Keeton is 6 months old already










Well, it is unreal that my baby girl is 6 months old already. It seems like only yesterday that I was pregnant. We celebrated her 6 month birthday with my Mom and Dad. They came over for dinner and Keeton got to eat her miniature cake. She LOVED it! She kept sucking on it like it was a bottle.

Then we went for her 6 month well baby check up. She weighed 16. 5 pounds ( 63%) and she was 25 inches long. (43%) She is getting so big. Her ears did look a little infected again, so had to take another antibiotic. You would never know she had ear infections though. She is such a happy baby and really showed no symptoms. She does have an umbilical hernia. Dr. Harris said that it was nothing to worry about because they typically go away before they turn one. She got four shots and she did really well.

Keeton is eating solid foods three times a day. She can roll over from back to tummy and from tummy to back. She can hold her own bottle. She loves to sit in her exer-saucer. She is the nosiest baby and she loves to watch what's going on around her. She is a very happy baby. She also got her ears pierced! We took her to the doctor and they put numbing cream on her ears. She did really good. She cried for just a minute and then she was ok. Her earrings look so pretty.
