- Katelyn 1 1/2 months -

Niece to Christan & David and cousin to Kathryn

She's getting so big ! She's sooo cute too !

Update on Kathryn

Kathryn is doing great !!! She can stand and cruise along holding on to the furniture. Sometimes, she even just likes to stand up at daddy's chair so she can pound on it. Ha Ha !!! She opens and closes drawers just to have something to do. She crawls all over the place that it is always hard to keep an eye on her. My little Wonderer. Kathryn waves hi and bye to everyone and everything. She still has a fascination with lights and ceiling fans. Oh boy ! Talking is another one of Kathryn's passions. She can just talk forever even if you can't hold a conversation, she can. Putting words together is something new for her. If she wants a bottle she says "mama baba" or "baba mama". How cute :) Kathryn started to come to mama when she gets tired. She is still has a case of seperation anxiety though, not wanting mama to leave the room. It's tough but I find a way around it by distracting her with talking toys while I head into the kitchen or to the bathroom real quick while she plays in her saucer. kathryn also loves to play with her Leap frog table and the horn on her ride on/stand up walker. Beep! Beep! Eating is another favorite pass time for her. She eats fruits, veggies, cereal, veggie and fruit puffs, and her meat meals. Yummy ! Yummy ! I give her some table food too sometimes if I know she can swallow it. When Kathryn wants to eat she says "eat" or "hungy". How funny ! When Kathryn is looking for me or David she will call for "ma", "mama", "dada", or "daddy". She can also say "nana". Besides talking Kathryn makes lots of noises and faces too. The raspberries, the yelling, the fake coughing and the sniffling is so adorable. I always ask myself " What would I do without her?" She is the highlight of my life. My little ray of sunshine. She definatley makes me smile, especially when she plays peek-a-boo in her saucer.

Kathryn and Mommy had a great time at the Mall of America . The Teddy Bear Band was there and we sang and danced. Afterwards Mommy and Kathryn had lunch with their friends. It was a big table with 9 kids and 8 adults. It was a wonderful day and they enjoyed every minute of it.
