It's been a whirlwind holiday season! The Lerch family was in Chicago to
|
||
|
|
celebrate Kathryn's first Christmas!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kathryn did great on the flights back and forth. She loved the airport
|
||
|
|
as she is facinated by all the people. She was definetly a head turner
|
||
|
|
hanging out in her Bjorn carrier wearing her little Santa cap. She gave
|
||
|
|
and received lots of smiles. As this was Kathryn's second plane flight
|
||
|
|
she felt she was a pro and wanted to hand over her own boarding pass to
|
||
|
|
the gate agent. Needless to say this was unbelieveably cute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kathryn loved opening her presents, and as expected was generally more
|
||
|
|
facinated by the paper than the gift. She definetly made out like a
|
||
|
|
bandit in the gift department this year! Check her out in her 'First
|
||
|
|
Christmas' hat from Aunt Karyn and Uncle Nick.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developmentally there have been lots of changes! Probably most exciting
|
||
|
|
is that Kathryn has mastered sitting up! She can reach and grab toys
|
||
|
|
around her and is definetly into playing with anything within her grasp.
|
||
|
|
As she also likes faces you are likely to get your nose and lips grabbed
|
||
|
|
when you list expect it. Kathryn has also discovered she can play ball
|
||
|
|
with Mom and Dad, which resulted in lots of giggles! She grabs her feet
|
||
|
|
on the changing table and will sometimes put them in her mouth. Kathryn
|
||
|
|
has also discovered her voice, resulting in lots of loud 'aaaahhhhhh'
|
||
|
|
and squeals.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the most fun, and definetly messy, times we've had have been
|
||
|
|
feeding Kathryn food. After rice cereal, and then peas (not her
|
||
|
|
favorite), we've had all sorts of stuff including oatmeal, peaches,
|
||
|
|
bananas (loves them!), apples, apricots, squash, and sweet potatoes. She
|
||
|
|
always takes the first bit and then scrunches up her face like she
|
||
|
|
doesn't like it, yet always wants more!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On January 8th Kathryn had her 6-month doctor's appointment. She is
|
||
|
|
26.75 inches long, 15 pounds 1 ounce, head circumfrance 17 inches. This
|
||
|
|
puts her roughly in the 25% for weight and 75% for height.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest pictures are Kathryn in the snow in Portland. She even got
|
||
|
|
daycare cancelled for two days, so she got to hang at home with Mom and
|
||
|
|
Dad! Here's all the pictures and videos posted since the last update.
