Cate has finished her two containers of peaches. It has been the only food so far that she has made a sour face at, which surprised me considering she's chewed on peaches in her mesh teether before. As of yesterday, Cate has also finished her two containers of squash. She really liked it. In fact, she ate her cereal and a whole container of the squash last night. She will start bananas today.
Cate has been gigling and laughing alot more. It sounds different than before, more of a deep belly laugh now. It's really funny. She is also rocking more in her high chair, in her activity center or anytime she is sitting. I guess this is a sign she is closer to crawling. We must get cabinet locks, plug stoppers and a gate for the stairs soon!
Cate has discovered her rattles. These were a couple of her very first toys but I was nervous to give them to her early on since she had no control of her hands and arms. I was worried she'd smack herself in the head too much. She now loves them because of the noise they make. She has also discovered more toys and how they work on her activity center. She is hitting things more seeing what kinf od noise it makes and how it feels against her hands. She has started hitting the buttons on her activity center that says she color it is in English, Spanish and French. It's very funny to watch her do this. She hits it repeatedly and very fast so the noise is very funny.
We have all had a slight cold this week due to the small chance in the weather. Cate has developed a cough as a result of the cold. She isn't really stuffy or snotty this time around, just has a cough. She has also had red eyes and more gunk needing to be cleaned out of her eyes. Shes has felt slightly warm a few times, but no major fever. She has had a fever this afternoon and we are trying to get it back down. But she seems to be in good spirits. Only a few outbursts. She has been pretty good during the day, but the nights have not been good for her cough. I guess her laying down for the long period of time has aggrevated her cough. She has been having coughing fits in teh middle of the night for about 30 minutes to an hour. So our sleep has been much interrupted the past several nights. Last night was the worst so far. We got her to bed a little late, then she was up at 11:40 coughing for about 30-45 mintues, then was up again around 2am coughing for about 15-20 minutes, and then woke up at 6am. I tried ot get her to go back to sleep, but she was wide awake. Going from Friday to Saturday is usually hard for her to adjust to when it comes to sleeping in. Cate is used to being woke up at 5:30am to leave for school. So she thinks she needs to wake up early on Saturday too, when she doesn't. Hopefully tonight she will sleep better and sleep in a little tomorrow morning.
After grocery shopping this morning, we decided to take a walk since it felt really nice out this morning. We have been putting her baby sunglasses on her to get her used to them, she does pretty well with them on. I was worried she was grab at them alot and she doesn't. I had been wondering if Cate was big enough to try her stroller without the car seat, so we gave it a try. She did really well in it. We went to see the ducks and feed them bread. We also got to see a few catfish in the pond. Cate fell asleep in her stroller before we got hom to head out and run more errands. She woke up again as soon as we got to grocery store number 2. But later fell back asleep again with her foot propped up in the side of her seat. It was pretty funny!
