Enjoying the beautiful weather

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a great weekend & Katelyn really enjoyed being outside. The water in her pool was still a little cold so she didn't play in it other that putting her hand in & splashing the water. She is definitely an outside girl, she didn't want to come in when it was time & she would say "side" over & over. Looks like we are going to be spending a lot of time outside this summer.

 

Too Cool!

 

Katelyn loves to wear her sunglasses, I think she knows we get a kick out of seeing her in them. I got her these when we were shopping the other day & I think they look so cute on her.

Little Artist

 

 

Not really, I think she likes to put them in her mouth more than anything. She does scribble & it keeps her occupied for more tham 5 minutes.

Playing with Braelyn

 

We stopped by Dana's house Sat. evening to visit & let the girls play. Katelyn loved playing with all of Braelyn's toys & Braelyn was busy pulling up on everything. Oh, well I know they will play well together soon.

A Great Day!

 

 

 

Friday was so pretty, I decided we had to be outside so we went to eat lunch with daddy & headed to Homewood Park. Katelyn loved playing on the slides & swings & didn't want to leave. After we left the park we headed to Ben & Jerry's for some ice cream. Later that evening we met up with Gramps, Gigi, Rebecca & Jennifer for dinner. We had a great day & my little girl was pooped & was out for the night by 6:30. I am so glad warm weather is on the way & we can spend more time outside.

Happy Easter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was the best Easter I have had in a long time. Katelyn looked so beautiful & I was so happy to see her in the dress I made for her. I decided since I have been sewing a little it was time to make something special & I finished her Easter dress just in time. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family & that we all got to spend time together. Rebecca, we missed you!

The Easter Bunny Came!

 

Dying Eggs

 

 

 

 

This was our first year to dye eggs with Katelyn, she was just too small last year. As you can see she was really interested, she would rather taste the egg! Brad & I ended up doing all the work, Katelyn would reach on the table & try to stick her fingers in the dye. We have a busy day tomorrow we are going to Mimi & Papa's first & then over to my grandmothers to hunt eggs. I am really looking forward to tomorrow & hopefully I will have some good pictures to share. Happy Easter everyone!!

I hope this is a good sign!

 

15 Month Check up

 

We went to the doctor yesterday & Katelyn now weighs 25lb. 5 oz. & is 32" long. She did not like this visit at all. She did not want the nurse or Dr. to touch her & screamed about it. She has been extremely clingy to me lately & sometimes doesn't even want Brad to hold her. I hope this is just a phase & it will get better, I know being home with her all of the time has a lot to do with it. Her Dr. said everything looked good & she is done with her shots until she is 4!!! I also told him that I thought she has been having bad dreams, she wakes up almost every night around 2 a.m. & screams, she has been doing this for about a month now. We have noticed she talks in her sleep a lot & last night she woke up screaming & didn't want me holding her & she was saying "NO, NO". It breaks my heart because there is nothing I can do but hold & comfort her. I hope they end soon!

Waiting on Tate!

 

 

 

 

Monday we went to the hospital & waited for Tate's arrival. It was hard keeping Katelyn entertained but Madelyn enjoyed her being there & I think Katelyn even helped keep her from pacing the halls as much waiting on her baby brother. When he finally made his way into the world I got to go back to the room to take pictures of Madelyn's first looks at her new baby brother. It was PRICELESS! I am so happy to be there to capture those moments of Madelyn. This family means so much to me & I am glad they let me be part of this special time. Tate is such a beautiful little boy & I can't wait to finally hold him, hopefully he will be home with his big sister, mommy & daddy today!
