6 Months Old

Katie's First Snowy Day

6 Months Old

So our munchkin is 6 months old, I can't believe it! She's a little behind on a few things but not rolling or eating. She eats really good. Soon she'll be moving into her crib at nights. She already sleeps by herself in the pack n play on her belly. She loves her belly sleep. The older she gets the more exhausting it is being a mom. I can't imagine when she starts crawling, I'm in trouble. Well, that's about it. I'll leave you with her stats.

11 lbs 12 oz & 23.5 inches

Updates on Katie

My last post was just pictures so I guess I shall write a little about life currently/recently. Our bug a boo is 5.5 months old & I can't believe it. Please stop! I want to experience my bug as a newborn, hours old! I think about what I'd do differently but you can't go back. She is getting so fun. I am her mom & that fact is amazing. I think people would call me a laid-back mom. I didn't mind letting family calm her when she cried, if fact I usually laughed. She's very stubborn & knows what she wants when she wants. There were times when she just wanted me, no one else, & that truly was amazing! Being the person who as soon as she was in my arms she was calm & went right to sleep. I can't say that I've never taken her for granted because there are times I have. But there are also times when I'm in complete awe of what is. I thank God every night for her, Every Single Night! But enough with the gush!

Our girl can roll over front to back & back to front. I don't know if she has the hang of it but she can do it. :) She is starting to enjoy tummy time & I am more confident letting her sit more upright in her swing. She actually plays with toys now & can grab things quite well. Her little grasp can hurt! My face or hands have bared the scratches. She is fasinated by our dogs. If they're really close she'll grab at them or touch them. Cinnamon still prefers her space from Katie but once in a while she'll come close & has even kissed her. I think she's definitely accepted by them, even if it's stubbornly. :) Our girl is now eating! What?!?! My baby can't be moving onto foods yet! But she is! She's had rice cereal & oatmeal and she has tried broccoli, avocado, & carrots. She's also gotten tastes of foods from family members but I'm talking about sitting in her seat or bumbo & eating. Like a big girl! She's getting the hang of eating finally & eats pretty well. I don't know if it's just because carrots were the last new taste for her but she seems to love carrots. Of course we'll try avocado again & she may love that too. I think corn is the next new veggie she'll try. I make my own baby food & I actually love it. It's a bit of a pain in the butt but I also really enjoy it. I like knowing her food is fresh & it's really easy. I smashed bananas today & also made applesauce. So weird it is to be making baby food when there are times I can't believe we have a baby. Or that she's nearly 6 months old! EEK!

Well, that's about it. The creature is stirring & it's eating time. Have a great day/week!

4 Months

Our Bug AKA Peanut is now 4 months old. I can't believe it! I keep expecting to see these big weight jumps & nope, not happening. She still weighs less than some people's 1 month olds. Crazy! Our crazy amazing love bug is

10 lbs & 22.5 inches long!

Nope, not a typo, she really is only 10 lbs and the doctor is fine with it. :) She tells me she'll catch up when we move her to solid foods which she recommends around 5 months since her head is still a little wobbly. I've cheated & let her taste a few foods but she's definitely still a breast baby. :) So, to pictures!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

yes, she has attitude

4 Months old

3 Months!

Our miracle is 3 months old, I can't believe it. She's growing & changing so quickly! At 2 months she weighed 8 lbs 6 oz. Because I'm still doing wound care for my csection I asked to weigh her yesterday which was Halloween & her 3 month birthday. A whooping 9lbs 4oz! I was shocked because I completely expected to see 10-4. I just had a feeling she'd be that big. I can't believe she weighed a whole lb smaller. Oh well, she's still growing & gaining. Here are a few pictures!

Life is great! I love being a mom & I love watching Mike as a dad. He's a great dad. Most of the time at least. :) We just got back from visiting family in California. Katie got to meet a bunch of people for the first time but my favorite meetings were my dad & Mike's grandpa. I will cherish all the pictures I took on vacation & really all pictures I've taken of Katie. I need to do a 2 month photo shoot & will try to get to it this week. Monday we were driving home still & today was Katie's 2 month well-baby aka shots! No way I'm trying a photo shoot with a fussy baby. :) As you see, she's growing so fast. I can't believe my tiny baby is already almost 8.5 lbs and that some newborns are that size. She looks & feels so big! I'll post pictures later this week, once I get a good photo shoot in. :)
