Cate is 6.5 months and is my eating champ-- she's tried apples, bananas, & pears and loves them all so far... although I fed her some carrots the other day and she puked them up. Twice. Profusely. So maybe she's not quite ready for the roughage of veggies yet. We just tried oatmeal today and she seems to find its taste and texture far superior to rice cereal.We do strongly suspect she's allergic to oranges since any time I have them she scratches her ears incessantly as if she has an ear infection (which she doesn't). Corey was very allergic to oranges as a child so it stands to reason. I'm also a little suspicious of the pears because she's starting to scratch her ears again and there's family history of pear/peach allergy too. We'll just see where it takes us. It's just so nice she can (& will) eat food!
Cate still loves to jump and stand and sit and be a part of any rough housing that's going on but she still doesn't really roll anymore although she tolerates tummy time a lot better than James ever did. Her carseat is also getting pretty hefty so I did an unofficial weigh in today and she's tipping the scales at 20+ lbs-- James was barely (seriously, just barely) 20 lbs when he was a year old! We almost couldn't face his carseat forward because he barely weighed enough! We'll see what the official weight is in a couple weeks and see how tall she's getting too. If James doesn't watch out, his little sister may be big enough to tackle him soon enough!

Love those eyes and those cheeks!
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, WOW - she is a big girl. My back aches for you. Ashlin was the same as James, barely 20lbs at 1 year.
Oh my gosh she is a little eater! At least she will be able to defend herself with a fun and rowdy older brother. Why is it that the boys are skinny minnies and the girls have the beef? Not fair! Glad to hear you guys had such a fun time at super bowl. The bouncer looked like a blast- Hugs. Aimee
