My Baby Katelyn...4 1/2 months

Katelyn is now almost 4 1/2 months old.  At her 4 month doctor's appointment she weighed 13 lbs. 5 oz. which put her in the 50th percentile.  She had grown 2 inches since her 2 month visit and is now 25 1/2 inches which puts her in the 90th percentile. Maybe she'll be tall like her daddy. She is such a great baby with a big personality. Here are some of the things she does...

1. She's rolled over several times, but can't quite figure out what to do from there. She will usually scream until you turn her back over. She isn't much for tummy time, but will lift her head pretty high a couple of times, then give up and suck her thumb with her face buried in the blanket..pretty cute.

2. She smiles and giggles at anyone who is willing to make silly noises and faces at her. She is a bit ticklish on her sides and back.

3. She is sleeping through the night!! Hallelujah, praise God! We put her to bed around 7 p.m. and she is out until around 6:30 or 7 the next morning. She started that a couple of days before she turned 4 months old.

4. She loves to be held sitting up so she can see what's going on. She likes her Bumbo seat for only a few minutes because I think it makes her feel too confined. She is definitely a wiggle worm.

5. Her Pawpaw says she likes to watch cartoons and her favorite is Handy Manny :). (Hey, he keeps her for me while I work, so if he lets her watch TV, oh well, I'm just grateful he is willing to keep her)

6. She grasps toys and can shake them around for a few seconds. She usually ends up beating herself in the face with them.

7. She can put her big toe in her mouth. It's cute to watch her play with her feet.

I actually hear her waking up now....6:30 on the dot.

What a difference a year makes...

Last Christmas Justin and I had just recently found out we were pregnant. In fact, we found out December 3rd last year. We could only imagine what our next Christmas would be like and now here we are a year later and we have our beautiful little girl. This Christmas will be so much fun.



Here is a picture from December 4th this year. It snowed and we took Katelyn out for just a second to snap a couple photos.
