FIVE MONTHS OLD!

Almost trying to eat her dress

Five. Months. Old. Wow! I really can't believe our little girl turned 5 months today. When people say it goes fast, it really does!

Well, I took around 30 pictures today to get 3 that she was looking at the camera! Little Katelyn is definitely teething as she wanted to eat her dress or hands in almost all of the pictures!

At 5 months Katelyn is:

• able to roll front to back and back to front
• grabs at her feet and tries to eat them
• developing quite a personality, she is very social and loves to get out and about
• loves going on walks in the Baby Bjorn
• laughing & cooing ALOT! (more like a squeal when she is happy: see video below)
• Loves Peek a Boo, Bailey, Leap Frog, any teething toy, books (especially the ones she can feel different fabrics), loves for her Mommy to sing to her (glad someone does:))
• developing really good eye hand coordination (able to grab at all items on activity mat) & has been raking objects in her hand grasping them and bringing them to her mouth- Yes I am a proud Occupational Therapist Momma!
• smiles really big for Mommy, Daddy, & Mema
• sleeping better lately, but we are still working on this one. It depends on the night, but she usually sleeps 6-8 hours consecutively
• Able to sit supported & play
• On her tummy she now pushes the floor with her hands and flexes her feet & actually starting to enjoy tummy time more
• LOVES to look in the mirror and babble at herself- So funny!
• loves to blow bubbles
• Learning cause & effect: when she pushes Leap Frog's Belly-he sings ABC's-now that she has learned this, she does it OVER & OVER & OVER. Sometimes Ryan and I are ready to throw Leap Frog OUTSIDE!
• Knows her name! When you say Katelyn she turns her head to look at you!
• Loves it when we make silly faces with her and she laughs out loud-We are happy to know someone thinks we are funny!

Needless to say, we feel so BLESSED to have this little girl in our lives and count our BLESSINGS EVERYDAY that she is healthy and growing well. Katelyn Grace we love you to pieces and don't even remember what our life was like without you. It has changed for the better!
