Katie's Big Week!

Monday:

Katie had her 6 month check up!  She is doing great. She has her 2 front, bottom teeth and is rolling over like crazy.  She is sleeping in her own room now.  I recently gave her a "bear blanket" to sleep with and seems to like it.  She is not agreeing to take a bottle though but we will keep working on it.  She started oatmeal cereal at 5 months but still isn't very "good" at eating.  Her first "real" food was avocados.  The first day was a failure but she liked them more when I added bananas to them.  She is not the easiest to feed because she has to grab the spoon with every bite.  She makes a huge mess!

 

Weight: 16 lbs 6 oz. (60%)

Height: 26.5 in. (75%)

Head: 43 cm. (75%)

"Feeding his baby"

William is still a picky eater!  He refused to eat his pizza but ate the peas!

It finally warmed back up!  William was playing with my phone and taking pictures.

Katie took a quick bath with the boys!

I received my first kit from doTerra.  I'm really interested in using more of the oils.  I open to get an allergy attack on the day that I received the oils and tried Breathe on my chest.  I felt so much better!  I didn't want to use it anymore than the one time since it has peppermint in it.

 

Thursday:

Katie got to sit in the cart at HEB!  She did great and seemed to enjoy it!

Of course, Wade to have his donut!  Katie tried to grab it from him a couple of times of she didn't have any luck.

Wade showing Katie how to play the fishy game.

He is awesome at this game!  He sat there for a good amount of time and caught a bunch of fish.  He kept on saying "I got one. I got one."

William is loving watching the guys work on the deck.

Wade!  So when Wade steals a pen, he takes them apart.  This is the second pen that he has completely taken apart. 

 

Friday:

 

Yesterday, I made another drop off at the Milk Bank.  I decided before Katie was born that I wanted to pump extra so I could donate extra.  With Wade, I only pumped in the morning so I didn't get a whole lot of extra milk.  Now, I pump in the evening and in the morning.  This one extra pump has allowed me to donate so much more this time.  Yesterday, I dropped of 235 ounces.  I believe this bring my total to around 1,100 ounces.  Knowing this number and seeing the Milk Banks newsletters definitely keeps me motivated.  Most evenings I just want to go to bed but knowing that my milk is helping premature babies helps a lot.

Katie slept pretty good so I able to pump a good amount.

We met some friends at Jumpoline.  William also made friends while we were there.  The girls were really cute with the boys too. When we were leaving, one of the girls asked to take a picture with William.  She got her phone and walked up to William and said "Let's take a selfie!"  I had to laugh!
