Right before Christmas, Katie became six months! It has flown by and I can't believe she is so big already. She weighs 14lbs. 13oz. and is 24.5 inches long. She is so delicious. Katie loves to smile, laugh, eat and talk. She loves to be hung upside-down and tickled. She watches Abby eat and tries to steal her snacks. That has been her motivation to start crawling! As seen in a video below, Katie has been getting on her hands and knees trying to move forward. She can do an army crawl but hasn't quite figured out what to do with her hands when she is on her hands and knees. I'm sure she will get it soon. She is sitting up on her own until she leans too far forward or back. Also, Katie loves to use her voice. See the video below to see her new favorite trick. Abby can do almost anything to Katie and she will be so happy with the attention. Abby put dress up shoes on Katie and she loved it! Then she tried to eat them. The only downside is Katie still needs to be put to sleep. She hasn't found a self soothing method yet so she still needs her binkie and be held to go to sleep. She is still waking up in the early morning sometime between 5-6:30 and then going right back to sleep once I put her binkie back in her mouth. I'm hoping she kicks that habit soon. I can't help but baby her because she seems so small compared to Abby! I just love to kiss her chubby cheeks and feel her little hands around my neck when she's on my hip. Whenever she wakes up or comes back to me after being held by someone else, she grabs my face and gives me kisses. Katie is such a mama's girl! We are so glad she is in our family!
