Here are just some of the new things Katie is doing! She is pretty entertaining....who would have thought eating pizza, going to Walmart and watching your old year old slide was a fun Friday night??? We laugh at the funny things she does all the time. This week she can show you where her nose is, shake her head yes (which is amazing since her favorite word is NO!) and kind of say hello-it sounds more like yelo, but we get the point.

We went to the nutrionist this week since she is still small for her age (she weighed 18 lb, 1 oz on thursday). That is only the 3rd percentile- but part of her problem is that because she is so tall (75th percentile) her height-to-weight ratio is waaaay below the chart. Their advice: feed her whatever she wants and add some of the following items to her diet: sweetened condensed milk, half-and half, ice cream, whipping cream, chocolate syrup, cream cheese, peanut butter, butter, olive oil, etc. We also ordered some tasteless powder to add to her food or drinks that has 60 calories per tablespoon. They told me to add as many calories as we can, so we will see if she gains much over the next month. I wish someone would tell me to eat like that!

She has no fear on the slide or climbing in the chair! And Jenny, you don't need any help with Katie there. She can keep your kitchen drawers re-arranged for you!! She is growing so fast.
