If you have anything to add, let me know.
I am so excited for a couple of reasons. Remember this from last year. Well, it took exactley a year for me to get one of these "Little People Nativity Scenes." It will be here this week and just in time for Katelynn to chew and drool all over the pieces. Woo-Hoo! I got it shipped for $22 and change. That is the cheapest I have ever seen it. If you have been wanting one check it out here at Pinching your Pennies The post is a couple down from the top. Buy one for $22 or is you know a friend who wants one get two for $37. The details are on that site and you are using two coupon codes hopefully they haven't sold out.
I am also excited for Tuesday Beth is going to help me make some head gear for Katelynn. They'll be so cute! I can't wait.
And last but certainly not least. One week until Vacation!! It'll will be quick but super fun!
I will talk to you all later.

Yesterday
Yesterday I went to take pictures of Sarah and her family. So here are the best options. I think that we are doing pretty good since we have three options.
I hope that you like one of them.

6 Months
This is always sureal when I post these monthly updates. I swear i just did this yesterday for 5 months. I guess wil the holidays and her being more active time will zoom. So, I need to take the time and write down these memories. Wednesday is her six month appt and I wonder how big she is. She really is off the charts in my opinion. I think I am catching up with her but then her 9 month pajamas that she has worn only twice are being stretched in the length and her one piece 9 month outfit she is wearing today is high waters. I guess I need to pull out her 12 pajamas so she can get some wear out of them.
She is reaching for everything. Nothing is off limits. If she can reach it, its in her mouth as quick as can be. She has found her toes and can get them in her mouth. She can roll over from her back to tummy very well and in one sweeping motion but still has great difficulty getting from tummy to back. She gets frustrated very easily and wants to be off her tummy when she wants and not a moment later. I am trying to let her learn how to get over but when she is wailing there isn't much for learning. She is so much fun. Everynight when Ben and I lay down for bed we always talk about how she is just the cutest thing ever, which of course she is!
I love it when she gets a hold of her binky and takes it out of her mouth and tries to put it back in. She always ends up on the sides or the back.
She is just starting to sit up on her own. Today was the longest I had seen her do it for a minute. Probably in the next month she will be rolling better and sitting. I am hoping that crawling is far away I like her being immobile ar at least slow.
Right now she either has a cold or she is teething. She sounds miserable but really hasn't been too irritable. Just a little runny nose, that she may have got from Ben or the teething runny nose. Then again people say she has been teething for the past three months and not one tooth yet. She has started sucking on her bottom lip and looks so cute doing that too. I will miss her gummy smile though.
The other thing that I love is when we put her to bed she always sticks her legs straight up in the air to turn on to her left side. She gets so excited in the crib and starts pounding on the mattress. She is so much fun and we just love her so much. Happy Half Birthday Katelynn!!
Since I forgot to add her 6 month stats here they are. She is 19 lbs 1 oz and 28.25 inches.

Halloween
Halloween was a very fun day. We had been talking about going to a pumpkin patch for weeks and we had to do it then or not til next year. We went to Hobb's Grove ust a couple of miles from us and it was really nice. The "patch" was picked over and there pumpkins only placed there, not really from picking any more. They also had a fantasy forrest that we didn't go through since Katelynn wasn't excited about it. We went over to where they had more of a selection of pumpkins and chose one of those. As we were leaving I saw a wood board with cut out faces that a lady was kind enough to take our picture. I want to go there again next year but hopefully earlier in the season.
Next we went trick or treating to Grandma B's and to Aunt Beth's. While at grandma's house Aunt Sarah and Cousins Damien, Max and Jesse came by to trick or treat too. So we got some pictures together.
That night we went to the ward's trunk or treat party. We had a fun time handing out candy and eating dinner with the Nielson's and Mitchell's. I think that Katelynn had a great first halloween as a witch. Ben wasn't excited about the costume and has decided that next year he gets to choose. He wanted something cutesy like a flower or Pumpkin. Oh well, I think that she was still cutesy. I hope that you all had a Happy Halloween.
