Katelyn is 5 (and a half) months!

Katelyn is growing up so fast! I realized I haven't written a 5 month blog post and she'll be 6 months in a couple weeks. She is changing every day and is seems like every day is more fun than the day before with her.

She has recently started sitting unsupported for long periods of time and enjoys sitting and playing with her toys. We rarely leave her side so we are ready to catch her, but she's really stable enough that it isn't necessary.



She also LOVES jumping in one of her jumpers and playing in the Exersaucer.

She smiles all the time, has started laughing more and squeals really loud when she isn't getting her way.

We've tried to start solid foods and give her something once a day most days, but she isn't interested and we aren't pushing it! We did buy a "food feeder" where she can suck the food out herself and she likes that better than us feeding her with a spoon.


We expect her to start crawling before too long. She's mastered the "5 legged stool" where she is on her hands, knees and head. Occasionally she'll pick her head up and rock a little, but we haven't seen any movement yet.



Justin says she loves electronics, and she does seem to gravitate to the iPad and iPhone. She has taught Justin several things about the iPad. He called me one day excited because he didn't know you can swipe between apps and she showed him that!


Here are a couple pictures in her "monthly picture" rocking chair. They are showing off her huge, open mouth smile.


We love her so much and enjoy watching her grow every day!!
