This dress was my niece's when she was a baby and I absolutely love it. Kate just loves having pictures taken of her! Gosh, I wonder where she gets that from??!! haha
My Happy Baby!
As long as Kate is being held or talked to, she is the happiest and easiest baby in the world. But don't mess around with trying to put her down and walking away.... She has started her attachment disorder with me. It is very tiring, but also endearing. It's sweet that she loves me so much, but sometimes mommy needs a break!
Security bumper pad!
Kate goes to sleep in her crib while she plays with the satin fringe on top of the bumper. It's so cute. My sister made her bedding, so I think it's so sweet that she looks for the satin every time in order to fall asleep!
Pillow Bumper Pad!
Kate also will use the bumper pad as a pillow every now and then. It's usually after I have let her cry herself to sleep, this is how I find her.
Independent girl!
Yea! This was one milestone that I was excited for. Kate can now hold her own bottle! But of course, she plays dumb most of the time so she can relax! But when time is neccessary, she will hold onto it!
Best Friends!
Emma and Kate LOVE eachother. I have never seen a baby who is more aware of dogs! She giggles and screams when she sees Emma. And Emma licks her like a crazy.
Inseparable!
Yet another picture of the two girls. Wherever Kate is, Emma is not far! Emma actually gets very alarmed if I walk away from Kate and leave her by herself!
I love Baylor!
Our future Baylor Bear! Let's hope she gets a scholarship!!!
New favorite toy!
Kate loves playing with her picnic table. She pulls herself up to stand and will play with this toy for hours!
Denim Dress
My sister, Tania, has been so gracious to give Kate all of her little girl clothes. This is one of them! A Baby Guess dress! It is adorable.
Daddy Daycare!
I work every Tuesday at the hospital and every other Saturday. The Saturdays I work, Dave gets "baby" duty! And this is what it usually looks like!!! They are really bonding!!!
Kate's first trip to downtown Chicago!
We had so much fun in Chicago visiting my family! One day, Dave and I took Kate on the train downtown and spent all day in 20 degree weather. Kate absolutely loved it. She slept the whole day we were down there! She definitely has the northern blood in her!!
Baby Gap!
We take a picture every month of Kate's birthday in the same black and white chair. It's so fun to see how much bigger she is getting in that little chair! This was taken on January 6, her 3 month birthday.
Mini Me!
Future nurse....or doctor!?
Precious feet
I had fun the otehr night and took some adorable "feet" pictures of Dave and Kate. I absolutley LOVE this picture.
Summer dress in November!
Kate and I played dress up the other day and we had so much fun. Texas is still warm enough for this summer dress. Kate has been the greatest addition to our lives. I am having so much fun with her.
Baylor Bound!
We had a great time last weekend at homecoming. Dave and I got to introduce Kate to all our friends. She was the hit of the weekend! She is such an easy traveler so far. We will be going to many more homecomings to come!!!
GO BAYLOR!!!!!
Kate is already a baby bear! We are so excited to introduce her to her first Baylor Homecoming next weekend! She has an entire Baylor outfit ready to wear to the game.
My special flower hat!
My best high school friend made Kate this hat. It is so cute on her! It keeps her little head nice and warm in this beautiful fall weather. Thanks Aunt Jacki.....
We love our sling!
Kate loves to snuggle up in her sling. This is the way we get her to sleep when she has already eaten and still fussy! I guess she still feels like she is in the womb!
Hi everybody!
WOW! So many things to see out in the world! I can't wait to meet my Chicago family!!
Our wonderful midwife!
Here Dave and I are with Betty, our amazing midwife, holding Kate. I truly feel blessed to have met Betty and to have had her a HUGE part of our birthing story! She is a precious friend of ours now! I plan on all my next babies to be birthed by her!
Sweet baby girl!
I think I have my mommy and daddy wrapped around my little finger!!!
Come out, Kate!!
Daddy is already "scolding" his daughter. We are VERY ready to have Kate in our arms. I asked Dave yesterday if he wouldn't mind holding her for a couple hours now!! He just laughed. She weighs approximately 6.5 Ilbs. right now. Dave likes to be goofy with Kate even now!
Aunt Nene'
This is my best friend, Rene'. She is excited to meet Kate. Rene' and I were college roommates at Baylor and became instant sisters! Dave and I love going to Waco to see her and stay at her nice "pad"!! We love her, and we know that Kate will too!
Baylor Alumni Rugby Game
Dave and his cousin Matt (far left) with two of their buddies! The "old geezers" won against the current Baylor rugby guys. They played really well. Even in their "older" age, they still got it!!!
This is the person I was meant to be with. He is my best friend, the one person who can make me laugh harder than anyone else, and the man whom my heart loves the deepest!! He is my husband! It hardly feels like we've been married for a year in a half. And now to be awaiting the birth of our little girl! We are so excited for Kate to arrive. She is already so much loved.
Every day seems to bring us closer and closer to holding Kate in our arms. From the day we found out that we were expecting, until when we got a VERY real glimpse of our little girl. It has been an exciting and wonderful journey.
