How many medical professionals does it take...




Okay So Kiersten had her 6 month appointment yesterday. I thought that she was tall, because she is fitting into a lot of her 9 month clothes and I had to buy her 9 month pj's. Anyhow evidently clothing companies do not know how big a 6 month old is. And it takes 4 medical professionals to measure my child...4 different times, and they all came up with the same conclusion, 26 inches. I guess they couldn't really believe it because she was at 90 percentile in height last appointment and she is only at 52% now. So she is 52% in height, 70% in weight, and 80% head circumference.
The doctor is a little concerned because the muscles of her neck on the left side don't appear as strong as those on the right so she tends to tip her head to the left a lot. (which when she was really little she would never turn her head to the left). So her doctor referred us to an eye doctor to make sure she is seeing okay and doesn't have anything going on behind her eyes (evidently some kids tip there head if they can only see good out of one eye, to compensate). She has that appointment August 4th. then we have to schedule an appointment with a physical therapist to help show us ways to stretch or strengthen those muscles. I'm going to see what the eye doctor says first before I schedule the appointment with the physical therapist. So I will update everyone then. But for now here is a couple more picture!!

Our baby Girl!!

Just had to post these pictures... I was doing the dishes in the kitchen...and Kiersten was playing in her exersaucer... after a couple minutes of being in the kitchen she wasn't making any more noise!! I rounded the corner to check on her and here is what I saw:









then yesterday I was getting ready to feed her and gave her a spoon to play with...maybe she will be feeding herself before we know it... :)









Then this morning I couldn't help but take more pics of her on the floor...

Happy Half Birthday to you!!

Kiersten is officially 6 months old today. She isn't sitting up yet on her own...she really has no interest. She will sit on your lap a few seconds without toppling over but that's the extent of it. IF you try to sit her on the floor she just throws herself backwards and lays down to roll. She loves to roll around on the floor. She chases the cat...rolling haha. For now the cat can get away... I have a feeling he will be in trouble when she starts walking. Anyhow I believe George and I plan on going and getting her first professional pictures done this weekend on Saturday!! We will see!! If we do I will post them on here when we get them back!!

Addicted to tv at only 6 months

Kiersten is a big time people watcher already. I take her to daycare and every time they bring her little toys to play with...she just lets them sit there...and she watches all the babies. Well... she also is addicted to TV watching as well. We laid her near the couch in the middle of the living room yesterday and she rolled herself across the living room and positioned herself right in the middle of her play mat and proceeded to lay there and watch TV forever!! Very content ha ha. I just couldn't believe she put herself there. So here are pics to prove it!!
