Kaelia - 6 Months

Kaelia has continued to grow this past month; she is now 16.3 lbs., 26 inches long, and has a head circumference of 16.3 inches. While she learned to roll from front to back at the start of the month, Kaelia's primary motor growth has been in sitting up. She has always loved this position and wanted to be held and placed in her bumbo this way. Now that she can do the task on her own, she wants nothing to do with laying down any more. And Kaelia's favorite part about sitting up is that she can interact with her sister more - basically this means she can try to pull Taelyn's hair and take her toys away!

Not only are Kaelia's stomach muscles getting stronger, but her legs are stronger too. When she is not in a sitting position, Kaelia likes to be in a standing position with some help, of course. She is grasp on to our fingers to keep herself from falling over, and stand on her little legs with ease. We even got her to hold on the coffee table and stand on her own! It is truly amazing to see how strong her legs are.

Aside from Kaelia's physical development this month, her personality has continued to sparkle. She still loves to laugh and smile, and she will often blow bubbles or make raspberry sounds with her lips; Taelyn gets a big kick out of this, so Kaelia will perform these little tricks to entertain her sister.
