Time flies when you're having fun! Baby Kate will be 3 months old tomorrow and here's a little update.
She's such a treat. She's on a great little routine right now - eats about every 2 1/2 hours during the day and sleeps for 12 hours at night, with one feeding. So she isn't the only one who is happy around here - I'm quite content getting my sleep! I'm not quite sure what her stats are - she was 10lbs, 5oz at her 2 month check up. So she's probably about 12.5 lbs about now and still really long. She doesn't have much meat on her bones, but she keeps outgrowing her clothes in the arms and legs. She definitely has my chin and lips, but has Craig's beautiful coloring and has kept her brown hair (at this point, Cole's hair was growing in blond). Her eyes are a dark blue right now...color still to be determined I guess.
In the last few weeks, she has really started to enjoy laying on the floor, on her activity mat. She likes to tug on the toys and sometimes ends up moving herself off the mat onto the floor. She is smiling, laughing, cooing and honestly squeeling with delight. There are some very special smiles that Daddy can seem to get out of her. Cole is such a GREAT big brother. She is the first thing he asks about after he wakes up (well, I guess warm milky is the first thing). He tells her "it's okay Kate", when she cries and asks her all the time to watch him hit golf balls. "Did you see that one Kate?"
We are really enjoying life as a family of four. I have found a way to get around with both of them - thanks to Cole being a good listener and helping out. Still no luck getting him out of diapers, but the bathroom is now his - decked out with a Lightning McQueen potty seat, step stool, etc. I have bought every underwear out there - Buzz Lightyear, Lightning McQueen, Thomas, you name it. This week he has started showing interest...stay tuned! He is stubborn (like his mom) and does things on his own time...doesn't like to be told what to do. Neither do I Cole! Here are some pics from the last few weeks.
Here I am with my friend Sydney. No pressure, but we're sure to be best buds.
Here is Kate on her activity mat.
In her crib...sucking on her middle fingers like I did when I was this age. Funny.
And here's the big boy in the house! Wow, is he heavy these days - getting tall and lean. This was taken at the Museum of Flight.
My new golf ball.
Playing soccer with Dad at the park.
