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!

Video Montage!

Scroll down to the bottom of my page and check out the video I made for Katie's first year! I made one for my nephew Mason for his first 3 birthdays, but it has been a little harder to find time to make one for my own baby! Enjoy! I love it-and it was really easy to make on the website onetruewmedia.com!

Tubes in our Ears!

Brave girl at the hospital before surgery!

With Daddy before we left for the hospital


Today Katie had a BMT (bilateral myringotomy)...otherwise known as getting tubes in her ears. She has had about 5 ear infections over the last six months, so we have been on a lot of antibiotics! I have taken care of a ton of other babies that had this done..we do about 2-5 a day in the ambulatory care center at the hospital where I work. It is really a minor procedure...but nothing seems minor when it is MY baby! She did very well though...she cried when they took her back, and was screaming very loudly when they brought her back, but then she calmed down as soon as she got to eat! We are so proud of her-she is so brave! Hopefully we won't have to have any more procedures any time soon!

Happy Birthday!















We had a wonderful 1st birthday Party! We had a lot of family and friends over, and Katie did a great job eating her cake! Sorry the video is so long, but it was so funny to watch her eat the cake. Her actual birthday is on tuesday, but we wanted everyone to be able to come so we had it this weekend! It even snowed, just like the day she was born...isn't that weird? Enjoy!
