Katelyn at 5 Months Old

Katelyn had some great milestones at 5 months! She's been a blast to watch change and grow every day. At 5 months, Katelyn:

• Switched mostly to 6-month clothes and 6-9 month onesies! She's long and lean, and we don't want anything feeling too tight. 
• Loves bath time
• LOVES her jumperoo-- spends so much time kicking and moving her legs, I tend to think she'll be an early walker! Even in the Baby Bjorn she kicks so much.
• Is great at tummy time. In her new class the teacher even commented how content she is doing tummy time.
• Started a new class! We are excited to have her in ECFE with some other babes her age, where she can observe them, learn and grow, play with some new (to us) toys and work on development in a safe space. We love ECFE.
• Rolls over! She rolled over from back to front first, but now rolls front to back as well. She's strong and loves to be moving.
• Went to her first session of backup daycare. She did great -- she wasn't sad, and she loves the hanging mobiles they have - loves grabbing for things, the mirror, and playing with all of the colorful toys she can reach!
• Sleeps through the night at least a couple nights a week, and the other nights she's only up 1 time. Her wake up is usually between 4-6am, then I feed her and put her back down until 7 or 7:30. Clearly she is #winning compared to her sister at this age.
• Is generally a pretty chill, laid-back personality. It's so fun to see how she is just content and doesn't freak out about anything. She will even lay in her carseat (where she still sleeps) and entertain herself, coo, until we come get her even 5 minutes after she wakes.
• Loves her big sister and is able to giggle quite loud when she is entertained by her. She also reaches for her face, loves pulling on her hair, and they are starting to really interact well.
• Loves our puppy Callie. She will follow her with her gaze all around the room and reach for her when she gets close. She is so excited by her!
• Spends lots of time in the Bumbo and does very well sitting up, and seems to really enjoy it.

We are having the best time and it's fun to think she's been with us almost half a year! We love you so much Baby Kate!!
