It's hard to believe that Kathryn is now 10 weeks old (2.5 months)!!! She has grown and developed so much since her arrival in March. We survived the shots last Thursday... yes she cried and no I didn't cry (I had to be the big girl for once in my life!). I was determined to stay strong and it helped knowing I was doing what was best for her! She was a little more tired and fussy for a couple of days, but other than that it went extremely well.
Kathryn now weighs 10lbs. 9oz and is 21.5 inches long. She is sleeping anywhere from 5-7 hours stretches at night now (which I am thrilled about)!!! She has met and even exceeded all her 2 month milestones... smiles responsively; follows objects across mid-line; responds to parent's face and voice; coos and vocalizes reciprocally; lifts head, neck, and upper chest with support of forearms on stomach; has good head control in upright position; puts weight on her legs in an upright position; brings both hands to mouth; and has begun to hold some objects placed in her hands. We are enjoying her so much and feel so blessed to have a healthy little girl! Below is a video of her supporting herself on her stomach.
In the last couple of weeks we made a quick trip home for one night to celebrate Mother's Day with Nana and also had a great visit with Grandmommy and Mama Lacey the weekend before to celebrate Mother's Day with them! Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of both of those events. :( But Nana did capture a couple of shots below! :)
Resting with Papa on Mother's Day Weekend
Resting with Uncle Darren on Mother's Day WeekendFor Mother's Day, Adam, as usual, outdid himself! He got up Mother's Day morning when Kathryn woke up and brought her to me dressed as Minnie Mouse (see picture below)! I received a letter from Kathryn and him explaining that we would take a weekend trip to Walt Disney World the end of October to celebrate both Mother's Day and our 5th Anniversary! I can't wait for the end of October! It should be so much fun!!!
Disney World here we come!!!
