Sorry that I haven't updated this in a while. There has been so many things that have happened, only where to begin....
Well, at Whitley's 6 month doctor's appointment she weighed 13 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches long. She had another ultrasound to monitor her kidney and we found out that it is the ureter coming into the kidney that is dilated but not causing any damage. The doctor wants to check it again at her 1 year appointment. If he thinks she needs it further checked out, he is going to send us to a pediatric urologist in St. Louis.
The week after the doctor's appointment she got her first tooth! Then she got her second tooth the next week. It is the 2 on the bottom and is still working them all the way up. The Saturday before Father's Day she learned to sit herself up! Of course I missed it the first time she did it. I was vacuuming the living room and turned around and she was sitting up, but I didn't miss her next milestone. On Father's Day we all went to my parent's house to work cattle and to see my dad. Whit was playing with the rocking cow my mom has for the grand kids and she kept wanting to play with the face while standing on it so Kenzie sat her in front of it to play with it and she grabbed a hold of it and just stood up! Everyone but I think my mom got to see that milestone. So of course you want to see if it is just a fluke so we sat her down in front of it and she did it again!
She still hasn't started fully crawling. She will get up on her hands and knees, move her knees forward and then plops on her belly, reaches and then pushes herself forward with her feet. Yesterday she was really trying and would move her knees then 1 hand and then move her knees again then plop. She will get it and then we will be in trouble because she is very active and once she learns something that is all she wants to do.
I think that is all I have to update you on for now. By the way her 6 month pictures came out SOOOOOOOO good!

6 Months
Whitley,
I can't believe that you are already 1/2 a year old. Time is going way faster than I would like for it too. You are getting to be such a big girl and becoming more independent. As you grow your personality grows as well. You are still such a happy little girl (when your teeth aren't bothering you). I know I have said this before, but when you smile your whole face lights up. Here are just a few of the everyday things you are up to:
Sitting up: CHECK You can sit in the floor and play with toys all day
Crawling: Almost! You are really good at going backwards, turning around and rocking on your hands and knees, but still need to work on the forward motion. You are working on that, you just started lunging forward.
Diaper Size: You are still in Pamper Swaddlers Sensitive Size 2
Clothing: 3-6 for the most part. You still can wear some of your 0-3 month clothes.
Weight: I took you to the Dr. about a week and a half ago and you were weighing 13.2 lbs (with your clothes on)!
Height: You have your 6 month Dr. appointment next week and that is when they will measure you.
Feedings: You are still primarily nursing but you have started eating a little bit of rice cereal in the evenings.
I am so proud of you! You make all of my bad days better. I love you so very much and you are getting more beautiful everyday. You change so much from day to day. I still have no idea what color your eyes are going to be. Sometimes they are blue with brown in the middle and then other days they look more all brown. I guess only time will tell with that.
I have been contemplating putting you in your bed in your room at nights. Until I make up my mind you are still sleeping in the pack -n- play in our bedroom. That is a big decision for me to make. I'm pretty sure daddy is wanting me to start you in your room soon because you have been waking up earlier than normal (about 5:30 am) and he isn't a morning person so doesn't like it very well.
I love you baby girl! You are perfect and beautiful in every way.
Love you sweet girl,
Mommy
