I've had some people email and ask where the updates are so I thought I would post some new photos for you all to see. Kate is doing really well. She has started having some sleep issues and we had just about worked through them when she came down with a nasty head cold. Anytime we laid her down she would start crying because she couldn't breathe very well. John and I think we are learning that she is a very calm and content baby BUT might just be a tad bit hot-tempered as well. Because boy, does she get mad, mad, mad when things aren't just as they should be. Meaning when she lays down she expects to be able to breathe (reasonable expectation, really) and when that doesn't happen just right she lets everyone know her displeasure. With the cold, we have kind of gone back to square one with the sleeping stuff. She loves to be rocked to sleep but has a hard time transitioning to the crib after she's been rocked. She can be DEAD asleep and when you stand up to put her in the crib she wakes up and lets it out! So we continue to rock! :) We constantly remind ourselves that she has only been with us for one month so although everything feels back to normal for us she still is transitioning to us!
Kate is doing better with the eating thing so that is wonderful. She is eating baby food and oatmeal with gusto and we've begun introducing a few more "solid" things like carrots, bananas and the all important food group - cinnamon rolls! She still won't pick up anything to eat so we feed her everything but we are making progress. For that we are very thankful!!
Leah and Lauren continue to do great with her. For the most part, they just go about their own business which almost always includes dressing up like princesses. Here are a few new pictures.
