Who Knew

Katherine has had a busy month. She is growing super fast! It's funny because when she was born I thought she was perfect, then at 3 months I decided she would never be cuter, then when she was sitting I decided this was the best age because she could entertain herself and looked so cute sitting by herself. When she started babbling all the time I knew there was no way she could get any sweeter. Well now at 7 months she is CRAWLING and talking even more and it's official this is the best age! I love that as Kate grows she becomes more and more amazing! I know Jason likes this stage a lot better. When she was a newborn he thought she was way too helpless and decided it was very hard to keep a newborn from getting hurt. He's less worried now but still has random heart attacks on occasions, like when Kate holds her breath during a bath (which she likes to do) or when she makes a funny face while eating (which she also likes to do).

We have a video monitor and anyone who knows me has heard me talk about how incredible it is. Everyone should have one (thank you Uncle Howard and Aunt Pam). When Katherine was a teeny tiny baby we would turn on the monitor and she would be staring right back at us even though it was pitch black in her room. It freaked us out until we realized there was a green light at the end of the camera. Since then she has continued to stare at us through the camera. Well now that she can pull herself up she has made it her goal to get that camera. It takes her awhile to fall asleep because she will spend a good 30 minutes trying to get the camera. On her really determined days she'll spend this much time before she falls asleep and then again when she wakes. It's a little sad that we're going to move the camera and all her hard work will soon be for nothing!

Nice comfy bed or a jail cell?

If you look at the top left side of the crib you can see the infamous camera

She loves sleeping naked, probably because it's so hot! Not sure if you can tell but she has a bandaid on each leg from getting 2 shots that day :(

At her 6 months check-up the Dr. told me to give Katherine water. I went out, bought a sippy cup, filled it with water, and gave it to her. It took her a few days but then she got the hang of it and could drink it by herself. She looks like such a big girl!

Again she's naked. I should probably put some clothes on her :)
