The Kellys: Short and sweet

Well I have been slacking on my previous goal to make sure and blog more often. The past 2 months have been very busy with Kate. Mainly because during Kate's 30 minute naps (yes, only 30 minutes) I am busy doing laundry or any other household chores.....or to be honest--reading :) The Dr. promised me I would be able to regulate naps once the nighttime sleep was on a schedule. Kate just had her 4 month checkup. She is a healthy and very tall girl, which the Dr. has pointed out more than once that she must get the height from dad. She weighed 14.5lbs and was 25.5 inches long! She is in the 95% for her height...Im going to have to learn how to shop for tall people! I have never had to do that before. Most importantly she is healthy and developing extremely well. Amen!!

Here are some things that are going on with Kate.
*She is smiling all the time and laughing occasionally. She had a full blown laugh on June 21 :) It made me and my mom both cry. There is no sound in the world better than her laugh.
*She is sitting up..assisted of course but this is the only way she likes to be. She doesnt want to be held like a baby unless she is eating or ready to sleep.
*She squeals constantly
*She lights up when Ryan gets home from work ...thats one of my favorite parts of the day.
*She loves bathtime, books and rolling around on the floor. She is not really rolling yet but she is getting close! The minute you put her on the floor she starts going to her side.
*Last but not least, she LOVES Mia. She just watches her all the time, I know they will be best buddies. Mia has become very fond of Kate as well. When you ask Mia "Where is Kate?" she will instantly turn and run toward Kate.

My heart just melts when she smiles at me and sometimes the way she looks at me will almost make me cry. She is so much fun right now and really turning into her own little person.

We started rice cereal this week so that has been a new adventure. Kate LOVES it and it gets me excited for her to try other foods...we will start veggies in August.

Well I am going to keep this post short since I have missed a lot of events but here are some pictures that will catch you up on whats been going down....The pictures go from most recent on the top to oldest at the bottom.
