Happy Half Birthday, M!

I am not sure how it happened or where the time is going, but McKenna was officially 6 months old yesterday. Kyle and I were talking about how it feels like it was just yesterday that we were checking in to Northside Hospital and then being rolled in for a C-Section and then introducing her to family and friends. And now she is 6 months old with a budding personality (dramatic + sensitive) and is amazing us every day with her “circus tricks”.

6months

Percentiles & Stats
Height
: 28” (+ some)
Weight: 20 pounds, 11 ounces
Percentiles: >97%

She is currently wearing 12 month clothes and has 2 little sharp teeth and he can roll from back to front and front to back (when she wants to). She can sit up on her own, but we get a little nervous so tend to hover and only let her do it on soft surfaces. She has started reaching for the dogs and they are a little unsure.  She loves green beans and apples and bananas and well, really any food.  Obviously, she is a Shanahan and will be ready for Shanahan portions when she visits Granddad Dave and Grandma Cory-Trish in Asheville or St. Pete. We started making our own baby food and I cannot wait to mix and match foods. One of her most favorite things to do is play with her feet and take her socks off. OH! AND SHE STARTED GIGGLING MORE AND MORE which seriously, lights up our world.  and, sadly the 6 month sticker barely made it into the baby book because 40% of it made it into her mouth.

This little munchkin is really just growing too fast. I need to pause time and love on her a little bit more. But, like always… we are excited to see what this month brings and how much more she develops and grows.
