- Katelyn's first week at daycare went pretty well and no real tears were shed by anyone. I hate to admit that it gets easier to drop her off, but it does. Katelyn's "teachers" are wonderful and they always seem to have the room under control, which is awesome!!
- Katelyn has been having a 5-6 hour sleeping stretch for the past several nights...Yay Katelyn! Thank you baby!! She has also been nursing a bit longer so I think she is going through a little growth spurt. It's so hard to know how much milk to put in her bottles because I don't really know how much she gets when she nurses. We've been giving her 3 ounces for about a month or so so we increased it to 3.5 ounces yesterday and we'll see how she does. We might need to give the little "thunder thighs" a bit more, we'll see.
- We're slowly getting the hang of the new morning routine (I drop Katelyn off in the mornings and Tim picks her up in the afternoons.) I still haven't made it to work by 8:00 yet, but we are getting closer!
- She has really started making eye contact and smiling a lot in the past week! Tim is so good at making her smile wide-mouthed and grunting while I try endlessly for a little smidgen of a smile. She really loves her Daddy!!
- She has also really discovered her hands lately and she looooooves to suck on them. We've woken up several times to smacking/sucking sounds and discovered that her little hands have escaped from her swaddle and have made it into her mouth!
- She can almost hold her head up completely by herself. She'll hold it up for a minute or two and then get tired, but she's well on her way to bobbleheadlessness. I'm so excited to try out the Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier when she does get complete control of her neck!
- We bought a new car yesterday so Katelyn rode home in style in her new Xterra! She was swimming in all the room in the back seat! We are going to love having an SUV with all of our baby contraptions and now there is room for Katelyn, Tallie AND Tucker in the back seat!!
- She finally outgrew her "newborn" size clothing and is fitting nicely into her 0-3 months wardrobe (thank you friends and family!). It's so much fun playing dress up with the little munchkin!
- Tomorrow she goes in for her first set of baby shots :( She has to get FOUR shots all in one sitting!!! Tim is a trooper and is going to take her because I wussed out and didn't think I could handle seeing her get poked that many times!

Yay! Love the updates and the adorable pictures (like a spread in a fashion magazine). Don't worry about the shots. She won't know what hit her until about halfway through the third or fourth shot. Then Tim will be able to love on her and she'll feel fine. She may even sleep the rest of the day and give you some downtime!
