Welcome to the Cutforth Family Blog. This blog provides insight into the lives of Dave, Shawnna and Kaitlyn Cutforth. Of course, since Kaitlyn is the newest (and cutest) member of our family, most of the focus is on her development and the fun things we do as parents.

6 Month Checkup

Today, I took Kaitlyn to her 6 month checkup at the doctor. She weighed in at 18 lbs 11 oz and measured 27 inches long. She's still well above average in both height and weight. They say that once she starts crawling and walking, her weight will level off, but she's still very tall - I think we know who she gets that from ;-)

She got three shots this time (including a flu shot) and will have to go back in 4 weeks to get a follow-up flu shot - ugh. She cried and screamed when she got the shots just like last time, but once it was over, she calmed down quickly and fell asleep in my arms. Other than that, she's in perfect health and the doctor says she can start eating more solids, so we'll start feeding her solids for breakfast and lunch as well as her current evening meal of pureed fruit & veggies.

I can't believe she is already 6 months old... time goes by so quickly! ENJOY every minute. Our youngest is now 18 months old and she's not a baby anymore... It makes me want to have another one... yeah, right! :o)
