Five whole months with our Katie bug, it doesn't seem possible! She is the happiest, sweetest little thing I've ever met, and our last month together was full of fun with her.
Katie got to visit two different pumpkin patches this month- Possum Patch and Schaeffer Pumpkin Patch. She enjoyed most of it from her stroller, but we did get her out a bit to feel the corn pit and look at the animals. Next year she'll be running around trying to catch up with Brayden and Ashley!
She also enjoyed her first round of trick or treating during Scare on the Square. She is the "Boo" to Brayden and Ashley's "Mike and Sully" (the twins were on a huuuuge Monster's Inc. kick this summer). And while I did buy the twins' costumes, my mom made Katie's costume. I came to her with a photo and an idea and she whipped it up for us. She is just amazing and does so much for us- thank you mom! Look out next week for a dedicated Halloween post.
Katie's three favorite things this month are to smile, giggle, and talk. I know Brayden smiled a lot at this age too, but I feel like Katie smiles even more than he did. You just have to look at her and she will bust out in a smile, and it doesn't take much more to get her to start giggling. And boy does this girl love to talk. It's mostly still screeches/screams with the "ah" sound, but she does it a lot. We are a little worried we won't get her to stop talking once she can say real words.
We moved her up to 6 month clothes this month. She is in size 2 diapers.
She is still taking five 6 ounce bottles and is awake about 2 hours between naps. Overall she has been a rock star sleeper, but the past few nights we've had issues with her not wanting to go to bed. I don't know if it's because we are trying to transition her out of a swaddle or what, but I hope this little phase passes soon!
Katie is enjoying the squish ball, being up in her sit me up seat or jumper, playing with the monkey on her play mat, and being sung to.
She still despises loud noises and being stationary in the car seat.
At home she is weighing 14 pounds 4 ounces and measures just over 24 and a half inches long.
She had been so close to rolling from her back to her belly, and just this last weekend she finally did it! And now that she's done it, she won't stop. You put her on her back and she almost always rolls right to her belly, and then gets mad that she's there. It's like she forgot she is able to roll from her belly back on to her back. She'll get it figured out eventually.
Our easy days with her are about to be over- it won't be long before she's rolling everywhere, then crawling, then walking. We are trying to soak it all up while we can, that's for sure. Three cheers for seeing what's to come!
