I'd be lying if I told you I wrote this while Kai was still 6 months. But, I did take his monthly photo while he was still technically 6 months! At Kai's 6 month appointment- he measured in the 3rd percentile for weight and the 87th percentile for height! Tall and thin! We're going to keep working on those solids.
Likes:
Playing with toys, hanging out with his grandparents, grabbing Harriet's hair, playing is his exersaucer, chewing his feet, biting Sophie the giraffe toy

Dislikes:
Being left alone in a room for a few moments, not eating in the middle of the night, mittens
Milestones:
Being a giraffe for Halloween, gaining a tooth, just starting to begin crawling (more of an army crawl!), got sick for the first time- pink eye in both eyes, ear infection and a cold.
Diaper Size:
Size 2 and now 3 after too many explosions
Clothing Size:
Mostly 6 months, things are still too short if they fit in the waist
Feeding:
We attempted more solids this month. You weren't a fan at first, but you are starting to like them more. We started with rice cereal, then added bananas, and are now doing fruit and veggie purees. (I had thought I'd maybe make some homemade ones, but so far we've been sticking to the premade pouches and jar food- much easier!) You love avocados! You prefer to feed yourself, opposed to a spoon.
Nicknames:
Kai Guy, Buddy Boy, Baby Kai at daycare
Sleep:
You regressed in sleep, partially due to the sickness. You are now waking up in the middle of the night, wanting to eat, and then you end up in our bed. This wasn't ever something I thought we'd do, but it makes it so we sleep, so sometimes we do what ywe gotta do. We're going to work on this area.
Gear Used Frequently:
The exersaucer, Oball, Sophie the giraffe, Indestructible books
Recent Outings and Events:
You celebrated Halloween this month. You wore your giraffe costume to music class on Friday with Mormor. Then on Halloween you put the costume on and we "trick or treated" in the neighborhood. More like we went to some neighbor's homes and showed off your costume, and Mom and Dad got a few treats.
It was also the election this month- you voted early and often with Mommy early in the morning, and with Daddy after work. Our family had been hoping to elect Hilary as the first female president, but things didn't work out as we had wanted. That's democracy, well, that's the Electoral College, but you'll learn more about that later in school. We hope you live in a world of acceptance and peace. Kai Guy- We are a bit uncertain with the political future, but we are hoping for the best. You were present at the Election Party and you saw people's disappointment as the results came in- know this is because you are surrounded by people who work so hard for others and want all people to feel respected. I hope you can be a beacon of light for our future.
