We take one week off from the blog and all of a sudden there are multiple milestones to discuss! It’s been a big couple of weeks for our 5 month old.

Katie finds Zoom entertaining for precisely 3 minutes before she loses her cool, so, you know, like mother like daughter. At one point I put her on her playmat and attempted to focus on the call, which is when she chose to roll over. Katie does not exactly stand for multi-tasking when it comes to her mother’s attention!

Well, we love her dearly. She is growing up and it’s wild. What’s next?!?
