Well I partially just needed an excuse to post some more cute photos! :) Katy and I went to the Mommy's group again this morning, which always has a scale... so I weigh her just for fun. Today she was 13lbs, 3oz - up 3oz from last week. I looked back over her measurements, and while she gained approx a 1/2lb per week from birth to 2mnths, since then she has slowly but steadily gained at a pace of 3 oz per week. So while she started out right on the 50th percentile for weight, since 3 mnths she has dropped one percentile and now seems to be right on the 25th. Which is actually very common for exclusively breast-fed babies... to slow their weight-gain right around 3 mnths and therefore appear to drop a percentile. Growth charts include data from more formula fed babies than breastfed, and formula fed babies keep a sharper curve, rather than levelling out after 3mos. In any case, while she is only 25th percentile for weight, she is at the 95th for length!! (26" at 4mos) So just like her cousin Jackson, she is long and lean... going to be a challenge finding pants that stay on her. Thank goodness for bulky cloth diapers (isn't that pink one above SO cute?!?), as they help keep up her pants.
On an side note, Katy now just LOVES our cats, Mowgli and Simba. Mowgli especially is pretty tolerant with her reaching out and trying to grab his fur... Katy now gets so excited when she sees them!

Katy is too cute! I love that little chair thing that you have for her. My other friend who's baby is a month older than Katy has one of those as well. What are they called again? And how much are they?
It's called a "Bumbo". They are sold at Babies R Us, and here in the states they are $40. So I would guess maybe $50 in Canada??
