I can hardly believe Katelyn is 7 months old! Her 6th month of life
was filled with lots of TALKING!! She says mama, dada, baba, BLAH BLAH
(our personal favorite), ya ya, and boy does she let it be known when
she has something to say! She makes sure we don't miss a single word!
Another amazing thing that has happened this month is that Katelyn is
going POTTY on the POTTY!!! I decided to give it a try and she now gives
me "a look" when she has to go and there ya have it!
Katelyn is rolling around everywhere, putting EVERYTHING in her mouth.
She is eating fruits now and despite her rough start with them, seems
to be enjoying them more now...so her menu consists of squash, sweet
potatoes, green beans, sweet peas, applesauce, pears, oatmeal &
pears w/cinnamon, bananas, apples&bananas mixed and of course her
cereal (rice and oatmeal). She is down to 3 bottles a day and 2 solid
meals. No other big girl foods will be introduced until she cuts her
first tooth!
Katelyn's developments include: she can get her knees tucked under herself,
but when she moves forward she smashes her face into the ground...so
yes, we are working on that!!! She is almost sitting up unassisted now.
She eats her feet very happily, enjoys a good laugh like we all do,
and hmmm, that's about it!
At her 6 month appt., Katelyn weighed
in at 18 pounds, 2 ounces and was about 27 inches long (the length is
most likely off since she was a wiggle worm for the nurse;)!)
We love our Katelyn! Month 7 here we are...
