Our New Home!!!

This is one half of our living room - the other half currently has a few boxes and will eventually be a craft/guitar/play area for the whole family:)

These are pics of Kaitlyn's room - lucky for us the room was already purple.

Here are Kaitlyn and Dave in our kitchen... he came to visit us for lunch and she sat in the kitchen in her high chair to visit:)

Here I am after breakfast this morning 'chillin' in my high chair - this is my preferred way of sitting at the table with the adults.

Yesterday Auntie Steph, Uncle Jeremy and the kids came over to see our new place. Mimi and Grumps came too and we had a great time visiting with everyone and showing them our new home. The grown ups played Wii and me and Braydon played together while Morganne helped unpack my clothes and looked for the choo choo. She loves the big water fountain in the park across the street so we had to go see it twice yesterday. I think we're going to go see it again today too:)

Happy Sunday!

I rolled over!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me in my Memorial Day dress and flag from the Irvington parade.

All the dads after dinner and taking a quick break from packing the Payne's truck.

Me in my super cool high chair!

It has been a VERY busy few weeks for us Metcalfe's.

We are signing in from our awesome new apartment in Lyndhurst, NJ after a graduation party, a moving sale, helping the Payne's move out and packing ourselves up and going to Morganne's 2nd birthday party.

Daf saying goodbye to Luke - notice the pj's and SHOES!!

Jeremy collecting all of Morganne's presents for her.

After the truck was packed - before they left us:(

Here are some quick highlights from the past few days:

* Kaitlyn has learned how to roll over - I went in to her room and looked in her crib and she was on her belly:( We missed it.

So, of course we tried to watch her for like half an hour after that and she wouldn't do it.... so we left it alone and then later on today she was on the floor and Dave and I were looking for the computer cords to put up a posting and she did it again while we weren't watching:(

So... we sat and watched her for another 20 minutes and she FINALLY did it for us... we'll get a video and hopefully post it sometime this week.

* Kaitlyn has reverted back to getting up every 3 hours at night, which sucks for us... she isn't sleeping so we aren't sleeping. She doesn't want to eat during the day, but then she's up all night to eat - so we decided to start trying her on food, in hopes that it would help with the eating at night thing.

We think she kinda likes it:)

* Kaitlyn has an AWESOME big girl room now. The room is bigger than we remembered it being when we looked at the apartment originally so we are happier than you can imagine! There is space for a play area in her room and a place for a play area in our large living room. We will post pics from the apartment once we have a chance to take some and we are done unpacking.

Happy Wednesday Night!

Happy Weekend!!

Tummy Time

This week I had my 4 month doctors visit and I am 13 pounds and 24 inches long:)

We have been packing up the apartment so that we can move soon. Mommy keeps telling me my room is going to be bigger, so I'm excited to see it.

Yesterday was Luke's 2nd birthday part at the park. Mommy and daddy didn't take pictures, but all the other mommies and daddies did, so hopefully we will have some soon and we can share them here.

This week, we have to pack up more and hang out with the Paynes because they are leaving a few days before we are. Then next weekend, we are having a moving sale to clear out some of the stuff we don't need to take to New Jersey - so it's going to be another busy week!

Here is some video of me hanging out in my crib:)

Happy Mothers Day!!

My Birthday/Mothers Day Weekend

"Bye Bye Luke" Party

So, yesterday was mommy's birthday, but it was also a Surprise Going Away Party for the Paynes... I'll let mommy tell you all about it.

So, Steph, Jess and I had been planning a "girls day" for weeks... except it was really a cover for a surprise party for the Paynes and I got to spend the day with most of my favorite people too!

So, the details weren't very clear, except Jess thought we were getting our nails done - (which we really want to do still) So, everyone was waiting for the Payne's to arrive (they were running "Payne late") and Steph kept having me text Jessica cause we wanted to know where they were so we could surprise them. At one point, they said they were getting food, so I had to tell them NO, we are eating here and Now - so I'm sure they were like.. what the heck is she talking about - but they aborted their mission and came to Stephs where we were able to Surprise Jessica, cause Jeremy was still outside by the car...

Dave actually bet me that Jess would wear open toe shoes, (which she did) and all week steph and I were nervous at what Jess's reaction would be when she found out we weren't really going for a girls day - so we will HAVE to do it next sunday in Irvington!!!!

We spent the day enjoying the kids as usual! Here are some shots of Morganne and Luke (or Mo Mo and Luka as they call each other)

We made another attempt at the all kid photo shoot - here's the only pic I got and below it is what it took to get that shot!!!:)

Part of the "cover" story was that the boys were going to help open the pool, but I told Steph that they should take advantage of having the guys there and do it for real... so here is a picture of the boys hard at work waiting for the water to drain out of the cover!

Here is a picture of Grammie helping Katie ride the Power Wheels!

And here is our resident Baby Whisperer Jackie... holding a very happy Braydon!

Happy Mothers Day Weekend everyone!

Me and my Toucan

Then (the day I came home from the hospital)
Now - 3.5 months old! Look at the difference in my outfit! It was the smallest outfit we had, and we thought for sure she'd fit in it from the hospital... but as you can see... we were WRONG. it fits her now - but it's still loose:)

In my super cool gym, my favorite toy seems to be this toucan.

It was the first thing I tried to grab at and I grab it every time I play in my gym.

Check me out...

Happy Wednesday

New Tricks!

Standing with mommy! I can go from lying down flat... to standing up if you pull my arms.

I also like to sit/stand/sit/stand/sit/stand until I get tired:)

Here I am in one of my beautiful bath robes and terry slippers before my latest bath!

And, here I am with daddy... doing what I do best... eating my hand while watching tv;)

And my best trick yet... singing with Mimi!!

Enjoy:)
