Katie in the Spotlight

Katie girl, it's your turn for a moment in the spotlight. Here are some of the latest photos of you, our little "Katie-bug".

You are a great nighttime sleeper. Starting at about 10 weeks, you began consistently sleeping for twelve hours every night. So peaceful. Thank you!


You always wake up with a huge smile and with your legs kicking like crazy.


You are a little inchbug... no matter that we put you down to sleep tightly swaddled at one end of your crib in a sleep positioner, you almost always wake up the next morning still tightly swaddled but down at the completely opposite end of the crib. Your Daddy calls you an inchbug, quietly inching around your crib in your swaddle.

You LOVE bathtime. It is undoubtedly your favorite part of every day.

But sometimes a very serious face comes over you and you kick your legs as furiously as possible, as if you are in the final push toward an imaginary finish-line.

Your Daddy used to think his world might just stop if he lived in a household of all girls, but now I think he is living it up. He adores you and your sister. If he didn't have all girls, he wouldn't be able to say affectionately "my girls" like he does so often.

You like your Bumbo seat, but I usually find a pool of spit-up around the base of your seat. You can spit up with the best of them. You have the attention-hungry cough down... fake coughing to get our attention. Abby never did that, but then again, she was never competing for attention with a big sister.

You love Bunny. I laugh at how soon you became attached to a "lovie." On the other hand, you are not nearly as fond of your paci as your big sister has always been. You like it to help you go to sleep, but spit it out at any other time of the day.

You are a happy girl with a great big grin that lights up our days.

You find life full of wonder and surprise.

And you ponder it all over in your cute little head.

One of these days, I just know that when your words begin to come, you will have all the answers for us all.
