Bad Mommy

Well, this weekend I had a bad Mommy moment. In an attempt to fed Kate more healthy snacks, I found that she likes apples! So for a snack Friday morning, I gave her apple slice after apple slice. Also, she is getting her moles in so I know that the apple had to feel good on her gums. Well, I gave her WAY too many apples and she got a Major diaper rash!!! She was screaming every time we changed her diaper!! She was screaming, Mike was holding her down and well I was crying and trying to clean her and apply the diaper rash cream. Well Friday night and Saturday it looked pretty bad, but by Sunday morning, there was no more screaming with a diaper change. It's amazing to me how fast the rash came and then how fast it was gone.

So Mommy lesson learned--don't give Tons of apple slices at one time!!!

On a happy note, we did finally have a nice day on Saturday and we took Kate to the park down the street. She had a great time!

Construction is finally over!!

Yes, the upstairs is finally done!! Kate loves her new playroom and Mike has even brought a new couch for his new media room! I think it looks great and I can't wait for the future when we will have all our kids playing in their playroom, while Mike and I relax in our media room--one of these days that will happen right??

Baby B

I had my first doctor appointment for "baby B" on Thursday. We were 7 weeks and 4 days along at that time. Our due date is Sept 12. I am feeling ok. Just tired and lots of nausea in the afternoon. There are certain things I seem to not be able to smell or eat, like chicken! But I don't think that I am as sick as I was last time. I am just hoping that this feeling leaves me at 13 weeks just like it did last time!!

Robertson Cousin Reunion

Kate and I headed to Jes & Brian's house on Thursday night to spend the night due to the painting of the upstairs (I will post photos of the upstairs when it is finished! Hopefully by tomorrow!) Thanks guys for having us! Friday morning, Kate and I headed to Dallas to stay with my cousin Jenn. It was a long drive that morning in the rain the whole way there!! By Friday night in Dallas it had gotten so cold and it was snowing!!! On Saturday morning when we headed out it was 25 degrees!! YIKES!! But we had a great time seeing our Robertson cousins. We saw our cousins Will and his wife, Mandy and their too cute twins who also live in Dallas, our cousin Allison who drove in from Shreveport and her daughter, Annie and their parents Marsha and John. Kate had a great time playing with Annie. We had lunch with them and just all enjoyed each others company. We tried really hard to get a picture of all four kids, but Annie would NOT have a part of it, so we did the best we could! The twins are 6 months old and Annie will be 2 in Feb.

Thanks to Jenn and Vincent for having us and to Will and Mandy for letting us have a place to all get together!!

Kate loved rocking in her rocking chair that is just her size!

House under Construction & cars

Our house is under construction so Kate & I headed to my parents house on Friday morning. That is after we dropped Mike off to buy his new car!! He has a new silver used BMW. A very beautiful & fancy car! Also, we have sold my Honda. I have to say I am sad to see it go, but I guess it's time to let go.
So this weekend our house has been under construction! We are enclosing our media room, & trying to make it sound proof. We are also building a wall & half wall to create a playroom out of our loft area. Mike has been sending me pictures & I can't wait to get home tomorrow to see our new upstairs!!!! I will upload photos when I get home!
Kate is as cute as ever & enjoying being spoiled by her MeMe! She has started trying to make the hand motions of itcy bitcy spider. She is having fun rocking in her new rocking chair that is just her size!
I seem to be feeling ok. Just tired & feeling yucky! We have our first dr appointment for what I will call "baby B" on Thursday. Mike & I have decided not to find out the sex of the baby this time so that should be interesting. I can't wait to see our new baby!!

We're expecting!!

Weekend in Houston

Kate and I took a trip to Houston this weekend. We were joined by my friend from college, Becca. On Saturday we stayed with my friend from college, Merchie. We were greeted by her and her son, Noah, and an Ultrasound!! As I am looking at this ultrasound--I realize that their were TWO babies on the ultrasound!! Merchie is having twins!! So crazy! She is due July 27th. Another one of my friends, Abbie, stopped by to hang out also. Kate had fun playing with Noah, who is almost 2. On Sunday, we spent the morning with my Aunt Connie and then headed to Beach City to see my roommate from college, Amanda's, brand new house! It was beautiful!! Soon after we had a tour of the new house, Merch showed up and then all three kids played together! Kate had fun with all of Mia's (who is 2 1/2) big girl toys. Kate and Mia even took a bath together!! So cute!

It was great to be with old friends! It was really neat to see our kids play together!

Merchie and Amanda--thanks for much for having us!!

Oh--and be sure to check out new videos of Kate!

Kate's belly button!

Kate is like a little sponge right now! I feel everyday she is learning something! She might not be talking but she is trying to make animal sounds now, so that's something. She tries to make a dog sound! She now knows ears, nose, month, chin, head, forehead, toes, eyes, tongue and my favorite is belly button!
