Update for Monday, July 18

Last week marked an important developmental milestone for Miss Katie Grace. We took her back to Swedish Hospital for an evaluation of her progress since birth. She's now 5 months old, that's 2 months adjusted age, and she's doing just great! Katie is tracking at around a 1 month old for her motor skills and her thinking processes. We've got a little bit of homework to improve on tracking objects with her eyes, and in one month we'll go back for a re-evaluation. The bad news is that she was a bit fussy, and non-cooperative for this appointment, and the good news is that I'm betting that she'll track just fine next time! In fact, we caught Miss Katie reading the new Harry Potter book this weekend. We snapped this picture after she fell asleep reading (note the cool Harry Potter tattoo on her forehead).

While we were at Swedish, we visited with all of our good friends that we miss so much. We saw Julie and Valerie from 5SW where we spent our bedrest time before Katie was born. We also saw one of our favorite nurses from the Infant Special Care Unit, Carolyn, who was able to weigh Katie for us. Our little baby weighs 11 pounds now! It helps that Katie has friends in the right places!

The weekend was easy-going. Katie had a dinner party for Auntie Liz's parents where she was the good hostess. Then she took a bath on Sunday and relaxed.

See you all soon!
