The joy of solid food

Well Katelyn has been on solid food for over a month now (we cheated and started her 2 weeks earlier to try to stretch her sleeping). And judging from the faces we get from her, it's not her favorite thing!!
So far the only thing she likes is rice and the fruits. As far as veggies go, she loves sweet potatoes, likes carrots and only tolerates squash. With the peas and green beans, which aren't my favorite either, she makes herself gag until she throws everything up that she's eaten, including the rice and fruits. So then we're back to square one.
She's really not loving it, but I love the faces she made.

Shower time

When Kelsey takes a shower by herself you can hear her singing and carrying on. Just take a look

Bath time

Here's some pictures that will embarrass them in a few years, but too cute not to post.

Katelyn's first bath with her sister.

Always a smile when the camera comes out.

Kelsey the entertainer.

She can sit up by herself and loves her baths.

Two cute girls hanging out in the tub.

Funny story

Well, I can laugh now, but it wasn't very funny at the time. Notice the blanket and where Katelyn is. Your first thought might be that she moved off the blanket, but no, it's much bigger than that. See, I was in desperate need of a shower and asked Kelsey to play with Katelyn for 5 minutes. That was it, just enough time to wash and rinse, really. Well, I happened to glance down while I was washing my hair and imagin the panic set in when I look over to where I left Katelyn and she's not there. I then looked beyond the blanket just in time to see Kelsey "dragging" Katelyn on her stomach across the room over the lazyboy. Upon seeing this, I finished rinsing and got to her rescue. Katelyn only started crying when Kelsey stopped moving her. When I asked her what she was moving Katelyn for, she simply said "She needed to see the TV better, mom." So apparently I'm not even allowed a 5 minute shower anymore.
Katelyn after Kelsey moved her.

Well, Katelyn's going to be a fast mover in no time at all. You can't tell, but she high-centered herself on her pillow scooting to get to Kelsey.

Isn't that a great picture? Daddy with his 2 girls listening so intently to the story

Dr. Kelsey will see you now

So I took Katelyn in for her 4 month check up and everything checked out great. She was 13 pounds 12 ounces and 24 3/4" long. And then Kelsey had to do her own check up.

She was very thorough but didn't feel the need to give her any more shots.
