Twelve weeks. Katie has been so busy these days. She is starting to roll over, grasp things, smile more and more, talk to us and really track things with her eyes. She loves to watch Sunny and Austin every chance she gets.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 11 Weeks & 10 Years

Eleven weeks of life and ten years of marriage. Katie agreed to share her Teddy Bear picture with Mom this week. Marian puts her wedding dress on every year just for fun.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 10 Weeks

Ten weeks. Katie is so strong and wants to move. She is trying to sit up all the time. She is also trying to turn over. Any day now.

Here she is pulling herself forward, one of her favorite things to do.

Do You Like This Face?

Austin has a new game, he asks us "Do you like this face?" and then proceeds to make a face. Here are just a select few of the faces we see.

These are the faces we like the best.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 9 Weeks

Nine weeks and 27 months. It is so fun to watch these two grow. Katie is starting to really pay attention to Austin and he loves showing her his toys or getting her a toy when she is upset.

Summer Fun

Dean is headed to Vegas next week and wanted to get in some practice time with his craps game. Austin joined right in and was all time roller. He always won and awarded himself with a blue chip each time.

It's pool time in the backyard. Sunny was very excited to see her pool make an appearance. Austin was loving Sunny with the hose.

Austin was not loving his pool with the hose. Water is not his favorite right now. We are working on it.

Katie hanging out and enjoying the shade.

The Fam. Austin giving Katie kisses, Dad swatting flies and drinking a big boy drink and Mom just hanging out enjoying the sight of her little family, the smell of the grill and her big girl drink. Oh how I have missed a good margarita. Good times.

Katie's aunts threw a Sip-N-See for her. We had a great time and I only have one picture of the event. Hopefully there are more out there I can post later. Here she is with Ellen.

Picnic dinner by the lake. Austin was too busy eating and would not look at the camera.

Dad and Katie.

Feeding the ducks.

Headed down to the lake to feed the ducks and fish.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 8 Weeks

Eight weeks. We didn't get a Teddy Bear picture taken this week, but here are some pictures of Katie at eight weeks. She had her two month check-up and she is doing great. She is now 12 lbs 1 oz and 23 inches long. She grew a whole inch in the last month. Maybe she is trying to be tall like her daddy.

She is smiling so much more and starting to coo and babble at us. She is also wiggling more and more everyday. She loves to spread her arms wide and kick, kick, kick.

Teddy Bear Thursday - 7 Weeks

Just For Fun

A first of many smiles to come.

Don't worry it is sparkling white grape juice. Austin is a huge fan.

Austin is turning into all boy. He found the mud this week after all the rain and started playing in it with his scoop. He loved it!

Here is the best kitchen helper a mom could ask for. He loves to pour, stir, mix and of course taste.
