7th month

Language. Katelyn continues to be chatterbox, she is officially saying dada all day long. She has recently starting yelling dada in a raspy voice. She is going to be a death metal singer when she grows up.

Motor Skills. She is now sitting with no assistance she will still tip over if she leans to far but for the most part has mastered the recovery. She also is rolling around like crazy. When I put her down for her nap I always come back to find her in a new position.

Growing up. Food is now becoming a big part of her diet we have now added the following : peas, split peas, chicken, beef, chayote, yuka, garlic, onion, beans, broth, split peas, pinto beans, cabbage, yogurt, strawberry, and blueberry. She has also started finger food, she has had yogurt bites and puff cereal.

On the down side of growing up Tooth #3 made its debut on 3/30 (lower right lateral incisor) this one was a surprise tooth. She was at her first swim lesson and when she out out of the pool she started crying hysterically we look in her mouth and sure enough the tooth had just cut through. it was quite a shock because we were just showing off her first two before class so we knew there was no 3rd one yet.

Another down side was that she finally got her first cold, I think it was harder on me than her, I hated seeing her congested and not being able to do much about it. I set up her humidifier and suctioned her nose as much as possible, and had her sleep sightly elevated, but aside from that there was nothing else I could do.

Now that she is getting older its easier for me to go out and do stuff with her, she can go longer between feedings and she is much easier to entertain. This month we have started going to story time and swim lessons as mentioned above.

Focus. she is getting much better with hand eye coordination, she now holds her sippy cup or bottle and everything that is within reach is grabbed and brought straight to her mouth.

Sleep. has gone out the window.

The 6th month!

Language. Katelyn is a chatterbox, I'm going to be in trouble when she starts school. :) she babble all day and has even started babbling Mama, papa, dada, and nana. its very exciting.

Motor Skills. She is now sitting with minimal assistance she sits with her arms acting like a tripod, this goes on for about 30 seconds and then she falls over. She has also graduated from the swaddler, this wasn't exactly planned but it was something I was hoping on doing soon. Due to her being breech she has some hip dysplasia so she has to sleep in a harness, making it difficult to swaddle.

Growing up. Food is now becoming a big part of her diet we have now added the following : Carrots, Apples, Papaya, Mango, Plum.
The other huge milestone for katelyn is that she no longer has a toothless smile she cut her first tooth 2/18/10, the bottom left central incisor and she 2nd tooth made its debut on 3/8, the right central incisor

Focus. she is getting much better with hand eye coordination, she now holds her sippy cup or bottle and everything that is within reach is grabbed and brought straight to her mouth.

Babbling

I'm sure its wishful thinking but I think she said Mama at 1:33 on the video!!!

tooth cut gums

And I was there to witness/ assist the process. She had been really fussy for a couple of days, just wanting to bite everything in sight, so today in the afternoon I had run out of Frozen teething rings so I gave her my finger. Well she bit down so hard that the pressure if my finger broke her gums. When I pulled my finger out there was blood on it and she seemed relived. Lets see how she handles the rest. Wish me luck!
