A Fun Week!

Kate is ready for visitors! We have had lots of people stopping by our house lately, so Mommy has fun getting Kate dressed up with her accessories!

I am having so much fun with BB this week! She is in town to play with me & help Mommy too. I have had a great time playing cars with her, reading books & playing outside! Currently I have such a fascination with any kind of vehicle. Last week Mommy & Daddy gave me a book called "The Big Truck Book." It has quickly become my favorite - I have had BB read it to me at least 5 times a day:) Today BB took me to a museum & I had the most fun in the parking lot - I told BB, "Michael watch cars!" Mommy loves the way I say pickup truck, "ickup truck" & motorcycle, "motonycle."

Today Kate is 3 weeks old! As you can see, Kate has already been rolling over on her side! She has done this several times, in both directions. She has also begun to follow our faces & track objects. Mommy is loving what a good sleeper Kate is too. Mommy only has to feed her once in the middle of the night - around 4am. Daddy has taken over the 11pm feeding with a bottle, so the past few nights Mommy has gotten 5 hours of sleep in a row! Wow!

Week 3!

It is so hard to believe that Kate is almost 3 weeks old! How time flies, at least for me! I have been doing such a good job sharing with Kate. In the above photo I had given Kate Bear & blanket! This is a big deal - Bear & blanket are my favorites!
I thought Kate might enjoy playing a little golf - I gave her my golf club.
Today Mommy took Kate to the Dr. for her check-up! When Mommy put Kate on the scale, she & the Dr. were amazed that Kate is already 7 lbs, 15 oz!! They were so amazed, that they weighed her 3 times just to make sure! Kate is in the 45th percentile with her weight & she is 20 inches long, which puts her in the 25th percentile with her length! The Dr. was pleased & said everything looks great! We are so thankful!

Fun at the Lake!

We had so much fun having Daddy home with us last week! On Friday we went to the lake that is near our house to enjoy the beautiful weather! I had a blast throwing rocks with Daddy!

Kate enjoyed snoozing in the stroller!

Brother/Sister Gifts!

A few days before Kate's arrival, Mommy & Daddy took me to Toys R Us so I could buy a gift for Kate. I picked out this cute pink puppy dog all by myself! Yesterday I gave it to her! I think she really likes it! Kate gave me 2 new books - I Love You Through & Through & a really fun Truck book that I wanted to look at the rest of the day!


Giving Kate a kiss!

Swaddled Up!

"Auntie Daree" is a nurse so she is REALLY good at swaddling Kate:) Mommy wishes she could swaddle Kate every time - Kate can't seem to escape:)

A special nap with Daddy - we love having him home this week!

We love Mommom!

Mommom left on Monday after being here for 2 weeks! We love her & miss her so much! I have been asking constantly, "Where did Mommom go?" Thank you Mommom for playing with me, helping Mommy with Kate & doing so much for us! We are so thankful for you & can't wait to see you again soon!

Kate's Second Week


Kate is beginning to be awake a little more often.
Mommy put Kate's Moses Basket in her crib & it works perfectly! Kate feels snuggled in her cozy, little bed & Mommy gets better sleep too:)
A sweet sleeping picture -
