Rolling Around

Katelyn has rolled over several times over the last month but seems to really have gotten the hang of it this last week. As soon as we lay her down, anywhere, she starts to roll. I can't take my eyes off of her now, especially on the changing table.

Sick Again!

 

 

Poor baby, she has only been in this world a little over 4 months & is sick again. I'm sure it's something she picked up at daycare. I just hope this isn't going to be a monthly thing. We just went back for the "all clear" check up one week ago today from her last ear infection. She now has a cold & another ear infection, but luckily it is only in one ear this time. They also weighed her & she is now up to 16 lbs. 12 oz. exactly 10 lbs. more than the day we broght her home from the hospital, what a chunk! This time around it seems to have hit her fast, I hope she is better in a few days. You can't really tell she feels bad most of the time. She smiles all of the time & I can even get her to giggle a lot more now, she truly is a happy little girl!

One year ago today...

 

This day last year I was out having a great time on the river, but something just didn't feel right. My friend Heather asked if I was pregnant & I said "no way" we had been trying for a few months but, I just knew there was no way. Well Brad & i got back from our boat ride & I decided what the heck, I will take a test just to be sure & I couldn't believe my eyes! I called Brad in for him to verify what I was seeing, a positive sign! I couldn't believe that we were finally going to have our baby! I really can't believe that it has already been a year. I have to say this has been the best year of my life, God has truly blessed us with the most perfect little girl. She is so amazing and beautiful & we can't imagine our lives without her, this maybe my new favorite holiday & is definitely one I will never forget!!

I'm So Proud!

 

 

 

 

My little sister graduated from Hoover High School on Wednesday & I couldn't be more proud! She is so special to me & I want her to know how much I love her. She has been through a lot over the years & this a huge accomplishment in her life. It means so much to me that I got to see her get her diploma. She is also going to attend Jeff State in the fall & I know she has a bright future ahead of her. Rebecca, I love you & congratulations, again!

First Night without Daddy!





Last night Katie & I spent the night at Mimi & Papa's house, we had heard the weather may get bad so we planned on staying there while Brad was gone. He is gone to the beach for a few days with the guys & this is our first time without him since Katie has been here. We already miss him very much & are looking forward to him getting home soon. We really enjoyed being with Mimi & Papa last night & today but are looking forward to sleeping in our on beds.

Mother's Day Weekend





I had the best Mother's Day! we met Scott, Lynn, & John Thomas for dinner Saturday night & spent the whole day on Sunday with Katie & Brad shopping & ending with dinner. I couldn't ask for a better day, just to spend it with them.

4 month Check-up



Katelyn's 4 month check up was today & these pictures are from when we got home, she was in a suprisingly good mood. I can't believe it because today we found out that she has a DOUBLE ear infection. She also had 4 shots, talk about a fun day! I think she did great for all she went through today & I even got her to smile & giggle when we got home. I knew she hasn't felt good the last two days but I thought it was because she was teething & all of the symptoms pointed to that. I think she may have even done better with the shots this time, she only cried for a minute or two & then she was pretty calm. She now weighs 15 lbs. 6 oz. & is 25" long. I hope she gets rid of these ear infections soon, because I can't stand to see her in pain! I just hope she doesn't have to many more of these, I don't want her to end up with tubes!

Another favorite!


I have so many favorite pictures of Katelyn, but this is the most recent. I took this at Botanical Gardens Saturday, I made some changes to it & thought it turned out good. I have no idea where I will put all of these pictures of her, but I'm sure I can come up with something.

Katelyn has also started the process of cutting teeth over the last week. I can see two white spots on the bottom & she has had a higher temp on & off over the last 2 weeks. She has been in an overall good mood but today she started pulling at her ear & has been a little more irritable this evening. We go for her 4 month check up on Tuesday & we have 4 more shots to get & since she is cutting teeth too, I am really not looking forward to this visit, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

A Beautiful Sunday




Today while Brad did yard work, Amanda, Katelyn & I sat out in the front yard & enjoyed the beautiful day. Katelyn really loves to be outside & I'm so glad because Brad & I seem to live outside during the summer. I look forward to so many more days like today with my family.
