Gymnastics

For the past 5 weeks, Katelyn has been involved with the local Rec Department gymnastics program.  This was for 3 & 4 yr olds.  I thought Katelyn would like it since she was doing sommersaults at home already.  Twice a week from 4-4:40pm we ventured over to the middle school multipurpose room for some much needed get-out-of-the-house activity.  It took her a few lessons to really get comfortable with the way things worked.  She wouldn't do tumbling exercises when she was called on, she had to have some help from one of the helpers.  By the 3rd lesson, she was lining up for her turn and did what was asked when her name was called.  

Walking on the big beam

Warming up with some stretches

First attempt at a sommersault on the beam.

Uneven bar work.

Getting comfortable on the low beams.  This is where they worked on some footwork.  

They also did some tumbling on the floor mats.  Sommersaults, monkey walk, log rolls, and bunny hops.  She did great when she got comfortable.  She would run up to me after she was done at her station and give me a high five.  I was one proud mama.

10 Months Old

10 months old already!  What a sweetie pie! I think we'll keep her.  Katelyn would hate it if we sent back her "friend".

I love the crinkle up nose smile!  And yes, we are only sporting one tooth on the top and two on the bottom. The second top one is just sitting there below the gum line but refuses to cut through.  Oh well, we'll sport the red neck teeth just for a little while.

9 Months Old

I had bought a nice Christmas dress for Katelyn to wear at Christmas, but she didn't wear it.  I was lent a pretty red dress for Megan to wear, but again we just never wore them.  So, before they outgrew them, I needed to take some pictures.  

This is our monthly birthday shot to see her change.  The horse is sure getting small quickly.

This was the best I could get of both of them smiling.  Katelyn was not being very cooperative
