My Big Road Trip

I went on a long road trip last week which started Tuesday at Aunt Stephanie's house for a playdate. Then we went to Mimi's until Friday morning, because mommy and daddy were going to a Spring Gala at Manhattanville Thursday night. Then early Friday morning, we left for Maine to meet my family up there:)

We had a great time and I did ok with the travelling... but it's going to take a day or two for me to get back to normal - my sleep schedule is still off but we'll fix it.

Mommy totally forgot to take pictures at my party with my maine family because she was having so much fun visiting.. but now she's sad cause she wishes she had pictures of everyone... next time we will make sure to take some!

This week should be very low key, with no travelling, so hopefully we can fix my sleep schedule:)

My Jumperoo!!

Mommy put me in my jumperoo yesterday and was happy to see that I was MUCH bigger than before. I didn't dangle as much and only needed one book to stand on.

Here's a picture of me 2 weeks ago when mommy and daddy tried to put me in it for the first time.

And here I am this morning playing in it like a pro!

Last picture of the day is my new favorite Pouty Face!

Today I'm off to Aunt Stephanies and then Mimi and Grumps and then off to meet my family in Maine!

See you all later!

Big day with the girls!

Mommy's good friends from college came to visit us all day yesterday and we had a great time.

We went down to the park on the river, and I got to be around for my first girl talk session:)

They held me and fed me and burped me - it was so much fun to hang out with them. I can't wait until we get to do it again:)

Today we are off to M'ville, where mommy and daddy met for a alumni bbq and then we are going to Titi Millie's for Poker night:)

My busy social schedule!

This week, mommy and I went to visit daddy at his job in New Jersey. We also went to look at an apartment 7 minutes away frm daddy's office and they signed a lease for us to live there for a year. The apartment has much more space than our current apartment and a beautiful kitchen and inground pool in the backyard. It's right across the street from a park for me and there is a Dunkin Donuts and Rite Aid and Shop Rite 1/2 a block away. It's a very safe town and the police station is on our street too.

Here is a picture of the new kitchen

Mommy is sad because she'll be further away from Mimi and Aunt Stephanie... but she knows it's best for our family because it means that we will have LOTS more family time and daddy won't have to commute any more. Mommy is happy about that because she always hated that daddy had to commute so far and she is excited about being able to have lunch all together. Because of this move, daddy will gain 3 - 4 hours extra every day with us. And, he promised to drive me and mommy to mimi or stephanies whenever we want for short visits.

After we left the apartment, we went to daddy's work where he got to show me off! Ask him about the special poop I saved up for him that he had to clean on his desk!!

This week, Luke's mimi came to visit too and I got to meet her for the first time. Aunt Stephanie brought Morganne and Braydon down to visit too and here I am with Luke's Mimi and Braydon relaxing on the chair.

Today, mommy's good friends from college are coming to spend the day with us. Tomorrow we get to go to Poker Night with the family and Sunday, I meet Alaina for the first time. I'm so excited to have such a busy social schedule at 3 months of age.

Next week, we get to go to Grammy and Grandpa's in Maine to meet my family up there and I can't wait. Mommy and daddy are nervous about the drive because they aren't sure how I will sleep and eat - but we are going to take our time getting up there on Friday morning to make sure it doesn't mess up my schedule too much and I won't be cranky for the family:)

I'm sure I will have lots more fun pictures to post for you all after my busy weekend! For now, I'm off to watch some morning television!

Katie's Favorite Snack!

A new video for you all!:)

Happy Easter

This was my first Easter and I had a lovely, 1- nap day with mommy and daddy!

Check out the easter basket daddy made me!

Here I am with my super cool monkey bunny!!!!

Daddy even played guitar for me in the morning:)

And here I am at the end of the day borrowing Luke's bunny ears:)


Mommy and Daddy don't know what to do with me because I have decided that I don't want to nap during the day anymore. It makes me cranky at night and then I get so worked up that I can't sleep and I scream and scream... so they are trying to force me to nap during the day, but we'll see if it works... so far I haven't really felt like it!

Hanging out with my friends

Mommy wanted to get some pictures of me with all my best friends all dressed up, so Auntie Stephanie brought Braydon and Morganne over after their Easter Pictures, and we had a photo shoot with Luke.



There were temper tantrums, screaming toddlers, and sleeping babies - but hopefully one of the mommmies got a good picture of all 4 of us.

Mommy was able to get this cute shot of me and Braydon - he's 6 days older than me.

This is the only one on mommy's camera of all 4 of us and the boys are cut off:(

We went to the park after this and I can't wait until I'm big enough to play like Luke and Morganne!!!

New Video!

Daddy got me to copy him so mommy tried and we taped it:)

Fun Spring Day with my Friends!!!!!

Today was another big day for me! I went to the Danbury Mall with the Paynes to see the Easter Bunny.. Here I am at the food court waiting for mommy and daddy to finish eating so I could get my picture taken. I'm wearing my spring dress and mommies old baby bonnet!

Here I am with the Easter Bunny... I'm eating my hand in this one. It cost $15 bucks for the picture they took, so this is the knock off!!! YIKES~ but mommy and daddy bought it anyway cause it was a very cute picture of me and the easter bunny - we'll scan it later to post here:)Here is me with my buddy Braydon cuddling in his swing for a picture...
The big kids(Morganne and Luke) got to have an easter egg hunt, but Braydon and I each stole an egg to play along too!

I had such a good time with all my friends!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Spring!!!

Love,

Katie!

LONG weekend at Mimi and Grumps!

This weekend, I went to the airport with mommy and daddy to pick up Mimi after spending 2 days with grammie and grandpa. (mommies camera was in Puerto Rico with mimi, so she only has this one picture of me with Grammie - but we had a great time!!!

Unfortunately, mommy got sick with a cold and didn't want to be home alone with me cause she couldn't take medicine. So, we got to stay with Mimi and Grumps from Friday night until tonight. (wednesday) Grumps gave me my night bottles, and mimi spoiled me in the mornings by hanging out with me so mommy could sleep in!:) I even got to hang out in my awesome camping chair that Carly gave me on the deck for the first time.

All in all, it was a wonderful long weekend and mommy got over her cold because of all the extra sleep she got.

Thanks Mimi and Grumps - I'll miss you!

Here I am with grumps.... hunting bad guys!!!!
