Krober Happenings: Six Months Old

Happy Half Birthday Kate and Grayson! It is hard to believe they have been apart of our family for 6 months. Most days it seems like they’ve been with us forever. At their 6 month check up Kate weighed 17lbs 4oz and is 25.67in long. Grayson weighed 16lbs .3oz and is 25.59in long. Both got their 3rd round of shots. Grayson again seemed to handle them well and Kate again got a fever. This time it only lasted about 12 hours.

Their 6th month was a busy month in many ways. The twins and I celebrated the 4th of July in Coulee while Tim had to work. We watched the fireworks on TV and out the window from the park. We started eating rice cereal in the evenings before bath.

The Krober family all gathered in Wenatchee for a weekend. Kate and Grayson got to meet Uncle Chad, Aunt Megan and cousins Ava, Brennan and Lucia. They also got to see Aunt Becca, cousins Sophia and Elise and Oma and Papa. While in Wenatchee we stayed in a hotel and the twins did great! I’m positive the neighbors didn’t even know there were babies in our room.

Thanks to my Mom, Tim and I were able to get away for a day. We went to Seattle for a Mariner’s game. It poured rain and the Mariner’s lost but we still had a nice time.

We got to celebrate cousin Landon’s 1st Birthday and his dedication. We had a nice weekend with friends and family. My sister in law, Val’s, family came from Oklahoma and Nebraska to take in the festivities. It was nice to see them again.

Kate is sleeping pretty much the same as last month except many nights she is asleep by 7:30pm and has started waking up closer to 6:30am. Thankfully Tim doesn’t mind getting up with our early risers while I sleep a little longer ☺ The night of July 27th was a big night…she went to sleep at 7:30 and didn’t wake up until 6:30am! She officially slept through the night. That last night feeding is being fazed out!!!!!!! The feeding schedule has shifted by an hour. She is eating 6-7 oz at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm with rice cereal at 6pm. Kate is trying really hard to sit up. She is our talker and talks even if no one is listening. Her legs are always in the air and she has discovered her toes are fun to chew on. She has also really started to notice our dog Addy. Her favorite toys are the activity bouncer, play mat, bee teething toy, stuffed monkey and a couple books that squeak. Her personality is really starting to show ☺

Grayson is sleeping pretty much the same as last month except many nights he is asleep by 7:30pm and has started waking up closer to 6:30am. Thankfully Tim doesn’t mind getting up with our early risers while I sleep a little longer ☺ He was still sleeping in the sleeper but was starting to get uncomfortable so on July 22nd we moved him to the crib. He had a harder transition than Kate. He would roll over and wake himself up. We had a few rough nights but overall I can’t complain. The night of July 27th was a big night…he went to sleep at 7:30 and didn’t wake up until 6:30am! He officially slept through the night. That last night feeding is being fazed out!!!!!!! The feeding schedule has shifted by an hour. He is eating 6-7 oz at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 7pm with rice cereal at 6pm. Grayson rolled over this month and is now unstoppable! He rolls allover the place! He is our happy boy who giggles and talks all the time. He loves any toy that makes noise, the activity bouncer and books. Grayson is beginning to pick up toys and move them between hands. It won’t be long and he’ll be crawling allover the place.

I have LOVED watching them develop and learn new things this month. It has been one of the easier months as far as taking care of them. We have had a few rough days but I think we’re all getting the hang of it!
