Swim Lessons

For the past 5 weeks Katie has been taking swim lessons at JMU's gym. It was an introductory class for 6-month to 3-year-old children to get familiar with the water. She wasn't too sure at first but eventually really enjoyed it. She loved learning to kick, blow bubbles and even jump! Her teacher's name was Erin and Katie talked about her all throughout the week. We took turns taking her and had fun watching her learn and grow more comfortable with each passing week. We hope this is the first of many fun classes she'll be able to take!

Katie Updates

Has it really been a whole month since I posted last?! The holidays seem especially busy this year with two little ones. Here are some updates on our big 2 year old from the last few weeks. Thanks for sticking with us!

Katie is now sleeping in her big girl bed!

Her hair was starting to get out of control so I gave her her first haircut. Isn't she a cutie?!

She loves to help out in any way she can, especially when it comes to baking (and eating!) cookies!
It's been fun to decorate our new house and put Katie in some adorable Christmasy clothes :)

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 :)
