Merry Christmas!

Kate's first Christmas was wonderful! We had Mike's parents here, his sister, his brother, Mike's uncle, and his grandparents all here on Christmas day! It was wonderful to have Kate surrounded by those who love her on her first Christmas! On Saturday we spend Christmas with my family. It was a great holiday! We have tons of pictures of course!

Cousin Jenn and Vincent's Church wedding in Dallas

Last weekend Kate and I took our first solo trip out of town. We traveled to Dallas to see my Cousin Jennifer and Vincent have their church wedding. Kate was excellent in the car on the way there and back, but boy did I get a taste of what it's like to be a single mother! Trying to get all our stuff to and from the car from the hotel was crazy!

Kate is really smiling a ton now and it is soo fun to make her smile and laugh!! She has now started to put everything in her month (she especially loves her fingers!)Also, her hair seems to be getting a little hint of red!!

We are all very excited for Kate's first Christmas!

Kate's 2 mth photos

Thanksgiving

Kate is now 2 months old! She weighs 10 lbs 4 ozs. (50%) and is 22 inches long (25%). She is really smiling a ton now and even laughing at her Daddy and me. We have also taught her to stick out her tongue and she does it all the time now! She was great on our trip to Lufkin for Thanksgiving, she slept the whole way there and back! Everyone is saying what a perfect baby she is, and I have to say that I agree!

Kate at 6 weeks!

Wow--Kate is 6 weeks already! She has started to smile alot! Before it seems she just smiled for no real reason, but now it seems we can make her smile! She also loves to sit up and look around when she is awake. She loves the song "head, shoulders, knees and toes" and as you can see in the pictures she can hold her head up and look you in the eye when she is laying on your chest!
