Where does the time go....

I just realized we have been home for 5 months today. I can't believe we have only been together for 5 months. It feels like forever.

It has been the best 5 months of my life. Dave and I are completely in love with this little girl. She makes everything happier, more exciting, and funny. I have loved introducing her to new things.

Today it started to snow and we ran to the local store after I picked her up from daycare. When we got out of the car, Katy just looked up at the sky and started to laugh. She held out her hands to feel the snow landing on her hands. It has been a long time since I have seen such excitement and wonder at something so ordinary as a snowstorm.

I have posted some pictures of back 5 months ago, and some new pictures of our Katy now.

Some of her milestones:
-She is walking. Her balance has gotten so good. She loves to walk around and look at everything
-She is saying a few words, such as, Baby, DaDa, Hi, Mama
-She is feeding herself. She can work the spoon and fork very well. Almost all the food makes it to her mouth
-No more bottles. She is a sippy cup girl now
-No more formula. She has not had any for at least a month now. Just water and milk
-We are about a half a pound from turning her car seat around. She weighed in at 19.5 pounds last week.
-She loves her shoes and handbags. She found this little handbag someone gave her and started to put her toys in. She then walked around the house with it. That is a girl after my own heart.
-She is starting to interact with other kids when playing

These are a few of her accomplishments so far.

Dave, Katy and I are gearing up for our first Christmas as a family of three. We will report all of the days events next week.
