8 Months

My sweet 2/3 of a year baby girl! I can't believe it. She went through a major growth spurt. She went from wearing 3-6 to 6m being a little big but good in a week & to 6m fitting perfectly the next week. WOAH! Stop growing! :) She looks chunky but she's still petite. 13.2 lbs on her 8 month birthday. I keep seeing/reading/hearing about these 2 month olds who weigh what she did at 5. They'll probably be her size by 4 months. Her 8 month size! Oh yup, 2 Jehovah Witnesses just came to the door & thought she was 4 months old. :) My extremely petite baby girl!

She's still just rolling around. She'll get up on her knees & try to push but that just knocks her over. The last 2 weeks she's started sitting up better. I typically put her down on her butt & if she falls over she falls over. I think she likes to be flat so she can roll to whatever toy she wants or roll where ever she wants. Her feet touch the ground now in her exersaucer & walker and she's moved the walker a little. She pulls herself around in a circle in the exersaucer. She'll be a late crawler & walker but oh well. Why crawl when you can roll? She wants to eat like a crawler though. I've been giving her the yogurt melts for about a month now. She has no problem eating those and she's munched on my banana before. I'm going to start giving her small chunks of veggies to see how she does. Sometimes she's great about getting the yogurt melts in her mouth & sometimes not great. She's learning. She's been sleeping through the night lately, without needing a binkie replace or diaper change. Well, that's about all. My cute petite little barely over 13 pounds baby girl.

7 Months Old

Our little miracle is 7 months old & I can't believe it. It's not ok. Everything up to 6 months was ok but she can't be closer to 1 year old!!! *sobbing* I can't believe how she's grown, both in size & strength. Our munchkin is still not a self sitter but she does good with the boppy helping. :) She rolls like a champ & is constantly rolling here & there to get toys or whatever. She enjoys her exersaucer & we just got her a walker. Her legs are still too short to reach the ground in almost everything. Hahaha! She's so petite which is cute but funny. She sleeps usually about 10 hrs a night which is SO nice. She eats really well too. She seems to like carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, apples, pears, & yogurt. She seems to not care for banana, spinach, & peaches. She has 2 teeth now, her 2 front bottom! Our big growing girl! This is more for me than everyone else but she's still wearing 3-6 & can fit into some 3m clothes. Her legs are starting to be too long for some of those pants. She's also still in size 1 diapers but will be moving up once I am out of them. I'm guessing she's about 12.5 lbs. Well, that's about it so here's her 7 month picture!

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!

5 Months Old

Merry Christmas!

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
