Taking a mid-morning nap with Katie, obviously she gets all of the good sleep and I stare most of the time.
Katie's first trip to the Farmers Market in York. I think she got all excited because we were in front of the candy counter. (We didn't buy anything....)
Happy Katie over at Heather and Brandon's house. We were over checking on the progress of our new house which is right across the street from their house, by the way the house is framed already!!
Today was a big day in the life of Katie. First, she had her first meal in a resturant when Heather invited us for lunch at Box Hill. She did really well staring at the bugs on her car seat, then sitting in my lap and eventually falling asleep. Then when Nat came home we went for a little walk up to the swing set behind the horse pasture where she and Nat played for about 15 minutes. When we came home she was playing in her Jumperoo and starting to get a bit fussy so I starting making funny noises and flapping my arms around when she let out a nice belly laugh, her first. Up until now she has just let out one long "Ha" but today she giggled, it was AWESOME!! Well that was our Friday, more from us later this weekend when she takes her first trip out of the county to visit her Great-Grandfather in Lancaster....
I think she is teething so basically everything is a chew toy!
Me and my Daddy goin' for a stroll!!
Today at weigh in she was 13 lbs. and 2 oz., getting fatty! I LOVE IT!!
Naked Katie, just cute!
Getting out of the tub, I tried to get a smile but I just couldn't coax one out of her.
Katie and I took advantage of the 80 degree day by heading to our neighborhood swingset and having some fun. Luckily my friend Mandy and her boys Chase and Mark (little guy in this picture) came along to keep us company and take some pictures. She has an issue with wind blowing in her face, she gulps air every gust, so we only stayed out for about 15 minutes. I guess we have to work on that!!
Me and my Grammy!!!
Chillin' with Uncle Tim.
Gettin' my freakout on with Aunt Liz!!
Scout eyeing up Katie's lunch!!
Fun time with Daddy, yes that is "The View" on the TV and I was watching it, not Nat. (Just in case there were questions!!)
My sweet Kate.
Katie had her first taste of big kid food today at 10:30am. She ended up having about 5 spoonfuls of her rice cereal before she had enough and wanted her bottle. I guess she got the taste of formula in her mouth and wondered why it wasn't continually coming, got ticked and decided she was done. She used her special spoon that her Grandpa Sylvanus bought when she was born and some cups that her cousin Allison bought for her. We will try again tomorrow and see if we have any more success, I hear it takes about a week for them to understand solid foods?
Katie's first confusing bite in her big girl high chair.
The end result and yes the bib we tried was way too big, we get that now.
Katie is starting to drool a bit, we are wondering if teeth are on the way or if she's just a frothy kinda gal?!
She couldn't stop looking at the flowers which I thought was hilarious but I guess the funny is in the eye of the beholder because it really isn't all THAT funny.
Me and Daddy reading my favorite book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Watching the Busch race on Saturday, Uncle Doug is so happy that I love NASCAR!!!
Me and Daddy holding hands and watching "The Birds". Daddy was a bit scared so I thought I would calm him down by holding his hand!!
Our big girl is 4 months old today! I can't believe that she has been with us that long already and oddly enough one year ago I wasn't even pregnant. As you can see she is getting some needed fat on her bones and she is really grabbing at books and toys ,Mommy's hair, whatever she can get her hands on to. Well we are knee deep in play time here so I have to run.........
Katie was Baptized this past Sunday, March 4th at the 11 o'clock service at First Presbyterian Church of York with Dr. John Morgan presiding as pastor. She was fantastic, not only didn't she cry but she actually giggled at the celing lights in the church during the 20 minute sermon. Go figure?! She did start gettting a bit agitated during the end of the service so Nat and I took her out of the chuch and walked around the building a bit and to our surprise she fell fast asleep. Unbelievable, I was so scared she was going to be nutty and she was an angel..........I'll post more pictures as I get them, there were about 30 family members with cameras so I'm sure I'll get more soon!
In other Katie news she will be 4 months old on Thursday, can you believe it! She had her 4 month exam last Tuesday (her shot schedule is wacky because of her being a preemie.) She weighed in at 11 lbs. 7.5 oz. and measured in at 23.25 inches. Her head grew 2 inches in circumference, which Nat and I both could tell from holding her all of the time. She is developmentally on schedule too, which is always something that is up in the air for premature babies, but Katie is holding her head, grabbing for things, and babbeling up a storm. GO KATE! Ok well I am still working on cleaning up from yesterdays festivities so while she's in her swing I better hop to it! Have a good week!
