Time flies, and we can't believe Kathryn is already 9 months old!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
She now has two teeth, both on the bottom (February 10th and March
|
||
|
|
27th). We aren't sure if it's the teeth or not, but Kathryn is
|
||
|
|
definitely a drooler. She wears bibs most of the time now or else we
|
||
|
|
need to do an outfit change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Probably the biggest change is just how \*big\* Kathryn has grown. Today
|
||
|
|
at her check-up we learned she is 19lbs and 29 inches long. Thus she's
|
||
|
|
in the 50% for weight and 75% for height.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are well on our way with solid foods. I think Kathryn has had almost
|
||
|
|
every type of size 2 food Gerber makes. She has also recently mastered
|
||
|
|
picking up small pieces of food (like Cheerios) and feeding herself.
|
||
|
|
She's been a pro-bottle holder for several weeks now, which has been
|
||
|
|
really helpful!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kathryn still doesn't crawl, but we keep thinking it could be any day!
|
||
|
|
She can get from a sitting position down on her tummy, and even pushes
|
||
|
|
up on her hands, but alas, she only makes backwards progress - which she
|
||
|
|
isn't too happy about! While she hasn't mastered crawling, she has been
|
||
|
|
swimming! She completed her first Baby & Me swim class and by the end
|
||
|
|
was really loving splashing, riding the kickboard, and floating in her
|
||
|
|
own life vest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always a social one Kathryn loves going to playgroup and seems to enjoy
|
||
|
|
daycare. However, since many of her friends are crawling she has learned
|
||
|
|
that they can quickly take her toys away. So she's developed an
|
||
|
|
interesting skill to keep her toys - she hides them behind her back!
|
||
|
|
It's pretty cute. When she's not hiding the toys she's banging them
|
||
|
|
together. She especially likes measuring cups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kathryn's a pretty vocal kid. She does lots of talking, especially when
|
||
|
|
she's tired. She also just yells sometimes for fun - which is \*not\*
|
||
|
|
fun for Mom and Dad. When she's excited she will flap her arms up and
|
||
|
|
down and if she's really excited she gets her legs kicking as well!
|
||
|
|
She's got a great laugh. Check out [this
|
||
|
|
video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZE4t-31X1M) of her laughing.

The weather in Oregon has been really nice the past few weeks. Spring is
|
||
|
|
here and the flowers are blooming! With the nice weather we've been
|
||
|
|
heading to the park most days after work. Kathryn enjoys looking at the
|
||
|
|
ducks and loves going on the swing!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are looking forward to our upcoming Mexico trip! Kathryn has already
|
||
|
|
requested a sombrero.
