Big Nine Month Old!

Hey everybody! On Friday, I celebrated my NINE month birthday!

I have been having so much fun with Mommy and Daddy and have

been very busy! 

I am now walking all over the house by holding onto Mommy

and Daddy's fingers and even tried the stairs the other day

(with help from Daddy of course)! I am finally enjoying some

finger foods (Lil' Crunchies are my favorite) and am eating

some big girl meals. I'm still working on perfecting the use 

of my sippy cup though. I'm awesome at drinking from a 

cup without a lid, if someone holds it for me, but I just do not

love the sippy.  I've been doing a lot of pulling up and have also

started doing "soooo big"! 

I am 8 Months Old!!!

That's right folks I am now officially 8 months old (ok and a week or two

but who's counting??)! I really want to walk, and I just want to be standing

all the time. I am done with this crawling thing. Sometimes

I can pull myself up, but not always. I have practiced some walking

with the help of my toy stroller that Grammy bought me for

Christmas (see the video below). I am working on lots of new

words like "da-da" and "ma-ma". I also  say "hi" sometimes, and I really like to wave,

especially to myself in the mirror. I eat three good big girl meals

a day now, and am working on puffs and lil' crunchies. I also have learned how

to clap, crawl on my hands and knees, and sit up all on my own within

the last 3 days! I'm pretty sure we are close to getting another

tooth too because I've been chewing on my hands and a little fussy

in the evenings. The past few weeks has been very busy with Easter and

getting a new cousin. I even got to go to Baby Olivia's baptism last

weekend! With the weather warming up, Mommy and Daddy have been

getting me outside for plenty of walks and trips to the park. Check out some

pictures of my travels and adventures!

My first go at piggytails! :)

Big 8 Month Old!

 

I'm a Big Cousin!!!

This morning at 10:03 AM, my brand new cousin Olivia Marie was born!

She is a little peanut of a thing, weighing in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.

I haven't gotten to meet her yet...stupid hospital rules, but I'm super

excited! Mommy and Daddy did get to go visit and brought back some

really cute pictures. Congratulations Aunt Holly, Uncle Rich, and 

Zachary!

We are proud to introduce little Olivia!

I am 7 month's old today!!

Well another month has come and gone, the time is just flying by!

We can't believe it has been 7 month's already. I am really starting

to move with the crawling (see below), and I am working

on a couple of more teeth. I have started drinking from

a sippy cup, and am really digging lots of new foods

that Mommy and Daddy have been giving me. I have

been really good about taking naps lately, which Mommy

and Daddy really seem to love. I have also started to "wave"

when people wave to me, however it only seems to be

when I am laying down.

That's all for now. Enjoy the usual adorable pictures!

No pictures please! I'm in a meeting!

What? Is my hair sticking up???

Katelynn's Crawling!!

So earlier this week I started "crawling" after my toys.

Mommy and Daddy were so surprised and proud of me!

I am still working on the hand /arm/leg coordination,

but I am getting there! I can get across my playroom,

and the basement is my playground now. For some reason I have

become really camera shy lately so this is the best video

Mommy and Daddy have been able to get. Enjoy! (the good stuff

doesn't start till about the 1:30 mark)

Well hello there...

6 MONTHS OLD!!!!!

Thats right folks as of February 7th I am the big 1/2!

It has been such an amazing, wild ride these past 6 months.

I am sitting up and playing, getting really close to crawling (I will scoot around

and turn myself, but haven't actually gotten the crawl yet), and I now have

2 teeth!! I am such a little big girl, and Mommy and Daddy

are so proud of me. I am really loving all my toys now, and will sit

and play for longer periods of time. On the food front I am getting lots of big

girl food now. We started out with rice cereal, moved on to oatmeal,

and now I am getting veggies! I really liked the string beans,

threw up carrots all over, and now we are on to sweet potatoes,

which I really like too! So two out of three isn't bad.

For the past couple of day's I have been visited by mean old

Mister Snuffles, who invited his friend, mean old Mister

Hackey Cough. I am going to the doctor on Tuesday, so hopefully

they can give me something to help, cause Mommy and Daddy

feel so bad for me. Also, in case you have been living in a

cave, we had our second blizzard since I was born! I didn't

get to go play cause of my cold, but I did get a picture standing

next to the snow! That's about it for now I think...Katelynn out!

We start drinkin' at 6 months 'round these parts

I got cold! What???

String beans pretty good

Carrotts yuck (taken shortly before puking all over)

Sweet potato's yyyuuuummmmmyyyy!

5 Months old (or so)((ok so Mommy and Daddy don't really update as often as they should))
So I am 5 months and a week or so and we can't believe it has been 5 months
already! I am turning into such a big girl now! I am doing really well
eating my cereal, I am sitting up and playing with my toys, and even
had some yogurt! My teeth are just about through in the front, on the bottom
and we think there are a few more in there too! I am getting really
close to crawling, I even managed a couple of "crawls" the other
night. Mommy and Daddy are so proud! So all in all
things are going very well. We have so much fun as a family
and can't wait for all the new stuff I will be doing come my 6 month
birthday!

And now as usual pictures and video's of my kapades!!
