More Christmas

Katie enjoyed sitting next to the yule log. As always, she had to taste her toys first. Such a pretty face as she blows bubbles in her Christmas dress.

Christmas

We had a very nice Christmas. Katie got lots of clothes, books and fun toys. Nannie knitted her a new hat. Of course, she enjoyed eating the paper first, but then had fun with her toys.

Birthdays

Katie helped Aunt Kendall and daddy celebrate their birthdays. She can't wait until she can have some cake too.

6 Months

Katie is six months old. She is rolling around and can push herself backwards. I am trying to get some video of her rolling around. Anytime she sees me videoing, she stops and watches the camera. She is doing lots of babbling, laughing and just a genuinely happy baby.

Decorating the Tree and Eating Grandpa's Gift

Katie decided she wanted to help "un"decorate the tree. Now that she is rolling around, nothing is safe. She also noticed that part of Grandpa's present was under the tree and she wanted to make sure it tasted all right.

Santa

Katie made her first visit to see Santa. She wanted to be sure he was real so she grabbed his beard just to be sure. He is a great looking Santa.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving with family and friends. Grandpa fed Katie her Thanksgiving dinner of sweet potatoes. Max was home from college and finally got to meet Katie.

5 Months

We can't believe it has been 5 months already. Katie is rolling over, eating solids and sleeping through the night. She continues to have mommy's sparkling personality :):).

The Smallest Duck Fan

Katie was wearing her Oregon shirt proudly. Grandpa wanted to be sure the west coast was represented.

Pop-Pop

Katie met her pop-pop for the first time this weekend. Pop-pop came up from sunny Florida for Katie's baptism.

Baptism

We had a beautiful day for Katie's baptism. Katie was the best behaved baby at the baptism. We celebrated with friends and family. Thank you for all coming to help celebrate Katie's big day.

Halloween

Katie was a little chicken for Halloween. She went trick or treating to one house and then watched a few trick or treaters come to the door.

First Snow

Who would have thought Katie would have experienced her first snow on October 29? She seemed to enjoy the snow and wanted to try making a snow angel.

Merry Mead Farms

We went to Customer Appreciation Day at Merry Mead Farms that our realtor hosted. Katie took her first hay ride and saw some pumpkins.

Toys

I forgot to take some toys to Bethany when we went to visit.... seems Katie doesn't need any expensive toys. She was very happy with Gogo's measuring spoons.

Katie and Bea

Katie and I went to Bethany to visit Gogo, Jim, Bea and Bo. Bea took a liking to Katie and was watching over her.

Laughing

Eva came over today to play with Katie. She was a great helper and a fun play date. She has Katie laughing while playing peek a boo with her.

Cereal

Katie had her 4 month check up. She is 15lbs 7oz and 25 1/4 inches long. The doctor told us we could start her on cereal. He said there will be more on her than in. Katie is in her new high chair all ready for her cereal. She is not a fan of the cereal as you can see by her face.

Katie is sporting her Phils shirt! She is hoping to see them get a win tonight!

Four Months

People say they grow up so fast. I can't believe that Katie is 4 months already. She is not a great napper but is pretty much sleeping through the night. She can roll on her side and is working hard at rolling over. Her favorite past time is to put things in her mouth...as you can see with her ugly doll in the picture. You can also see she is no longer "the shrimp." She has moved to "pork chop" with her fat legs and arms and chubby cheeks.

Watching Football

Daddy went to Texas A & M for his 20 year reunion. Mommy and I had to stay home. Here I am watching the game in my A & M outfit. I don't see daddy in the stands.. I think he is in the nosebleed section.

Daddy's Little Aggie

Katie watched the Texas A&M football game with daddy. She was quite the little cheerleader!

Bumbo

We put Katie in her Bumbo today to work on holding her head up. We think in the next few weeks she should have that big old head all under control. She gets the big head from Ward's side of the family!
