Chompers

If you can believe it, Katherine has second tooth coming in already! She's going to be chomping her way through solid food before we know it.

She has also become a master at rolling from her back to stomach. But she still has some trouble going from her belly to back. So once she gets on her belly, she whines for a while until she rolls herself back or we give her a hand.

It's hard to believe how much she's grown in 5 short months!

5 Months Old!!!

Katherine is growing up so fast! Before we know it, she'll be driving. She is enjoying all of the new tastes of real food. So far, she's tried carrots, peas, sweet potatos, and she's starting green beans.

And she has a tooth! Luckily, she hasn't been too bothered by the tooth coming in. We probably wouldn't have even noticed, except she bit my finger over the weekend. Ouch! It's just breaking through the gums now, but I'm sure will be very noticeable soon.

SO BIG!

Rolley - Poley

It's official! Katherine is rolling from her stomach to her back. She did it three times today! It is still quite an effort on her part, so she's tuckered out. But as the saying goes...practice makes perfect.

Happy Halloween!

Katherine dressed up as a baby vampire for Halloween. She had a cape and some "fangs". The fang pacifier was a little big though, so it became her accessory. Our town has set times for trick-or-treating. It was so warm from 2pm-5pm that we sat on the front step to give out candy. We stayed inside for the 6pm-8pm shift. But some of our neighborhood friends stopped by to say hi. Katherine and the boys had a photo shoot. From left to right are Ryan "the frog" (7 mos.), Katherine, Spencer, and Tyler (4 years). Tyler had been dressed up as Mater from the Cars movie but decided to get comfortable. There was some ear- pulling, kicking, and crying. But the kids seemed to have a good time and enjoyed holding hands and trying to to figure out what their nutso parents were doing.

Fall in the Park

Yesterday's beautiful weather and the fall foliage provided a perfect picture opportunity in the park. The pictures below are of Katherine and her friend Spencer. They weren't too thrilled about tummy time, but we got some decent pictures. They quickly decided that they'd rather lay down and relax.
