Kate 5 Months and Henry 2 1/2ish :)

I still feel like life is still so crazy right now so much going on with trying to get a rental house here (virtually impossible) and trying to sell our house in Mississippi (also seems almost impossible...but we almost have a contract!).  We will be moving all of our stuff over (yay!  I will finally have my kitchen stuff and clothes and rocking chair--can't wait to rock Kate!!!) this coming week so everything kinda needs to be decided and changed over (utilities etc) by the end of next week.  I will just warn y'all in advance that this post isn't going to flow and is going to be all over the place because I'm going to try to type it in 5-10 mins.  I love love looking back on Henry's baby updates so I just wanted to blog a little about miss sweet kate at 5 months.  She is still such a happy baby.  I love how easily she smiles :) and now how often she giggles.  I just don't think there is anything better than baby giggles.  It is amazing how fast a baby giggle can make everything better.  Kate is such a good lap baby.  As long as she is sitting in mama's lap, she is content as she can be!  This makes eating out etc so much easier.  She still gets up several times a night but that is fine with me because I know it won't last forever ;).  In fact, she just got up, and I had to nurse her back to sleep.  Poor Kate has her first cold, and she is just pitiful at night.  I think I might tell Shaun to sleep on the couch tonight because I'm anticipating a long night.  Kate has started the extra cute baby talk "babababa" and maybe "dadadda" today...no mamama yet...can't wait for that!  She is now doing push ups when she is on her belly and somehow starting to move herself away from her mat.  No crawling yet though...I bet she will be closer to 7 months.  Kate is getting close to being able to sit independently but not there yet.  Guessing that will be more of a six month milestone.  It is so crazy to that it is almost time to start solids.  Can't believe it!!  I'm going to try to make my own baby food this time so I need to get ready for that and buy a high chair off craigslist for Kate.  Speaking of craigslist...I don't know if I will ever buy anything baby equip new again.  Amazing the deals that you can get on there!

And now for a little Henry update.  Henry is seriously cracking me up.  I love love this age.  He is starting to become more conversational with his language like responding to questions with "okay" or "yeah" or just answering the question.  It is so funny to hear what comes out of his sweet little mouth.  Like the other day, he came up to me and said "Hey Mama, how's it goin?"  Lol.  Where did he get that from?  He is also starting to quote favorite lines from Cars or tv shows like "Rusteez!  wow!  Look at that shine!"  Henry is getting into imaginary play.  Oh how I love love imaginary play so I'm really enjoying this new stage.  I love listening to him play independently as he is staring to give his race cars their own voices.  Henry has had a couple nightmares recently, and I feel so sorry for him but I love that he can tell me now what happened in the nightmare.  The most common issue is that there is "a big robot in there."  He loves robots, but I could see how they could be pretty scary in a nightmare.  Most of the time, Henry is a super sweet big brother to Kate, and they already have such a sweet brother/sister relationship.  They love each other so much, and it is so fun to hear them giggle with each other.  Henry can't stand it for Kate to be asleep so he tries his best to sneak in and wake her up.  This doesn't make mama very happy, but I can't be upset for long as she always gives him a big smile when he wakes her up :).
I so need to upload pics and back up pics, but I just don't have the time right now.  I will do it when we get settled in our new house.
But here is a cell pic of Kate (she is actually 4 months in this pic but it is the most recent one I have on fb to grab :)  Such a princess already :)

And here is an old pic from our birth center tea...when she was just two months old.  Where's Kate?  Who can find her?
