Visitors

This weekend, my parents flew over from Montana for a visit. We walked around Greenlake, visited Volunteer Park and the Sculpture Garden, did a little shopping, and played some games. But mostly they were here to see little miss Kate. She loved being the center of attention for three days. Here they are with the flowers in the greenhouse at Volunteer Park.

One of my favorite pictures with Grandma Sue

Yes, she loves to hang onto long hair!

Whispering with Grandpa Ben

Don't forget to watch the very cute video below of Katelynn playing with Grandpa.

Playing with Grandpa Ben

5 months

Just wanted to share a couple of photos from yesterday when Katelynn turned 5 months old. She can sit up pretty good these days. We just use a boppy pillow around her in case she takes a dive. She had a dr visit on Tuesday and was up to 13 lbs 5 oz, maintaining that 15-20th percentile. In honor of turning 5 months old, we finally got out the 3-6 month size sleepers. This outfit, though, is still all 0-3 months! She's a cute little thing.

Sitting up!

Yummy!

New Skills!

I started on my back, but mom was a little slow getting the camera!



Here I go again!



And look at me sit with just a little support...

New Photos

Katelynn got an exersaucer a couple of weeks ago. She loves it! She must have short legs though, because I had to maneuver it to be shorter than the shortest setting so her legs can touch. Today, her favorite thing to do was chew on the star.

A couple of weeks ago she found her feet. She can almost get them in her mouth!

Why eat my food when I can have a bib?

Uh, mom, I think I look like a boy today...

And here is me with my girl for my first Mother's Day. Katelynn had a pretty rough day that day, but I was sure glad to be her mother.
Coming soon: hopefully I can capture her rolling over on video! Today she rolled from her back to her front FOUR times. And she is getting sooo close to sitting up independently. She did almost a minute on her own the other day. You go, girl!

Giggles Finally Caught on Video!

Reflux

At her four month check-up, we discussed Katelynn's eating problems with the doctor and we think Katelynn has reflux. She started some meds but they don't seem to be helping much, so we've also started seeing a feeding specialist at the SLP clinic. For those of you who may be confused, speech therapy=oral motor issues, which is why they can also evaluate your suck and swallow. The cool part is that Katelynn's Aunt Stephanie works in the SLP office so we got to see her again the other day. And, the SLP recommended starting solids so here it goes! She's not real good at actually keeping it in her mouth yet, but she seems to enjoy it.

Yeah, I'm cute.

Daddy is starting my education early. Does he realize I won't be old enough to vote until 2025?

Check out my new shades.

I love my high chair and my toys, especially this one that spins around.

Sometimes I have to entertain myself while mom is showering.
