16 Week Old Cate

Oh my precious Cater Bug:) I can't believe 16 weeks ago today you were born! It makes me sad to think how fast time has flown by but you are sooooo much fun right now!
- You are trying so hard to roll over
- You roll side to side
- You still hate being on your tummy!How will you ever learn how to crawl if you hate tummy time??
- You eat 4oz of milk every 3 to 4 hours
- Sometimes at night you eat at 5, 730 and 930 because then you sleep from 10-630, you eat at 630 and then go back to sleep until 945!! Good girl:)
- You are quite the little smiler and "talker," you let out the most adorable squeals ever! I have a video but I just cant get it to post! Dang it:(
- Your hair is becoming more blond as the days go by
- When you wake up in the morning you always have the biggest smile on your face
- You have become quite the Mommy's girl:) that is OK with me:)
- You love swinging in your swing.. you take a 2 hour morning nap in your swing, in fact I tried to move you to your crib for your morning nap and you were not happy with me
- You love your Christmas taggie blanket. You love hugging it and petting it!!
- Sometimes when I feed you, you pet my arm!
- If you are hungry and I'm not getting the bottle fast enough, you can throw quite the tantrum:) With big huge tears included
- You love playing on your play mat and have learned how to reach for the toys on it, you even know how to hold on to some of them!!
- You are still sleeping in the bassinet in our room. You love your crib just fine but mommy and daddy haven't gotten enough courage to move you ten steps across the hall

You are truly a blessing to us and I do not know what we would do without you. I really do not remember life without you! Thank you God for blessing our life with the most precious gift of all!!

Cate at one week:)





Cate today at 16 weeks







Happy Weekend
Love Love Love

That is great that she is sleeping so well, and that she is so close to rolling over. Don't worry about her hating time, I'm sure she actually makes better use out of that time than Emmy does. Emmy tolerates it SO well, that she barely does any head lifting. Dr Wan prescribed more tummy time before her 6 month appointment. Saw your FB post, we have actually started cereal already, about 3 weeks ago. She's just ho-hum about it. Might try avacado soon and see if she likes that better. Hope you are doing well and enjoying mommyhood.

I don't know you, but found your blog through about 4 other blogs. I've been blog hopping tonight:)

I thought it was interesting I found you because I have a baby girl born on Aug. 19th. And scrolling through some of your old posts and looking at your cute baby girl I noticed that Cate and my Macy Brooks have 2 of the same outfits. We also have the pink and brown stripe dress from Old Navy (she wore it today!) and the brown shirt with flowers on it that goes with the teal pants with brown polka dots! How funny:) We used a pic in that second outfit on our Christmas card!

Your baby is just adorable and i love her name. Cate has been my favorite name since I was about 14 years old! Good luck with your baby girl!

Amazing that she is already four months old! She is growing up so quickly. It is so crazy how fast time goes by. Sounds like you are having such a good time with her.
