Growing Up

So many exciting things have been happening lately: starting solids, using a high chair, sitting up in her stroller, and she's getting so big! It's hard to believe that she's almost six months old!


Rolling. Flipping from belly to back is an ongoing roller coaster. Even though a few weeks ago she regularly rolled from tummy to back with ease, she seems to have given it up for the time being. Consequently, she has regular yells of horror in her crib "stuck" on her belly. Really stuck? Or just a ploy to get us to come in... Is she already playing us at 6 months of age??


Oh how Catie Clover loved having Daddy around over the long weekend!


Lazy mornings in our pjs were a regular occurrence at the Hill-Woods household.


Look at the big girl sitting up in her high chair. I remember when starting solids seemed like an eternity away.

See that little speck in there? That's Catie being a big girl in the 'regular' part of the stroller. No more car seat stroller rides for this little lady!


Proof that she actually was in the stroller. It was a crisp day that day! Coverage was necessary.


Catie is intrigued with her new Jumperoo. She does more leg "kicking" than jumping. But the toys and lights completely mesmerize her right now.


This is one of my very favourite parts of the day. After Catie finishes nursing she just hangs out on my lap and we play and sing together. I could do that all day long.


This is how we start almost every day. We bundle up and take Ellie for a walk. Catie adores being outdoors.

And Catie adores Ellie. Just loves her. I think Ellie gets Catie to laugh more than Andrew and I put together. (Note: we don't normally let Ellie in Catie's crib - this was for a photo-op only!)
