In case you were wondering what all the late-night screaming was about last week, Kayden was working on sprouting her first tooth. It’s been a challenge trying to get a photo of it since she’s not a fan of the camera’s flash…so every time we bust out the camera, the smiles go away. Here’s the best I could do to document the little lower chopper.

The economy is still melting down, we’ve had our first major storm of the season, and Kayden is sitting up and semi-crawling!

She’s now at the 7 month mark and from what we all can recall (it’s a haze though), she’s a lot stronger than Xander was at this point. The point here: don’t mess with Kayden.

I forgot to post her vital stats for the 6 month checkup…my excuse? I was on the other side of the planet. Better late than never so here we go:

• Weight: 18 pounds, 1/2 ounce (75-90th percentile)
• Height: 27.5″ (90th percentile)
• Head circumference: 17.25″ (75th percentile)

Xander is up to his usual tricks, hoarding toys and not letting little sis play with anything. Here he is making short work of a bagel.
