5 Months!

Today is Katie's 5 month birthday! We can't believe our little Baby Katie is already 5 months old....the time has gone so fast! We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend doing major yard clean-up.  Katie had a ball hanging out in the yard with Daisy and Eddie while Mom, Dad, Nana Kat and Poppy Paul all worked in the yard.  Here is a picture that shows the scene for most of the day. Katie hung out on a blanket in the shade while Dad and Poppy Paul were taking down a dead bush in the front yard and Nana Kat helped Mom plant some perennials on the shady side of the yard.

Lola hung out with Katie on the blanket for part of the time. They were best buddies!

Katie proved herself to be an unbelievable baby once again. She hung outside ALL day and was a perfect little angel while the rest of us worked. She even napped right outside under the trees!

We did take a few breaks here and there during which Nana Kat and Poppy Paul were sure to get their snuggle time in!

Katie is also starting to get quite strong. She's been getting up on her knees for a couple of months now, but now she is also starting to push up with her arms alot.

She often has both her arms and legs off the ground. We call this "flying."

Katie has also become best buddies with Daisy and Eddie. They are very tolerant of her and love to be around her.

Katie has given us the best 5 months we could ever imagine and we can't wait to see what she is doing next month. We love you litte Tater Tot!
