Can't Resist That Smile....Merry Christmas!!!

So we tried to go see Santa today at the mall, but the line was way too long. Now we know not to wait until the Friday before Christmas to see Santa!! So we came home and had a little photo shoot of our own!!

Merry Christmas!!

Just a few new pics!

Just a few new pictures for you!

Disclaimer: For those of you that read our blog and don't have kids yet, I am sorry that almost all of my posts are about Katelyn! She is the center of our world now and it's just so hard not to share her every move with you. Believe me...I didn't understand it until I had her either! :o) Enjoy!

Our Tree

Katelyn LOVES looking at herself in the mirror!

I finally put batteries in her baby einstein jumper and she likes it so much more now! She loves music and lights, that is for sure!


She is a true Texan (at heart)...Pink Aggie blanket and Pink Camo! She's my kind of girl :o)

She fell asleep in my arms the other day....

She must have been dreaming of fairytales and sugarplums....

Love this happy baby!

Cable Guy Boredom

So I have been sitting here with the cable guy at our house for about 4 hours so far today. They were here for 4 hours yesterday and two other times before that. Still no HD yet! Anyone out there have an HD Tivo that had problems getting the cable card to work? Or is it just Charter? They have given us great customer service though, very pleased with that...but we can't wait for them to figure it out so we can enjoy our new TV in HD (finally)!

In the meantime, I am entertaining myself online...hence the blog update. I even took a cute video of Katelyn to upload, but it must be too big because it's not uploading. She has begun razzing (spitting and making a cute razzing sound)...I was making it at her and she just starting copying me! I'll try again later, it's definitely worth seeing!

Katelyn has really enjoyed the Christmas lights on the tree! Here I am trying to get creative by getting her reflection in the ornament. Look closely :o)

I've let her play under the tree a few times, but you have to watch her closely. Now that she can grab onto things, she seems to go for the strands of lights and she sure has a tight grip!

Checking it all out! She is getting stronger everyday!



She really loves the mirror in her crib too. She will wake up and see herself and just start squealing! Too cute!

We have been very close to rolling from back to tummy for the past few weeks. She has rolled over twice off of my lap, but never on solid ground. Here I had her propped up looking at the Christmas Tree and she was getting bored I guess and spinning around to look at the stockings over the fire place! I'm sure she'll be rolling over soon. I'm just dreading the day we have to wean her from the swaddle.

Reaching out to touch that adorable baby in the mirror!

Four Months

Today Katelyn is 4 months old! It doesn't seem like it was only 4 months ago that our sweet baby girl was born. It feels like she has been with us forever. I can't imagine life without her, that is for sure! Yet at the same time, I can't believe it has been four months! She is learning new things everyday and we are learning more about her everyday! We are so happy and know that we are blessed to have such a sweet baby. This time of year is just so much more special with a baby. We look forward to starting our own family traditions to continue over the years!

We went to the doctor on Tuesday for her four month well check and she also got her shots done. She did great! Luckily no fever...just a little crying! She weighed 14 lbs. 9 oz., which is in the 75% for her age. She was 25.5" long which is in the 92nd percentile! Who would have thought she was going to be tall :o)

Here are a few (or a lot) of pictures we took today! Enjoy!

The monthly pic with Dotty!

Playing in the bumbo with The Cat in the Hat!

All bundled up to go run errands today!

Chillin' with her Daddy!

Getting used to the Jenny Jump Up! She really loves to chew on anything right now! No sign of teeth...just a chewin'!

So happy!!

Some good 'ole tummy time!

Flying high on my legs...and of course, chewin' on my knee!

Happy 4 month bday baby girl!!
