Beautiful Little Girl

 

 

 

I took these before we left for dinner yesterday in the front yard & they turned out so cute. This was Katelyn's first time to sit in the grass & I think she didn't know what to do, she just sat there & didn't move.

Happy Birthday Rebecca!

 

Last night we went to dinner at Sumo again for my sister Rebecca's 18th Birthday. Once again Katelyn did great, she is so sweet & just sits there & watches everything. I think I have had my fix on Japanese for a while, it just doesn't do it for me anymore like it did while I was pregnant. I think we need to give it a while before we go back!

So Many Faces

 

On the Move!

 

I can't sit down anymore! Katie is all over the place & if she sees me in another room she will crawl to me saying mmmmm the whole time which is her version of momma. Every now and them she will finally get momma out but it is only when she is really tired or mad. She is pulling up on everything including me when she gets to me. I think she may start walking early.

Classmates

 

 

We went to our friends April & Kyle's Saturday night for dinner & had to get a picture of all of the kids. These three in the first picture (Emma, Cooper, & Katelyn) are going to be in the same grade when they start school, I can't wait to show them this picture when they are Seniors.

Pulling Up

 

 

Katelyn has started to pull up on everything this week. She has been crawling for about 2 weeks now & has figured out she can pull herself up. She is still trying to get her balance but is getting a lot better at it. Last night she was sitting on the floor & I looked away at the computer for a minute & she had pulled herself up on one of her toys. I think we may have an early walker on our hands.

First Time to Sumo

 

 

 

Brad & I had a family dinner at Sumo Friday. It was Katie's first time to one of our favorite restaurants. I craved Japanese the whole time I was pregnant with her so she finally got to see all that good food I was feeding her. She was so good & very interested in what was cooking. Everyone at our table kept saying she is such a good baby, & so attentive. I was so glad she did good & now I know we can take her there again, hopefully real soon!

It's Over!

 

 

 

The tubes went great this morning! Katelyn was pretty fussy after they brought her back to us but as soon as she ate she was fine. I even handled it better than I thought, I think it was from everyone who has experienced it told us what to expect & it helped me prepare myself., I got a little teary eyed when they took her from me & counted down the minutes until we saw her again. I can already tell she feels so much better, she has been smiling & playing all afternoon. I am so relieved to know she will feel better from now on. Thanks to everyone who was thinking of us this morning!

Spending the Day with Mommy

 

 

 

 

Saturday I made a last minute decision to get out of the house & Katelyn & to Trade Days. It was so HOT, I think I lost a few pounds sweating. Katelyn enjoyed her stroller ride & I got her some really cute handmade outfits. After that we went up the road to Mimi & Papa's to visit. Katelyn loves doga so much & enjoyed watching Murfee run around. I enjoyed spending the day out with my daughter, it was something I have always looked forward to doing.

TIme for Tubes

 

 

Well it is definitely time for tubes. We had our consultation yesterday & her ears are infected again. This makes 5, but I don't think the last one ever really got cleared up. The Dr. has scheduled us for Monday morning. I get this sick feeling in my gut every time I think about them putting Katie to sleep. That is the hardest part for me. I know she will be fine but please keep her in your prayers. These pictures were of her being such a big girl in the chair, she sat there while the Dr. looked in both her ears & didn't even make a sound. I think she just like the attention.

7 months

 

 

 

 

Another month has gone by & our little girl gets bigger & more beautiful each day. She amazes me at everything she does & she has the greatest personality, she is always smiling!! Katie is around 20 lbs. & 29" now & very HEAVY!

Getting ready for Football Season

 

Of course I am the one who put this outfit on Katie & daddy wasn't to happy about when he came home. He told me to take it off of her. I told him she can wear an Alabama outfit if he or someone else buys it but I am only buying Auburn. So I am sure she will have a few outfit changes this season, but I think orange and blue look so good on her!

Loving on Mommy & Daddy

 

 

 

 

My Girl!

My girl


Katelyn stayed at Gramps & GiGi's house Saturday for the first time over night, while we went to the reunion. My sister Rebecca got my dad singing to her on video & I think it may be one of the sweetest things I have ever seen!

Remember to PAUSE the music player at the bottom right of the screen to listen to the video.

Pictures from the last few days...

 

 

 

 

Some of these were taken yesterday at a friend's birthday party at the park. I got most of thess sitting in the car when we were trying to cool off. Katelyn is really starting to pull herself up & is doing great at standing while holding on to something. She has been teasing us with the crawling for the last few weeks, she can scoot backwards, but still hasn't figured out how to go forward. I guess I should enjoy it while I still can!

Also, another Dr. update. We went last week due to another ear infection. This will be #4 in 4 months so we are going to see the ENT about tubes on Aug. 14. I know it is a pretty common procedure these days but it still scares me having anything done to my baby! I will let everyone know when the schedule the tubes after our consultation next week. Oh, & Katelyn weighs a whopping 20 lbs. too, she is a healthy little girl.

10 Year Reunion

 

 

Saturday night was my 10-year reunion & I had such a great time. It was so good to see everyone & catch up on the last 10 years. Hopefully I won't be as bad keeping in touch with some of them for the next 10.
