5 Months Old

Kate's first smile on camera
 
 Kate is 5 months old and 7 weeks old adjusted age

 

Kate is right were she should be according to her adjusted age.  She is now 10 lbs.  She smiles several times a day.  She is getting really strong and holds her head up very well.  She has been my easiest baby yet- thus far....- at least from the time she was released from the hospital. She might be trying to make-up for the nightmare she put us through during her hospital stay.  She is just so easy going and laid back.  I've never had a baby that is so content to sit in a swing or lay on a blanket.  She is happy to sit around, listen, and watch all that is going on around here.  I'm sure she's pretty entertained with the circus act we perform daily at our house.  The only consistent time she demands daily attention(besides her feeding time) is when it's dinner time and we are trying to dish all the Hungries their food.  She doesn't want to miss out on the family meal- she must see the importance of family dinners already-or maybe she just wishes she could eat something besides that nasty formula!  So Kate sits on my lap as I eat and Kennadi usually makes her way over to Josh's lap part way through dinner. It's quite the juggling act!! 
 
Even better is trying to eat with two babies on my lap:)

  1. I haven't popped over in a while and thought I'd drop in tonight. It's so lovely to see Kate healthy and growing. I enjoy your thoughts as well. You have such a nice writing style. It's very inspirational. Tell little Kate her NICU buddy Rosie says "hi!"
