Kaitlyn turned 5 months old in November.
She had begun eating purees in mid-October. Mom started off making her own purees, but she seemed to like the prepackaged stuff better...hmmm.
She became stronger in her torso; she could stay up in one place for a few seconds if we placed her there.
Even though she was so small, we were able to get her in an Exersaucer if we wrapped a towel around her waist to keep her steady. She liked to play in it fora few minutes at a time.
In mid-November, Mommy and Grandma went to a Christmas Craft Show at the high school nearby. Here Kaitlyn had her first encounter with Santa Claus.
However, after a minute she got upset that she was no longer in Grandma's arms. Poor Santa took it in stride; she didn't get coal in her stocking this year!
At this point Kaitlyn was beginning her transition to the crib. Up until this time, she was sleeping in a bassinet in Mom and Dad's room. Here she is sleeping in the bassinet.
The plan was to move her bassinet into her room; then after she was comfortable no longer sleeping in our room, getting her into the crib. It took quite a while but we made it there after a month or so.
One of Mommy's friends made several T-shirts using puffy paint to decorate them. Here Kaitlyn is modeling one:
We didn't get many photos at Thanksgiving, but we did get a picture of Daddy and Kaitlyn, showing off her Thanksgiving bib.
And of course, Kaitlyn always loves a good time with Uncle Mark!
Kaitlyn came along to a friend's house for a party, and spent some time lounging in the bean bag chair....ah, comfy!
