Happy 5 months!

Miss Kaitlyn turned 5 months a couple days ago! Her favorite thing to do is roll around!! She is a rolly polly:-) We started giving her oatmeal recently and she seems to like it better than the rice cereal. She is getting so big, we can't believe it! Here are some pics from today:-)

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day! I was awakened to a big smile and a poopy diaper from Kaitlyn;-) Mark said he would make me anything I wanted for breakfast (I chose waffles). He made waffles with strawberries and bacon. Mark and Kaitlyn gave me a card with their voices recorded - priceless! They also gave me a photo book with pictures of Kaitlyn and I and a mug with her picture all over it:-) Then we had family over for dinner. It was a lovely day!

4 Month Dr. Appointment

I took Kaitlyn for her 4 month Dr. appointment this past Tuesday. She gained two pounds and grew two inches in two months! She now weighs 13lbs. 7oz. and is 25" long. She's in the 50th percentile for weight and the 70th percentile for length. Our tall, lean girl!;-) It was horrible because Mark was out of town and I had to hold her down for her shots. She looked shocked at first and then she started screaming, her face turned beat red, and she was crying so hard no noise came out. I picked her up shortly after that and she calmed down. Never doing that again (me taking her alone that is)!! We are going to start her on rice cereal soon...I can't wait to see her reaction! She loves watching her hands grab themselves or objects (she's been doing this for a while, but her movements are more and more refined). She loves the pull-up game because she can lift her head all by herself and we're hoping this will help her sit-up soon! We have started putting her in the activity jumper, but she is not too sure about it yet.
