I’ve got nothing to do today but smile*

Our sweet Katiebelle is six months old today! Can you believe it? I really cannot. Every growth spurt has felt pretty crazy to me — remember when she started doing tummy time in earnest? — but this most recent one feels particularly significant. She’s so big!

Katie loves to sit up, and even practices standing…

Quelle nutball

She is very aware of the world: who’s around the corner, what kind of music is playing, if the wind is blowing in her face, and so on. And she knows what she likes! (Soft music, yes; wind blowing in her face, no.) She gobbles down solids at lunchtime every day.

Still no teeth, even though we’re convinced every fussy moment is a sign of dental development (LOL). Yes, DN and I can be a little hyperactive when it comes to being parents. I blame the pandemic and spending pretty much every waking moment staring at Katie.

6 months ago!

But can you really blame us?!

*Simon and Garfunkel, “The Only Living Boy in New York,” Katie’s favorite new song. DN and I like to give each other the babe-o report (the only news you need etc. etc.) if one of us has been doing something else.
