Hmm.. quite the look!

Katie was going for quite the look today.  Her t-shirt is stained with strawberries, no pants and she insists on wearing her new shoes.  The added touch is the sunglasses and Vera Bradley purse.  Funny that she won't wear her own sunglasses, but she will wear my old ones.  Loves carrying her purse too!  Such a girl!

Atlanta Grimes Visit

Patti, Will and Elly came for a visit before they leave for Toronto.  Katie had a blast with her cousins and they were great babysitters.  She loved playing with them and spending time in the pool.  Grandpa also came down for a visit. Katie wasn't real happy to have her picture taken for the group shot.

Baby Shower for Baby M

Ward's group threw a little baby shower for Baby M.  They were kind enough to invite me and Katie to the shower. Ward guessed about the shower, but didn't know we would be there.  Katie loved playing with the balloons...much more than I think she will like her new sibling.  Katie was trying out one of the new products for Campbells.

Ocean City, NJ

Many thanks to the Drumbore/Katarynick clan for having me and Katie down to the beach for a few days.  Katie had a blast playing with Eva and Henry.  She really enjoyed the beach too. For some reason she didn't eat the dry sand, but felt the need to eat the wet sand.  Big difference between this year on the beach and last year. Last year she was only 3 months old and she slept the entire time she was on the beach.

Various Katie Pictures

We went to say good bye to Tim as he prepares to go off to college.  Katie had a blast swimming in the freezing cold pool, playing on the slide and sitting in the hammock with Jack.

Peek A Boo Barn

We downloaded  Peek A Boo Barn for Katie. She loves sitting with daddy and the Ipad and looking at the animals in the barn.  She particularly loves the high pitch of the rabbit and the mouse.

Our big girl

Katie is now 13 months old. She will no longer sit still in her chair to have monthly pictures taken.  She will walk behind something and walk holding our hands.  Not quite ready to walk on her own. She loves her baby dolls as you can see. In fact her first word is baby.  Such a big girl sitting in her chair.  She continues to be a happy little girl and make us laugh all the time.
