Me and my buddy Luke

Everyone knows Luke is my neighbor next door. He hasn't really wanted much to do with me since I've been home, but today, I got to cuddle with him for a little bit. (Mommy and Uncle Jeremy supervised us of course!!)
First I just sat next to him, and then I sat in his lap and he even hugged me! One time he did push me away towards my mommy, but then he kept putting his arms out asking to hold me again! I'm sad because hes only going to be here for 3 more months - so I have to get as much bonding time as possible with him and his mom and dad before they abandon us to go back home to Mobile!




Here I am next door with mommy and daddy, we were trying to get a family picture, cause we don't have many with all 3 of us!


Have a good weekend!

This weekend, mommy and daddy took me out on our first triple date. We went to Fridays where they got really yummy smelling cheeseburgers and I slept throught the whole thing!!!
It was a success:)





This was daddy's first time giving me a bath, and I didn't cry not one little bit. He did such a good job and it was so soothing and I didn't even wriggle as much as I usually do. Guess someone has a new full time position giving me my baths;) Mommy loves this picture, it's one of her favorites!




Here's me in my first head band;)

See ya soon!

sleeping or eating??

Sitting in my Glider Chair:)












Yesterday, Aunt Stephanie came to visit the Eckar Street Kids with Morganne and Braydon!


3 mommies, 4 kids, and 3 strollers attempted to go out for a walk. It was nicer out before we went outside, and the preparation to get outside took longer than our walk did, but we made it and walked a whole 4 - 5 blocks hahahaha!!!! Aunt Jess and Luke braved it all the way down to the library, but the rest of us decided it was way too cold and opted to walk the local blocks...






This weekend, we are having a quiet weekend at home - just the 3 of us! The past 5 weeks have gone by so fast and with so many visitors, we are excited to spend some time together alone at home so we can clean up, relax and try to figure out this kids eating schedule - because it's still all over the place:)

Bath Time Again

Staff Sgt. wanted to give Katie a bath, so he and Dave gave her a sponge bath to calm her down... Once again, decide for yourself if she finds baths from Mimi and Staff Sgt. soothing ;)

Valentines Weekend






Me and Grammie hung out in the kitchen this weekend. Look how well I hold my head up!!!
We had a busy weekend! Grammie and Grandpa and Mimi and Staff Sgt spoiled me all weekend! I had special visitors too! I saw the Brights, Debbie and Steve, Cousin Aislinn and Uncle Uncle Ruben this weekend. I still like to sleep during the day and play at night, but I give mommy and daddy a break sometimes!!! (if they are good)
Monday, I was in daddy daycare while mommy ran errands and I was very good for him all day, then was fussy with mommy at night;)
Today, mommy and I went to the dr. I weight 7 lbs. 6 oz - a whole pound and 6 oz more than when I came home last month. I got my first shot today and I only cried for 5 seconds:)
Let's see if I feel like sleeping tonight;)

My new vibrating chair

All the blogs say that this vibrating chair is supposed to work wonders on soothing babies and putting them to sleep - here is what Katie thinks of it!!!!

Week 4

I'm such a big girl now!



It's a little dark, but I love the look on her face in this pic! She's saying... You talkin to me?




Here's Kaitlyn and Pooh relaxing in the Boppy - which she will do sometimes for about 10 - 15 minutes at a time...


This is me in my car seat on my first long trip in the car. We went to Danbury to meet Mimi cause she left some stuff at our house by mistake and we met up to deliver it. I like the car seat and usually sleep the whole time - I don't like when we slow down or stop though....

I still think I'm a college student and stay up at night and sleep during the day and I'm still hungry ALL the time - I'm a regular little miss piggy! So mommy spend lots of time feeding me - which is hard cause some days and nights she doesn't get much of a break at all:( but it's ok - we're dealing with it and just have to try to sleep more during the day during my naps if she can.





Staff Sgt. (Grumps as mommy calls him) came to see me from Canada yesterday and we went to Walmart and Target to run errands:) He can't get enough of me! I already have him wrapped around my tiny little finger!!! He even thinks my poops are cute!!!
Mommy and Daddy have been giving me bottles at night - one of breastmilk and one of formula to try to let mommy have some sleep too... So, here I am getting my first bottle from daddy. He's good at burping me:)

This weekend, we are going to Mimi and Grumps house and Grammie and Grandpa from Maine are coming to visit and Uncle Uncle Ruben and Aislinn and Will are coming to meet me too! It's going to be a busy weekend, so I have to try really hard not to want to eat all day long so that I can be polite and social like mommy wants me to be.

Tuesday is my 1 month appointment and we will post our new weight after we're done:)

Thanks for reading!

Mimi Comes To Visit and Kaitlyn's First Bath




This past weekend Mimi came to visit. Kaitlyn's cord fell out last weekend and we decided it was time for her first bath in her bath tub. Annie and I were somewhat apprehensive about the first bath because thus far Kaitlyn has not enjoyed her sponge baths very much. Mimi insisted that baby's find the bath soothing and calming, so we decided to let Mimi give Kaitlyn her first bath. Annie captured the experience on film. We will leave it up to the viewer to decide how soothed she looked.

At the beginning of Mimi's visit we sent a picture up to Grandpa Inigo aka Staff Sergeant. Since he is in Canada and unable to visit as easily as Mimi he informed her that she can visit but can't hold Kaitlyn. Well as you can see she did not listen. When we sent this picture we did not carefully look it but there is something that Staff Sergeant was quick to point out that makes this picture very amusing. See if you can find it.
