Growth

Our dear Katie has been growing by leaps and bounds these days. Physically, she's definitely getting taller and heavier. She's eating lots of yummy solid food, including pureed versions of what Andrew and I eat for dinner. Mentally, she's really starting to recognize words and do lots of "tricks," as we like to call them. Whenever we say "clap", "wave", "hug", or "How big is Katie?", she does the corresponding motion. She will also point to her teeth when we say teeth and look up at the ceiling when we say fan. I'm sure she understands a lot of other words that we don't even know she knows. For some reason, the one word she has trouble with is "no" :)

Another area of growth has been Katie's hair. It's growing longer by the day and also lightening up a bit. I can't wait until I can pull it back into pigtails!
