Two pics to share...

First, a cheesey grin...she was hammin' it up after she woke up from a nap...

And this morning, very, very early getting ready to leave for mommy's dentist appointment...

WHAT'S UP PEOPLE?

Sorry for the lapse in updates...

I do have pics, but the new camera was reformatted and now my pics aren't compatible with blogger or my photo storage site. :( I'm having Shawn work on that so I can post pics from the baby dedication this past Sunday. It was amazing and beautiful. We love our pastor!! (And so does Katelyn, wait until you see the pics!)

We got shots afterward at the park with all of the family - they are so nice (a little on the shady side, but still nice for an inexperienced photographer type such as myself with my new camera - lol).

Katelyn is now breaking in her first tooth. She doing great! A little fussy, but not too bad considering. It is almost impossible to get a pic...she pushes her tongue out and it covers the tooth on the bottom, but I'll keep trying - ha ha!

She is also now sitting up by herself for quite a bit before she plops over. It's awesome!

And...she is starting to try to crawl. She can get up on her knees and arms, but she doesn't quite know where to go from there. She does the "froggy bounce" but doesn't move forward...unless she plops forward like a belly flop. It's so cute...and she tries so hard! It will come sooner than we expect, I'm sure!

I can't believe she's almost mobile (aside from the rolling all over the place) - - time to invest in some baby-proofing products ASAP!!

I can't wait to share pics!

P.S. She'll be 6 months old over the Thanksgiving holidays! WOW!! I'll post stats from her 6 month appointment on 11/25. She's getting big!!

Pics from the weekend and last week...

We got a new camera this past week and I LOVE IT! It takes amazingly clearly pics and Lord knows I needed help in that area. We tried a few filters and are still learnings the lenses but overall, I think the pics are pretty good (I see a little fuzz on some of these though...so I hope I can figure it all out.)

A comparison...

Three months...

Five months...

Where has all the hair gone? lol!

Some light reading in the bath tub...

Elmo likes to get clean too...

Shiny happy baby...

23 weeks...

I can't believe it has been 23 weeks since Katelyn was born. Time is flying!! She is growing like crazy, long and tall; she is sleeping through the night (9 to 10 hours - woo hoo); she is eating veggies and cereal; she is rolling all over and starting to try to crawl; she is babbling up a storm (can't imagine where she'd get that); and, overall, just entertaining us! lol! She is amazing and happy and we are loving every minute!

I will post some pics now...and hopefully, if we get a new camera for Christmas ::prays hard:: we will be posting pics in the future that are no longer blurry!! YAY!!

Katelyn's First Halloween 10 2009

Daddy picked out the costume...

Happy Halloween Everybunny!!

5 months already...

This month's pics are in our hula girl baby gap pajamas courtesy of a gift card from our work baby shower. Katelyn is sleepy in the morning but always smiles and laughs soon after she wakes up. She's such a happy baby!! We didn't get any other pics yesterday, just the morning pics in our pj's...so cute...

What a ham...

posing already! lol!

She's getting so big!!

More pumpkin patch photos...

Sneak peek...

Here's a sneak peek from our photo session at the pumpkin patch this past weekend from Andrea...
AWESOME RIGHT?!

So stinkin' cute!! More pics to come!

(I have been slacking, and I have a lot more photos to share, but I'll try to get those up soon!)

4 MONTH PICS!

We're at the stage now, where it's getting increasingly hard to get Katelyn to sit still for her monthly pics and to get her to smile for them. :( At least her mommy thinks she looks cute in her little outfits! ha ha! She does know when the camera comes out, I'll say that. So here was our attempts at 4 month shots...

"What do you mean my foot's in the way?"
"Okay, I'm sitting up now. And time for a wardrobe change."

"Fine, here's the sign see...ta dah!"

"Look, I'm Charlie the bear...arms out!"

"I'll smile for ya'...here...aren't I cute."

"See the pink flower on my dress mom?"

"Now, I'm really over this, I'm getting up."

"Ooooooooo baby doll!"

"My baby."

"See, the sign says 4 months."

I have more pics to post - those will be posted soon!

At her 4 month appointment yesterday she weighed 18 lbs. 4 oz. and is 27 inches long!! She's gonna be tall like her mommy & daddy! She's in the 95th percentile and doing well. Her shots went as expected - but she was great, we fed her a bottle when the ordeal ended and she was very content to be held and have it all over with. (Grandma G cried again.)

We're starting to feed her rice cereal from a spoon now and not just put it in her bottle at night. Yay for that milestone. Veggies & good stuff to come!!

She recently slept through the night again, but more often than not she's still getting up at least once in the middle of the night. Not bad though - - that will eventually go away and she'll let her mommy & daddy get a full night's sleep once again. Maybe. Maybe not until she's moved out of the house. ha ha!

17 weeks pics, and a few more...

I'm finding it's increasingly hard to get a non-blurry pic, because Katelyn is a squirmer!!


Here she's attempting to sit-up during the photo shoot...

"What Mom? I'm a mover and a shaker!"

I am 17 weeks old as of Wednesday 09 23 2009...

And I am one happy baby!!

Taken today...in her new "Baby Gap" onesie...again trying to sit up...

and grabbing for her toes!

She rolls from back to belly often now, and plays with her toes, and tries to eat her hands off. She's a serious drooler, but no teeth yet. She's growing so fast! She'll officially be 4 months old on Sunday, September 27th.

I'm not looking forward to her 4 month appointment on the 28th. More shots. :( But I will be interested to see how long (tall) she is and how much she now weighs!! Her awesome chunky thighs are so incredibly adorable and I want to "nom-nom-nom" on them all the time!

She now does "kisses" and opens her mouth for a kiss. (Something that will need to be corrected sooner than later - ha ha!)

We love our sweet baby Katelyn!!
