Applesauce, Sammy & the Zoo!

Over Labor Day weekend Kaitlyn, Mommy & Daddy and her 2 grandmothers went to the Indianapolis Zoo! We had such a great day - there are some more pictures that I will post as soon as I get them! Isn't her zoo outfit adorable?!?

Here are some pictures of Kaitlyn and her buddy "Sammy the Dog" - where ever Kaitlyn goes, Sammy goes!

Kaitlyn has started to eat solids now! She started eating some rice cereal in the evenings and really liked it immediately - she had no issues using a spoon! Then yesterday I introduced her to some home made applesauce - she made some funny faces initially, but after a few bites got used to the texture and taste - then I could not get the spoon into her mouth fast enough! She loves it now! I am making all of Kaitlyn's food which is both fun and healthy! On Kaitlyn's fall menu will be the fruits and veggies of the season - apples, pears, squash, pumpkin & yams! At school now, along with breastmilk, she will start eating cereal in the morning and a fruit or veggie for lunch! She is getting to be such a big girl!!

Here are some pictures from Kaitlyn's bath tonight - as you can see she is practicing her sitting up. All day and night she is playing with her toes and trying to sit up!

Below is a video of Ryan and Kaitlyn practicing her sitting up! She will be doing it on her own very shortly - she has no real interest in rolling over, just sitting up! Sammy appears in the video for a kiss! It is too bad the lighting is so dark as it was a precious moment!

School Pictures and Rice Cereal!

Kaitlyn had a big day today - she had her first official school pictures! Of course she was dressed up in a beautiful pink and white checkered dress with orange and pink smocking in the front. She was adorable and actually stayed clean until picture time! She also had a little pink ribbon in her hair - I am so excited to see them!

Little Miss Kaitlyn has been waking a lot more in the night times for feedings these days - at one point she was sleeping 8-10 hours through the night - but now she has been waking every 3 hours or so again. I think she her appetite has increased and she is hungry, so at 4 1/2 months she had her first bowl of rice cereal! I mixed some of the cereal with breast milk and fed it to her on a blue rubber spoon. She absolutely loved it and had no troubles at all eating from the spoon.

Last night was the first official Bears game of the season so of course Daddy was so excited to have Kaitlyn support his team! We don't have an official Bears outfit for her yet, but she wore orange pajama pants and a little top with an orange bear on it. She also has an official Bears teddy bear so she snuggled with that during the game. Unfortunately, the Bears lost :(

I have some pictures of her Bears outfit and her first official meal that I will share - they are on Ryan's cell phone so I have to wait for him to email them to me!

Fun Pictures!!
