1/2 birthday

Karlee had her 6 month check up today. All is well and Karlee is growing like a weed. She weighs 14 lbs 3 oz and is 26 3/4 inches. The nurse said she had long legs and could end up being tall. My dad's side of the family had some giants on it so it could be possible.

No more shots for a while. Thank goodness. Bearing any illness, we only have to go back for a weight check at 9 months. We're having problems getting Karlee to sit on her own. She wants to stand instead. If we let her pull herself up from the lying position, she goes straight to standing and smiles the whole way up. Dr. Greer said she was advancing fast for her age on grasping things and bringing them to her mouth. We have to keep all eating utensils and glasses from the edge of the table when we are eating because she grabs everything. She's also starting to notice everything we put in our mouths and opens hers like she wants some. It is too funny. Last night she started making "oo ugh ugh" noises if I didn't feed her fast enough and slapping the tray. She truly is a very funny individual.
