Changing diapers, changing our home, changing our lives!

Wow! Just when I thought I would have a chance to post blogs during Katie's nap times and bedtimes....not so much! Hahaha! I now find myself busy following her around the house as she is an avid crawler, exploring the world from her point of view, and discovering everything around her. A lot has changed in the last few months. We've had to baby proof our home, Katie is finally doing much better sleeping through the night (YAY!), and she now has 4 teeth...4!!!! Two front teeth on the bottom and two front teeth on the top (still making their way down). She absolutely adores our dog Riley and he is very patient, kind, gentle, and understanding of the love and attention she wants to give (grabbing his ears and tail, "gently" pulling handfuls of hair off him, climbing over him to reach a toy, laughing hysterically when she lays on him and he sneezes. Katie LOVES to laugh and smile. Almost everyone we meet, she shares her smile with, and it's a pretty contagious smile too! She loves to "wash" windows with her lips and tongue, loves having play dates with friends, and going to story time at the library. She went to drinking from only bottles in early November and loves to eat sweet potatoes, bananas with apples, mac n cheese, and pears...all baby food style. We've recently introduced puffs to her and she favors the banana and sweet potato flavors. When we think of it, her Daddy and I are practicing having her walk while we hold her up and she holds onto our hands. We may be needing a chiropractic visit (ahem...and massage!) or two pretty soon! :)
