delayed shifting when cold

About a week ago I noticed that my 04 CTT didn't want to shift out of second right after leaving my driveway. It stayed in gear and after I got down the street a ways (at 3500 rpm) it shifted and never missed a gear after that. It has been several days but I noticed it again this morning. The best I can describe it is that it feels like it wants to shift (mild slip) but either doesn't or can't. It then locks back into second and then when it tried to shift again, I let off the gas and it went into 3rd gear. With everything after that shifting fine. This is all with pretty mild throttle, I'm nowhere close to even half throttle.

I have almost 91k miles on it and as far as I know it has the original fluid and filter in it. So I'm thinking the first step is to change the fluid and filter. It doesn't exhibit the valve body issue of the higher gears shifting hard, so I'm not sure that the valve body is necessarily the problem. Anyone else have experiences like this? Thoughts?

If this is the sensor that is reading the temp on the dash, it seems to be OK. When the weather is cold it does the standard thing of starting off in first gear and running the gears a bit longer. This feels different. I didn't see any codes in the Durametric - is there some other way to test it?
