dtmSo since I haven't been posting, I certainly haven't been posting about Katherine. She's now well past 2 (her birthday being Jan. 3rd), and is currently finishing out another growth spurt. At her 2-yr-old checkup, she was at the 50th percentile in weight and height for a child 3 years old. (So she's big, albeit not quite as big as her second cousin, who's six weeks older)
This becomes more apparent when we take her to day care at the local YMCA (which she started in January), where she towers over most of the kids, although one or two are close to her size. (The Y separates children by age cohort, so she's in with the 18-30 month group) Katherine mostly seems to like day care in the sense that she's often not ready to leave when Jennifer goes and picks her up, but when dropping her off she often hangs back and just looks kind of spacey and uncertain at the other kids. There's also apparently been some trouble lately with another one of the kids biting.
On Monday when I was in the office, my boss looked over at my desk and grumbled that I didn't have any recent pictures of Katherine there (I think she's 3 or 4 months old in the most recent one there). So because of that, and to record the bite mark we found on her tricep last night, I got out my camera and took a few pictures. A selection of them is behind the cut.
Update: As should be obvious from some of the pictures, Katherine has made the transition out of her crib.
Apologies to those behind dialup connections; I didn't make separate thumbnail image files, but just scaled down the images here.
First, this one I found sitting on my camera from January:
Then there are these two I took last night while she was "reading" her bedtime story last night:
And after she was done:
And then a few this morning:
