Day #182 (Sun., July 4, 2010) – Independence Day

Today is little Katie’s first Independence Day. Not only that…she is 6 months old today!!! She’s too young to eat hot dogs…organic sweet potato will have to do for now.

The photo to the right shows another device we have purchased recently. It’s a chopper to cut up little Katie’s baby food into “mush”. Does a great job on sweet potato.

My wife gave me an updated list of little Katie’s weight over the past few months. Here are the results:

———————————-

May 5: 17 lbs 6.0 oz

June 4: 18 lbs 3.5 oz
June 13: 18 lbs 5.5 oz
June 17: 18 lbs 7.5 oz
June 25: 18 lbs 7.0 oz

July 4: 18 lbs 10.0 oz

In month #5: (18 lbs 3.5 oz) – (17 lbs 6 oz) = 382.718562 grams
In month #6: (18 lbs 10.0 oz) – (18 lbs 3.5 oz) = 184.2719 grams
In months #5,6: (18 lbs 10 oz) – (17 lbs 6 oz) = 566.990463 grams

My mother-in-law took a “6 month family photo” today of my wife and I (and little Katie of course). It was nice and sunny out on the patio…they turned out nice.
