The Park



We took Kate to Gulley Park on Saturday afternoon. She loves being outside. It was warm and breezy and Kate had a blast. We decided we need to start doing some practice hikes for our Colorado vacation.

Mother's Day






Mommy had a great Mother's Day today. It was fun and special and very relaxing - Daddy made sure of that. Here are some pictures from today. I am so privileged to be Kate's mommy.


6 Month Check-Up

Kate had her 6month checkup on Friday, May 6. She weighs 14lbs. and is 24 inches long. She's finally on the growth charts! She had more vaccinations. This time one left a nasty bruise on her leg. She was a bit fussy and her appetite was not great on Saturday, but she is better today.

Kate has gained about 1lb. since April 21st! She was at the doctor then for a stomach bug and she weighed 13lbs., 1oz. That means she's gained a pound in about 2 weeks. We are back to feedings at about 3:30 or 4:00am because she is HUNGRY.

Also, she has a tooth that is just barely breaking through the gums. We can feel it, but we can't see it very well yet.

Time is passing too quickly for me! Just yesterday she was a tiny thing that couldn't even hold up her head and now she's active, sitting up, laughing, babbling/screeching, reaching for toys, chewing. It is truly amazing.
