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!!

More pics from the weekend...

Uh-oh, mom's got the camera out again...


if I close my eyes, maybe she'll think I'm sleeping...

how about about if I try to eat my whole hand?

I know, I'm funny, and oh so cute!

More pics, different day...here we go again...

I don't think this is a great angle mom...

I see you in there...

Maybe if I look away she'll stop...

Or maybe the angry face will make her turn off the camera...

Even the angry face is cute - lol!!

Guess who sleeps in her crib now?

That's right! Sweet baby Katelyn!! She is so happy now that mommy has reached the stage where she can let her baby sleep in her crib instead of her bassinett! ha ha! Katelyn was so big in her bassinett as of late, that it was just time. And now she has a ton of room. Though, she looks pretty spread out in the pic above - - she really does look smaller in the bed in person. lol!

Saturday night was her first night in the crib (the pic above is from one of her afternoon naps on Saturday). I fed her at 7:45 p.m. and laid her down at 8:15 p.m. and she slept until 4:00 A.M.!! WOO HOO!! YAY KATELYN!

I will post a few more pics in a separate post from this weekend! She's getting so big!! (Do I say that every time now?! lol!)

More pics of Katelyn to share...

What's up people?

She tries to get that thumb in there to stay, but mostly she just chokes herself when she does this - ha ha - I tell her "see, sucking your thumb isn't as great as they say it is." She keeps trying though!

Just a couple of pics from last weekend...

In my carseat, as usual, on our weekends running errands...mmm, fingers good...

Aww Mom, more pics?

I know, I'm SUPER CUTE!

Okay, I think that's enough for now...

See Mom, see this...this is my tongue!

Who wouldn't want to smooch on that face all day long!! :)

It's September already?

I can't believe it's September. A year ago this month we found out we were pregnant. We were only a few weeks away from leaving on our vacation to Italy. We were so ecstatic when we found out, we told our parents within the hour of "peeing on a stick". LOL! We framed a pic of the pee stick and gave it to them. ha ha! I can't believe it's been a year and our baby is already three months old. Time is flying, but we're enjoying every minute. She changes weekly - and is growing like a weed. She's smiling and laughing, and the cooing is more like singing. She does it often and we love hearing her sweet little voice. It's amazing to wake up every morning and see her smiling face, so happy. She's such a good baby!

Mommy & Daddy love you sweet baby Katelyn! We're so blessed to have you in our lives and we look forward to sharing each milestone with you as it comes along.
