6 months?!?! Where did the time go?

Well, we've managed to keep Kaylee alive for 6 months now.  And we are on a steady march towards her first birthday.  Scary!

Kaylee's eczema is clearing up nicely.  Between the lotion, cod liver oil, peplic, probiotics, and organic formula, she is not too itchy at all!  And she doesn't have scaly, blotchy patches.  Yay!  We liked the naturopath so much that we actually switched over to them.  It is so much more relaxed and I feel like the doctor actually has time to listen to me.  Dr. Anna does everything - measuring, weighing, vaccinations, etc.  So she actually spends the whole appointment with us.  And I feel like it gels better with my philosophies as well.

First bite of solid foods!
We've starting Kaylee on solids.  I went to a baby food making party with the other moms I hang out with.  Each of us brought a fruit/vegetable and we steamed them and pureed them.  Then we divided up the goods and we are now well stocked.  Kaylee's tried spinach, pears, apples, sweet potatoes and carrots.  Sweet Potatoes were by far the favorite, with pears a close second. 

Spinach!
Kaylee also got to participate in a early childhood cognitive study at the UW.  She wasn't that excited about it, but she did like she got to pick out a toy!  She was in a pretty bad mood that day, but the UW people didn't seem to mind.



Kaylee is continuing her baby yoga, and I've added a "mom and me" yoga class.  Yoga for me, but Kaylee comes along.  We'll see how this goes....haha!  I've also been adding swimming into my schedule.  It is had to find the time and still have enough time to homework, but I continue to try to balance everything.  Some days I feel like I am going 100 miles per hour.
