I know that everyone always says this, but....I can't believe Mary Katherine is 6 months old! It really sounds old when I think that she's 1/2 of a year. Mary Katherine celebrated her 6 month birthday with her first ear infection and a trip to the doctor. Not so fun, but we did get to see how much she weighed---a whopping 20 lbs. 3 oz. !!!
I feel like Mary Katherine has grown and changed so much in the past month. She still very much dislikes being on her tummy. It takes about 5 seconds before she rolls over on her back. I've decided she might just scoot on her back rather than crawl. That would be a funny sight! She does a pretty good job sitting up. She topples as she sees an object she wants and lunges toward it. She's very active with her hands and wants everything she sees. As you can probably see in most pictures, she still has the blocked tear duct. That will be something we will probably be dealing with in the next month or so.
She's a great solids eater and has loved getting to explore different tastes. She now eats green beans, peas, avocados, squash, sweet potatoes, applesauce, and cereal. In two of the pictures above you will see her chewing on a teether with a frozen strawberry inside. She LOVED that. It also made a very BIG mess! Her tooth continues to come out and it looks like she might be getting the second lower one soon as well.
I took most of these pictures today. As you can see, she wasn't feeling the best. The top left picture cracks me up--it's as if she's saying, "mom...I'm tuckered out".
