Big Foot

Kate is discovering her hands, feet, and all sorts of things...a couple of days ago, Jared got her talking. I mean literally they had a conversation of sounds for like 20 minutes. It was amazing, and it just makes me more anxious to get to know her and really see her personality come out. She used to hate her tummy time but is really enjoying it now. Just changing every day.

Tickled Pink

Aunt KeKe (Kelsey) and Uncle Jep (Jesse) watched Kate for an hour or so the other night and snapped this cute pic...this is the closest we have to a giggle yet! Kate loves her KeKe and Jep...and is so lucky to spend so much time with them.

Great time with Great Grandparents

Kate got to meet her Great Grandma Katie and Great Grandpa John yesterday for the very first time. Katie is short for Kathryn Virginia...we're hoping Baby Kate will be able to live up to her beautiful name. We think she will.

Katie & John live in Rockford, IL so it's a real treat to have them here for Thanksgiving. Aunt Ste-B is flying in tonight as well for the holiday and will see Baby Kate for the first time in 7 weeks--they have a lot of catching up to do. haha

Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays...we get all the good eats without the huge to-do about gifts.:) Although I enjoy doing the Christmas shopping too.:)

What a fun time of year as the weather gets colder and Christmas lights are hung and cozy fires in the evenings, and puffy jackets, and snuggling on the couch, cruchy leaves on the sidewalk, Hog football games, getting the whole family together, God is just so good.

My my my...

Our sweet Kate Virginia is 2 months old tomorrow!!! She is all over the place already! Rolling over (at 5 weeks), cooing, smiling, clasping her hands in delight. Her little personality is coming out and boy is it fun! We are loving every minute of parenting (except the middle of the night minutes haha).

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from a serious milk-addict. :)

Family Times

Baby Kate loves her time with daddy. She loves bathtime too, but when it comes time to get out of the bath she's not too happy (as you can see). :) Our time as a family is so precious to me.

Lazy Autumn Days

First Date Post Baby--The Dyer Wedding

October 2006

We've had quite a busy month!

Kate is changing so fast! We were at the pediatrician on October 17th and she is weighing in at 11 1/2 pounds--growing like a weed! She started rolling over last week (5 1/2 weeks old). Jared and I aren't quite sure what we're in for, but it's sure to be a ride.

We've spent quite a few days in Fort Smith lately as Jared's been out of town on business, and had some great nights sleep there. Two nights in a row she slept from 10:30pm-5:30am and then 6:00am-10:30am. Talk about a miracle. Kind of cruel though because it didn't last.:)

She's really smiling now and cooing a lot. We are just enjoying our sweet baby and the blessing that she is. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
