I KNOW- I can't believe it either! Kaitlyn has been such a joy to have around. As all of you with children know, you can't picture life without them, can you?!
Kaitlyn has given us 5 months of good health! She has not been sick a day since she was born. This is something we don't take for granted. So, we claim 5++ more months of good health!
I also wanted to comment on the fact that I really have NOT been sleep deprived! PTL!! She is just really good about feeding in my bed and then going right back to sleep (in her crib- most times ;) )... so that is a HUGE YEAH!
Kaitlyn is finally getting on a schedule. One of more sleep, more food, and more smiles! Thanks to my friend NM and her suggestion of a book entitled " Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child" by Dr. Marc Weissbluth. I've read a couple of books about schedules and sleep habits, but just didn't feel like any of them 'fit' me very well. This book was different for me, and now different for Kaitlyn! Most days she is sleeping 7pm to 7am (waking for a feeding or two) and taking 2 to 3 naps during the day! She is really loving her 'real' food of peas, beans, potatoes, pears, peaches, apples, bananas, and cereal! She has already discoverd a whole new world!
She has even done really well on shot day. Every other month when we go to the doctor for checkups and shots, she handles them very well, and we don't have hardly any trouble out of her in the evenings!
She is standing up in her saucer seat (thank you Brittany for the borrow) and turns herself around to see what is going on behind her, beside her, in front of her! She is so aware of everything! She especially likes sitting at the front door and looking outside; although Buxton doesn't like that so much- because she has taken one of his favorite spots as well.
One other thing her Daddy will also remember about the marking of her 5 months is thatTHE PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
They won their 4th NLCS game last night against the Dodgers and head off to the world series next Wednesday!!!
PHILLIES ARE NUMBER 1!!!What a J-O-Y! We look forward to more!

I can't believe how big Kaitlyn has gotten! Sammy loved to stand up and play in his exersaucer. Glad she is liking so many foods. Sounds like she is a great eater :-)
Those pics of her are so great. I love the one of her just hamming it up on the couch! I also love the family pic taken of you all at the beach. God has so richly blessed you and will continue to. I too am claiming continued health for Kaitlyn right along with you!
5 months already!! Wow... I can't believe it! She is so cute! It's funny how when you have kids, you automatically can't remember what life was like before having them.. and if you do remember, it always feels so empty. :)
