Developments

Since Ben was in my belly I knew he was going to be an active child. Pretty much every person that has held him has said, "Just wait until he starts moving! You're going to have your hands full!" Well, he didn't waste any time. He's 5 1/2 months and is already sitting up and crawling! Yes, you read that right, crawling! I'll have to post some videos soon. He can sit by himself for at least 10 minutes and he sort of army crawls around the floor. He is a strong little fellow! He also started solids today. He didn't really care for brown rice cereal but I bet once I start feeding him sweet potatoes he'll be more interested. In other news, Katie (our big 2 year old) went pee-pee on the potty for the first time today! Lots of fun developments happening here at the Witmer house :)

Happy Birthday, Katie!

Today is Katie's 2nd Birthday! My sister, Leanne, drove in from PA last night to surprise her and we've been having a fun day together. We opened up many amazing gifts this morning, including a tea set, plastic food for our picnics, a new doll, clothes, boots, a broom and more. Thank you everyone!

Katie has been and continues to be such a joy and light in our family. She can say many words and can put together two or three of them to get her point across ("Mommy, hold me" is a popular one). She's slowly learning her letters, numbers and colors and loves to read. She also has a great memory. We delight in her and love watching her develop into a sweet, thoughtful little girl. We are grateful to the Lord every single day for giving her to us. Happy Birthday, dear Katie! We love you so very much!

Halloween

This was our first year trick or treating with the kiddies and we had so much fun! We went with our friends the Colemans who have children about the same age as ours and live in our neighborhood. Katie loved going up to the houses, saying trick or treat and, of course, eating the candy! Can't wait for next year when Ben can join in on the fun!
