V is for Veggie

Katelyn had her first veggie at lunch. Can you tell which veggie it was by the pic?

Here is a hint: she must love carbs!

She liked them so much she cried when she realized there weren't any left.

Jump around

Too funny!

Snow day

Haven't been this excited about a snow day since middle school! A day home with katelyn is a huge blessing. I'll try to download the baptism pics later today. All went great... Such a special day! We are a blessed family!

God Bless Kate!

Tomorrow is a very exciting day. Katelyn is getting baptized. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it. We decided to keep it to immediate family, but we will do a blog post with pics and all the details.

Think of katelyn tomorrow morning at 9am. She'll be baptized at our new church, Dunwoody Methodist. Her cousins Max and Alex will be baptized with her too!

Can't wait!

Happy jumping

Here's a video of katelyn going crazy in the jumperoo. She looks like she is dancing, maybe in Irish riverdance style. She cracks us up when she's in this thing!!

She had apples in her rice cereal about a hour before this. Scott and I wonder if she is on an apple sugar high. Anyone else see this in your kids?

Jump, Jump, Jump

Our friends Ray and Kristi handed down a jumperoo that their kids had outgrown. It took her a few days to grow into it, where her feet touched the ground. Once she was tall enough...game on! Katelyn's favorite thing to do now is play in the jumperoo. She normally smiles ear to ear and has a look of "oh my goodness, this is FUN!" on her face. We even have heard what sound like giggles. She hasn't exactly laughed out loud yet, but has some loud gasps of air that sound like a mini-giggle. There are a few toys that get an instant grin and what could be a giggle. The jumperoo is tops of that list. Daddy grabbed a video last night. She actually seems to be concentrating very hard in this one, normally she is much more animated. I'll try to grab a better video, but in the meantime here is our big girl in action at 4.5 months.

I love to eat, eat, eat...

Apples and Banannas! All you moms know this song. It has been the one kid's song I knew by heart long before Kate came along. In high school I worked in a child care at a gym and the Barney version of "apples and banannas" has been in my head ever since.

About 2 weeks ago at katelyn's 4 month appointment we got the okay to start rice cereal. She did okay with it, but the look on her face told me she thought it was gross. A few friends suggested mixing in some fruit to help with the taste. WHAT A GREAT IDEA! We started Monday night, and now we have a very good eater on our hands. She opens her mouth for the next bite and doesn't make much of a mess. I'll have to post a video of her eating.

She's staying at my parents full time now. They said they'll video her next apples and cereal meal. We do one in the am with mommy and daddy, then grammy and gramps give her a second bowl at their house in the late afternoon.

Next week, we'll introduce banannas to the mix. Soon after that, the veggies will start :) Big Girl!
