Weekly Pictures

Yesterday was Lex's Birthday as you all know and we had a great dinner at home to celebrate. Sandra made Mexican rice, beans, chicken enchiladas and an avocado tomato salsa all by Lex's request! It was excellent!

For desert, I try to make something special for Lex each birthday. This year Sandra & Fred and gone to Abbott Farms (a really good fresh peach orchard here locally) so I made peach cobbler! It actually turned out pretty good! Here is Lex blowing out his candle - what a good sport :o)

Our Happy Family

Grammy & Pappy with Katelyn on her 5 week old birthday!

Katelyn is beginning to smile!!! We think it's on purpose now too and not just gas :o) She is such a cutie!

Here's the family at lunch on Labor Day. We took her to Mojos Burgers here in Simpsonville because we knew we could sit outside in the shade. She was a perfect little angel sleeping through pretty much the whole thing!

Katelyn's 5 week old picture! It's really hard to get her propped up in this chair, put a cute hat on her after her tummy time and getting ready for her nap...so she isn't quite happy in this picture but she is still cute :o)

Today we took her to the doctor for her one month check-up. She is now 9 lbs 14 oz...can you believe it! At 2 weeks she was in the 22nd percentile for weight and now she is in the 65 percentile! She is also now 21.5" long from 20.75" at her 2 week appointment. She did get her 2nd Hep B shot today and didn't like it too much, but only cried until we could get her paci in her mouth! Lex and I also got flu shots today and will plan to get the Swine Flu shot come October! Apparently they are already seeing 2-3 cases of Swine Flu in our Pediatricians office each day, but no worries they keep the newborns away from everyone else!

Overall, we are having a great week with the Poth's here and really enjoy all of their help! I'll try to take more pictures before they leave!
