fashionably tall

you mean these are not meant to be shorts?

Today was Kaellyn's 6-month pediatrician appointment and she has been determined thriving and healthy. And apparently very long. At 6 months she weighs 16 lbs. 10 oz. (70th percentile) and is 27 3/4 inches long (98th percentile). Good to know that all baby pants aren't really meant to be capris after all. You know, I wasn't aware that vaccinations were given again at 6-months (I must have skipped this chapter in "the book"). Consequently, I wasn't prepared for today's crankiness. Teething and shots do not a happy baby make. The doctor also determined that Kaellyn may or may not start crawling soon, may or may not break her first tooth soon, and may or may not develop "stranger anxiety" soon. Who needs a silly book?!

socks do NOT go with capris!

Have I mentioned that I'm really excited about Fall for the first time ever? Not only does the passing of the seasons indicate that we are getting closer to moving into our new house and the return of yummy stoups, but fall also means football! This means Kaellyn can alternate between her Green Bay Packer and Redskins outfits! She can also wear the 238 pairs of baby socks we received as gifts and hand-me-downs. Baby socks come in all colors and patterns and are so darn cute. But like me, my Baby just doesn't seem to like having her feet confined and she constantly kicks them off. Maybe if her feet truly are a little cold she will be more inclined to keep socks on.

Oh, and speaking of fashion, and fall, I came across this gorgeous 1 Madison Rouched Down jacket on Amazon.com, marked down to $29.50 from $250.00! With my Amazon Prime membership, I was entitled to free shipping and it was further discounted to $23.00. Unbelievable! So of course I couldn't pass it up. I ordered it in black because I already have a similar, but longer, style coat in brown. It arrived today and I must say, the picture does it absolutely no justice - it is shiny, lined with soft faux fur, and even more beautiful in person!
