Stepping Into The Unknown

When you come to the edge of all the light you have and must take a step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things will happen: either there will be something solid for you to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

ADDING A LITTLE VARIETY

Kate is 5 months old and starting solid foods! I got a little carried away the first week and wanted her to try bananas and sweet potatoes...Kate learned to shut her mouth when I approached with a spoon in hand! So the next week I went back to basics and stuck with rice cereal, thickening it just a little bit each day. Today she ate more than she ever has, maybe only a couple of tablespoons but I don't want to push it! I love to watch her get excited when the spoon gets close to her now!


She's also rolling over from her front to her back, both ways. She's starting to grab whatever is in reach, like when I got the mail in one hand and was holding her in my other arm. The mail-holding hand drifted within Kate's grabbing radius, and PRESTO! Soggy bills! :)

JULY




Kate's already 4 months old!










She loves her blue bear and playing around with dad (observe the pair of gray shorts on her head).

JUNE BUG




June flew by! This is Kate at 3 months. She is so fun! She loves to suck on the crib bumper when she's trying to sleep, hence the soggy splotch by her head!


This is a video of Kate after her bath. At 3 months she is still tolerating bath time, but she LOVES when we take her out of the tub and put her in a big towel!
