I Like Dada!

Katelyn's new favorite word is Dada. Since yesterday, she has been talking up a storm about Dada. It just amazes me how much they can learn in just a few months. They go from doing nothing but starring to sitting, crawling, babbling, and walking all in the first year.... Crazy!

Borders and Puppets

Katelyn is finally feeling well enough that we feel comfortable taking her out of the house. We decided to get out this weekend. One of the places we went was Borders. I'm not sure how smart that was considering it was the last shopping weekend before Christmas. We didn't even need to fight the crowds because we had our shopping done. Nonetheless, we needed to get out. Other than trying to park, it wasn't too bad. Anyway, while at Borders, we ran across these puppets. Katelyn LOVED them especially the monkey. We didn't take it home though because it was sooo expensive and I can't let her play with it because it is all furry and she'll eat it, but I keep thinking about it. Santa just might have to suck it up and make another trip to Borders LOL. Watch the video. Could you deny this child a monkey puppet?

Our Tree

I'm late at posting this, but I'm at the doctor's office and have nothing better to do :) We got our tree a couple of weeks ago. It's our first real tree in this house. The only other real tree we had was in the mobile home we were in briefly.

Here they are cutting the bottom off.

And decorated...

Back to Hull's

This weekend, we went back to Hull portraits for Katelyn's 6 month pictures. In case you are wondering, this was before we knew she had RSV, it was later that afternoon when she started coughing up stuff that we decided to take her back to the doctor. She didn't seem that sick. She had a great time at her photo shoot. We invited her Nana and Pawpaw to the shoot too. They had a lot of fun trying to get her to smile for the camera. Here are some behind the scenes photos.

Getting ready for a Christmas shot.

We're are making fools of ourselves for Katelyn's enjoyment....

Stupid Weather

These up and down temps have taken its toll on Katelyn and me. I've some kind of cold or something. Poor Katelyn has RSV :( It's a respiratory virus. She can go back to day care Wednesday, but the symptoms will stick around for 6 to 8 weeks. She has to do breathing treatments which she is taking like a champ. She's actually been sick for like a month but it just recently turned to RSV. We had taken her to the doctor two times before, but at that point, it was just a cold. It is hard seeing her like that. She coughs so hard and for so long that she loses her breath. It's very scary. We must have caught it early though. We can already tell a big difference after the breathing treatments. I just hope she gets better before 6 weeks.

Torticollis Update

Katelyn had a check up with her physical therapist. She is doing good and making progress. Her head tilt was 10 degrees off center, and now she's only 5. Her therapist said she might even graduate at her next visit.

Thanksgiving 2010

It's been forever since I posted. Sorry about that. I've been busy. Now I have a lot to update you on.

We had a great thanksgiving and a great visit with family and friends. Thanksgiving was at our house this year. Steve, Monica, and the boys came and spent a few days. Mom and Dad stayed a while too.

Mom and Dad discovered that katelyn LOVES to watch the dogs play fetch.


Caleb loved to help out with Katelyn. It was so sweet. He feed her and even read her a bedtime story.

We also celebrated Christmas with Steve, Monica and the boys. Katelyn got lots of cute clothes and a really cool talking tea set that she LOVES. We have some video. My camera creates the video in some format my computer can't read. One day we will get them converted and share them with you.
