I can't believe it has been 6 months and I am jsut getting to the updating this blog! That is so sad. :( I can't believe Katie is 6 months old. I can't believe I have nursed her for 6 months, I can't believe I haven't lost my mind, and I can't believe how lucky I am to have had this beautiful baby in my life for 6 months. Those things along with a bunch of others blows my mind. How I managed to survive and keep Katie well and thriving is something I didn't know I could do. With the help and support and love from all our family and friends Brian and I have made it through without any catastrophies. Thank God. Katie is doing wonderful. She is such a happy baby and oh so healthy. She is so big. I can't wait for her doctor's apt on Monday to see how big she really is. Her doctor's apts so far have all been good reports and besides a small case of Thrush (which I hear is pretty common) she has been healthy. Bri and I even had a horrible headcold and cough 2 weeks ago and are still battling the cough at night and Katie managed to fight it off. Thank you breastmilk I like to say. I am convinced she is healthy and (knock on wood) hasn't gotten sick because I continued nursing, and for those of you out there who have exclusively nursed you know it's not easy. (not using a bottle... is even harder!!!). 6 months down... 6 months to go. I must say I am kinda proud of myself for sticking with it. I remember some nights when she was 2 months old when I threw my arms up and said "I've had it, get a bottle Brian" but I stuck it out and I believe it was the right decision no matter how hard it was.
Here are a few photos from her previous "well" visits to the doctor

2 months visit. Katie was in the 90% for height adn weight! good job baby girl!

Pretty girl! so good for her shots!
