Six Months Old and Trying not to Lose the Binky

Britton had her sixth month check last week. She passed with flying colors. She is still the lightest of the three kids. She is 27 inches, 16 lbs 10 ounces. She is in the 75th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. It is funny to see the records for the other kids' checkups. Britton and Caitlyn are the same height at six months but Caitlyn weighed a pound more. William was 2 inches taller than Britton is and 2 pounds heavier. So she is healthy just not as chunky. She is very happy, looks a lot like William minus the double chin, and she thinks that her siblings are hilarious. She loves to watch them and giggle. She kind of sits by herself, as long as there isn't anything hard within falling distance. She is starting to really roll to things, until she forgets that she can roll off of her stomach and starts to freak out. She is also starting to take an interest in paper, how it crumples and putting it in her mouth.

I came to a realization when we were in Salt Lake during Brandon's furlough week. William and I were retracing our steps trying to find Britton's binky after she spit it out by one of the fountains on temple square and I decided we needed a binky clip. I don't know why we never got one with William, Caitlyn didn't need one because she went completely thumb by four months, but I decided it was time. So I made one. I can't take full credit, I found some blogs that talked about making one. If you decide to try it, you need about 10 inches of ribbon, snaps, and a suspender clip. No sewing involved and it was done in about five minutes. Now there is less chance of the binky falling on the ground. And it gives Britton something else to play with.
