Exhausted

 

 

This was Katelyn Christmas night after everyone left. I tried to get her to take a nap that day but she seemed to have gotten her 2nd wind & wanted to play at nap time. Well, when it was finally time to eat dinner Brad was feeding her & she was falling asleep in between each bite. I have never seen her that tired before, we couldn't stop laughing & by the time we got her to the changing table she was gone for the night. I wish she would fall asleep that easy more often!

Christmas Day

 

 

 

 

Everyone came to our house for Christmas lunch & then we opened gifts. Katelyn didn't know what to think about all of the presents she got from all of her grandparents. We have so many toys in this house now & her birthday is in 2 weeks so I will have to find a place for all of those too. Thanks to everyone for all of our gifts we had a great Christmas!

Christmas Morning

 

 

 

 

 

Katelyn had such a great Christmas, Santa brought her so many toys to play with & she was so excited to see them all. I think she was a little overwhelmed because she wanted to play with all of her toys at once. We had so much fun watching her reaction & it is something we will never forget.

The many faces of Katelyn

 

What a mess!

One day last week Katie & I were in the living room, she was over by the couch playing & I looked over to see what she was into because she had gotten quiet & she was sitting on the couch. It took me a second to realize what I was seeing. I put her back on the floor to see if she would do it again & also to see how she got up there & she couldn't. A few minutes later I walked to the kitchen & turned around to see the back of my childs head, once again sitting on the couch. It looked so funny to me to see my little baby sitting there like a big girl watching tv. Well of course I got the video camera out trying to catch it & she wouldn't do it. The next night I was standing in our bathroom & turned to walk out, when I looked up & there she was STANDING on the couch, my heart dropped & then I laughed because the look on her face when she saw me look at her was priceless. You would have thought she had just won the lottery, the biggest "look what I did" smile I had ever seen. Oh, & two days ago she fell off the couch & got a fat lip, I knew it was coming & she hasn't been back up there yet=)

Granny's Christmas Party

 

Sonja, Dad, Jennifer, Katelyn, Brad, Me, & Rebecca

 

 

Yesterday was the family christmas party for my dad's side of the family. It is always such a big turn out & there are so many presents & great food. We took the opportunity to make a family picture, I think this is the first one of all of us.

No, No!

 

That seems to be all I say these days. Katelyn did good around the Christmas tree for the first couple of weeks & now all she wants to do is see how much she can mess with it before she gets in trouble. I have told her no, no so much that now she says it. Oh, well I knew it was going to happen sooner or later!

Picture Tag

The object of the picture tag is to:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder

3) Explain the picture

4) Tag 4 people to do the same

NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)

Here is mine!


I took this picture the day we had Katelyn's 3 month pictures made. We went by my dad's house afterwards & this may be one of my favorites of them.

Annual Christmas Party

We had our annual Christmas party Saturday. This year we were short a few people but still had a great time. We ate some great food & had so much fun playing dirty santa.

Parties

 

 

We went to two birthday parties this weekend. My cousins little girl turned 2 on Saturday & Talan's party was Sunday. Katelyn didn't know what to think about all of the kids running around, I think she wanted to be down there with them. I can't wait until her birthday party next month, I know she is going to love her birthday cake, she got a little practice in this weekend.

Pictures with Santa

 

Well, Katelyn did pretty good for pictures & she did just as I expected her to do. The deer in the headlights look. I knew she wouldn't smile but I still think it turned out just fine & at least she wasn't screaming! I took this picture, I don't have a scanner to put the picture they took but on here but the $18 5 x 7 doesn't look much different than this one.

Happy Birthday Gramps!

 

Today Katelyn and I met my dad "Gramps" at the Galleria. We had lunch & then had pictures made with Santa. I am so glad he was there to help keep her entertained. We really enjoyed spending the day with you & hope you had a great birthday. We love you very much!!

Look out Hanna Montana

 

 

Every store we went to seemed to have cute or funny hats & we ended up trying some on in every store we went to. Katelyn was a good sport for most of them especially the spiked hat, I think it was her favorite. My dad & I got a good laugh!

11 months

Mommy, you're crazy!

 

At least that is what I think this facial expression means, she has been looking at me like this lately. This child has so many different faces but this one cracks me up. So silly!

Soooo Tired

 

I took these pictures over the last week & the first ones were one afternoon around nap time, I was on the couch & she was sitting next to me, before I new it I felt her lay down on my foot. I leaned over to look at her & she was asleep. She seems to be falling asleep in the most awkward positions lately. The bottom pictures are the other night, she was looking at the pictures on the computer, pointing & talking & she she got quiet all of the sudden, she was passed out again. It was so funny in person. I know how she felt because I have been that tired before.

Well we have finally gotten rid of the pacifier too, it has been about a week now & she has not had one at all! It was pretty tough the first few days, she was extremely fussy but we managed to not give in & give it to her. I'm so glad we did it now, I can't imagine trying to get her off any later than we did, especially once she started asking for it.
