Life at the Mueske house!: Larkyn Kate is 6 months old...

6 months old is such a fun age! Larkyn is such a happy and bubbly little girl who gets more excited about life each day. There are so many changes happening and new things she is beginning to figure out. Larkyn is rolling over from front to back and back to front with no problems. Larkyn is also enjoying being able to sit up on her own for long periods of time. She is able to sit up and bend down to grab toys around her without falling over. She loves to grab for everything now. We have to watch what we put in front of her! She is really into grabbing faces and pulling them in for "kisses" or her newest thing...bites! Larkyn Kate woke up Monday morning, September 13th at 3 AM with her first tooth! One of the bottom teeth in the middle had made its way through the gums! The other bottom tooth came in on the 22nd. We had a few rough nights in between, but once the tooth was through, her sleeping went back to normal! Speaking of teeth, Larkyn loves to have her teeth brushed. We use a warm washcloth and sing our "brusha brusha brusha" song and she opens right up with a smile! Along with the teeth came a small cold. Larkyn was very stuffy for a couple days and had a runny nose and slight fever. We are thinking the runny nose came with the teeth, but who knows!? Larkyn continues to enjoy eating! She weighed in at 19 lbs. 2.5 oz. at her doctor's appointment, which is the 95 percentile. We switched her to oatmeal cereal in place of rice and she absolutely loves it! She is now eating cereal for lunch at Tracey's and dinner at home. Other foods she has tried include; carrots, bananas, squash, pears, peaches, sweet potatoes, mmm's, and puffs. Lastly, Larkyn has developed quite the personality. She loves to make herself laugh and will pant like a dog and kick her feet when she gets exicted.

"Oh Giraffe, look at how big you are getting!"
