Karina is 6 months

Karina is now 6 months old - unbelievable!!! She is almost 20 lbs (19 lbs. 14 oz.). She remains in the 100% percentile for weight (if you line up 100 average American 6 month old girls, she'd be the heaviest) and 97% for length. I just switched her closet from 6-9 month clothes to 12 month clothes. She is very healthy and happy. She is happiest when her brother and sister are bouncing around for her entertainment. When she is unhappy, she can scream so loud my ears crackle. Karina has 6 teeth and all of her gums are swollen; we are expecting more teeth shortly. She is going through a growth spurt right now, the spoonfuls of baby food can not reach Karina's mouth quick enough to keep her happy. She still has the gag reflex which is keeping her from eating food with a heavier consistency. We are having fun giving her crumbs of table foods - she can't wait to get her hands on the big kid foods she sees everyday. During Karina's 6 month checkup last week, she received several vaccinations which brought tears to not only her eyes but her very sympathetic sister's eyes as well. Below are videos of Karina's newest tricks. (If you receive an auto email of my blog posting, you will need to go to the blog to view the videos).
