Peas and Carrots

Katelyn is almost 6 months old. In fact, she will turn 6 months on February 11th. Last night, I went to the store and couldn't help but stop when I got to the baby food isle. I've been wanting to try Katelyn on solid food for a while now, but followed the advice of many that said wait. Last night I decided I had waited long enough. So I picked up several different foods; carrots, peas, squash, applesauce and peaches. We decided that carrots would be her first food and she really liked it. Here's the evidence. (I know only a mom would find this cute.)

Katelyn: 5 Months Old

Katelyn has all of a sudden started saying "ba ba and da da and ga ga". 

She sleeps from 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. However, she usually cries at about 4 each morning because she has flipped over onto her stomach and can't figure out how to get back over. We just go flip her back over and she's out again till morning. It's absolute heaven!

She has really started reaching for and grasping objects. I will cheer for her when she picks something up and she just glows with pride for herself.

I love her little laugh. Sometimes all you have to do is look at her and she will giggle. 

I'm not sure if she is beginning to teethe, but she sure does drool a lot and she sucks on her bottom lip. She also loooves her thumb. 

Just Some Random Cuteness

Katelyn tried out her highchair and loved it. She loves to be able to see everything that is going on. We also started feeding her some rice cereal with a spoon...she does pretty good with it.

Sleeping like a baby.
This was a hit! Katelyn loves her little farm jumperoo. 
Justin and I took her to Roger's Park. It was a little chilly, but the weather was actually really nice.
