5 1/2 Months Old!

I can't believe that Katelyn is now 5 1/2 months old! In two weeks it will be 6 months. Our friends, Austin and Garret, who we met at our birthing classes, had a boy 2 weeks before we did. Chase and his mom came over on Tuesday to spend some time with us and it ended up being the rest of the day. Both Daddies went to Bible Study Fellowship for men, in Cody that night. So I invited Austin to stay for Fajitas and "The Proposal".
The kids just hanging out on the floor on their boppies. Katelyn liked Chase's red star. Made for some prime chewing/sucking time. Chase was a bit fussy which made Austin think that maybe he was teething. She would find out at his 6 month appointment. Then we marvelled that it had been 6 months since both of us were in the hospital. Time sure has flown. I would have to say that the last 2 months have been the most fun with Katelyn. She smiles so much and she scrunches up her nose when she smiles. You just can't help but laugh and smile when she does it. We moved her into her own room in her crib which she does pretty good in. When she wakes up in the morning, she will lay there and talk to herself. But most of the time, she has been waking up between 4-5:30 am and I'll take her to our bed and feed her. We both end up falling asleep but wake up about 9ish! I have to say that staying home with her has it's perks. Since yesterday was such a beautiful fall day, after all the snow we've had, I put her in the stroller and we walked to main street. She just sat there and was so quiet. She did fall asleep on the way home which was good. She was probably so warm, since I bundle her up pretty good. I can't stand to have her cold. With all the snow we've had and the cold temps, she's been bundled up more than once already and doesn't mind it. I stopped by the sewing store and bought some polar fleece to attempt to make some sort of mittens for her and maybe a scarf. We'll see how that turns out.

Jason did not get his elusive elk just yet. He has seen a lot of them in the same spot, but has had a few of them shot out from under them. Someone always gets there first. He was supposed to go camping and hunting with a friend this weekend but that didn't work out. So instead, they are doing day trips. They went in yesterday and didn't get anything. Today they took horses and are headed towards Yellowstone and hopefully find something. Deer is also open so they could shoot either. He wants me to get a cow tag and go shoot a cow elk. We'll see.

The garden has been cleaned out, garage has been sided and painted along with the shed, the leaves have frozen and are falling, so if the snow comes we're almost ready. The sprinklers need to be blown out yet and we'll be set. Just gotta pray for some elk meat.
