I forgot to mention in the middle of all this Michigan hype that Katy turned 6 months old. Let's take a look at how she has changed:
May 2006 - 5 days old
Today, November 21, 2006, 6 months old
It's a shame that every time a baby reaches a major milestone, we take them to the doctor and celebrate by sticking needles in their leg. But that's what we did yesterday. She did pretty well. And she weighs 15 pounds, 6 oz., is 26 inches long, both of those are 50%'ile. She's doubled her birthweight, which is supposed to be some milestone for sleeping... speaking of that: the doc said that if I want to, I can try to get her to stop getting up twice a night. The process of doing that, however, seems daunting. As if on cue, last night Katy only got up once, which she hasn't done in a long time. It's as if she heard us talking and said, "that sounds awful, how about I make you a deal and just do it once?"
She has also started babbling the last few days, which is incredibly cute. She does some combination of "Dadada...yayayay...bababab..." etc. I love it when people at the doctor's office, etc., comment on how adorable she is, but you also want to invite them over to your house later that afternoon to get the whole picture. :)
