Katelyn is 4 months old!

We can hardly believe our little girl is already 4 months old. The time has gone by so quickly. She went for her 4 month check up and the doctor said she looks great! She weighed 14 lbs and is 24 inches long. She even rolled over on the exam table to show off for the doctor. Mommy was so proud! She is changing more everyday and is getting quite a personality. She is still very sweet but is starting to get quite feisty when she wants to. I guess she takes after her parents :) Below are some pictures we took around the house one day.

Katelyn still loves her bath time and as you can see is starting to fill up her baby tub very well.

Her hands are in her mouth at ALL times!

She was being really cute in her crib and I couldn't resist taking these pictures.

Here she was having a full conversation with me.

Happy baby!

Katelyn's First Easter- 2010

Our first Easter with Katelyn was very nice. We had family and friends at our house for the holiday and I don't think Katelyn sat by herself at all that day. She is very loved! She received several Easter baskets and stuffed bunnies. It was a very nice day.

Here is Katelyn with Grandma Di and Aunt Steph. Grandma Rose is in the background. She had her bunny dress on all dressed for the occasion.

Look at those chunky cheeks!

Happy Easter!

We want to wish everyone a very happy Easter and happy spring. Katelyn had her first (well, actually second if you count the one in the hospital) photo shoot for her 3 month pictures. Since it was so close to Easter we decided to make some of them also Easter photos. She did great for the photographer. All is good here with us. We are finally starting to enjoy some beautiful spring weather as it's been quite a cold winter here for us Floridians! We hope you have a blessed holiday.

Katelyn learning music at an early age

This is too cute... I caught Todd and Katelyn having a little music time together the other day and couldn't resist recording it to share. She loves music and in particular when her daddy plays guitar and sings to her. Watch how her legs get moving when he picks up the beat. Enjoy!

(Please note: you have to scroll to the bottom of the page and pause the background music on the project playlist media player before playing this video or you won't be able to hear the guitar)

3 Months old

We can hardly believe Katelyn is already 3 months old. As you will see in the pictures below, she has changed so much already. She has a language of her own in her babbles and coos and is stronger everyday. Now we just have to get her to sleep through the night EVERY night, not just every once in a while :) On a sadder note.. mommy had to start back to work this week. It was a very hard day but all survived. Hopefully every week will get easier. The blessed part is that if she isn't with mommy she is with daddy or grandma. Couldn't ask for a better situation.

Tummy Time

Katelyn is really starting to enjoy her playmat. She loves to look at all the colors and to kick the musical pad. She just made an effort to reach for one of the toys too. Getting stronger everyday ... and bigger too as you will see below. She is such a joy for us! Mommy starts back to work a week from Monday so hopefully all goes well with that transition. We'll post more pictures soon.

Katelyn is 9weeks old... already??

The time is flying by so quickly that our baby is already 9 weeks old. Just to give a quick synopsis of how things are going... Katelyn had her 2 month pediatrician appt. last Friday. She has reached 10 lbs and was 22.5" long. The doctor said she looked great and is growing well. She said she could now ride forward facing in the baby bjorn and also in the jogging stroller (music to mommy's ears since there is still baby weight to be lost!! ) She did have to have two shots which she let us know how she didn't appreciate, but all in all she did very well. It's amazing to see how she is reaching more milestones every week. She is holding her head up very well and is getting stronger everyday with tummy time. She LOVES her mobile in her crib, watching every move it makes. Music of any kind is her best friend, including when she and daddy play piano. If she is fussing he can sit down at the piano with her and she will immediately calm if he starts playing. We also have good news.. she is for the most part sleeping 6-7 hours at night straight. WAHOO!!! We never thought that would come and we have to say we are very lucky it has come already. There are some nights she still wakes but for the most part she is doing great with her sleeping at night. (I say this now...fingers crossed :) Oh and I can't forget to mention the endless smiles she gives us everyday. She even giggled for the first time last weekend. All are priceless to experience with her.

Hope all is well with everyone as we enter into spring. Bring on the warm weather!
