Happy First Birthday Katie!
Katie is One year old today. Over a late breakfast, Andy looked at me and asked if I remembered what I was doing a year ago. "Begging to go to the hospital !" I replied. Katie is growing well. She now has 3 3/4 teeth. I say 3/4 because she has 3 readily visible and 3 that are just breaking through the gums. Katie didn't start getting teeth until she was about 10 1/2 months old and now it seems like she is trying to catch up!
Katie is eating some more solid foods now, but still has a sensitive gag reflex. I have given her some of those "melt-in-your-mouth" baby fruit puffs to eat but they still tend to make her gag. She isn't much in to veggies, but does like fruits and oatmeal.
She is walking pretty well now. She hasn't had any major falls with owwies involved so hopefully she won't get scared off of walking. She did manage to take a nose dive into the baby gate and get a bruise in the middle of her forehead though the day before her birthday.
She has been fairly healthy this first year. Mainly just colds here and there and the odd fever lasting 24 hours or so. She had one bout of Impetigo, but licked that with a course of antibiotics. She is a petite little thing. At 9 months she had come up from the 12th percentile in height & weight to the 25%. I am curious to see where she is now.
We are so blessed to have Katie in our lives. She has a great laugh, an inquisitive mind, and lots of energy. She is starting to do more sign language now as well. We weren't as diligent with teaching it to her as we were her sister, but she is coming along. I do so love watching this little girl grow and learn...
I have been lax in my blogging and will now try to catch up. I am starting with this very recent photo and will be filling in the last 9 months as I can...
