Katie is 7 months!

Katie is officially 7 months! She’s crawling and sitting up! She’s not quite up on her hands and knees, and it more like the wiggles her lower half while she pulls herself across the floor. She’s almost got the hands and knees part, and she just needs to gain a little more stability before she just goes crazy on us! We had to take her to the doctor for her first ear infection. It was very sad, and I hope this is just a one time thing instead of the constant battle that both Paul and I faced throughout our childhoods. She did weigh in at 17-1/2 pounds! She’s long like Lilly is, and we’re already going through clothes because of her length faster than for her width! She laughs and giggles at all of us. She even has the little baby indian down all by herself! It’s very cute! She’s eating really well these days. Katie is very particular about how she takes her veggies. You have to scoop out the veggie on the spoon, and then you tip it with the fruit. If you don’t do that, she gives you the shake and wiggle move along with pretending to gag! You can tell she’s related to Tom! She’s really adjusted well to my new school schedule, and I could not be more thankful to have her with a good friend that loves our kids! I love how Katie tries to get our attention – mostly Lilly’s- by yelling “AH!” at us! Lilly still plays so well with Katie, and you can see just how much Katie loves her with the way she lights up with her great big smile! Lilly also lights up, and she tries to smother her with kisses and hugs. Thankfully Lilly really hasn’t tried to carry Katie anywhere yet, and I’m hoping that it really doesn’t happen ever! More to come next month – maybe Katie will be up on those knees!
