We didn't get a lot of pictures from Christmas, but we did get a couple, plus a few videos. We've had a busy couple weeks though. The week before Christmas was Me-moms birthday, and Katie decided we should buy her a balloon (by grinning at it across the store), and that Katie should get to play with it...
Then during the week, she visited my work & Aaron's work (of course she was a hit!) Christmas Eve & Christmas day were family & friend filled days. Katie was spoiled by all the gifts that were given to her.
She of course had fun with the boxes
And she "helped" me wrap some gifts
She did learn to start giving kisses... and the fun of wrapping paper.
Most of all, she says "Hope you had a Merry Christmas!"
Since Katie's 8 month birthday falls in December, of course her 8 month pictures had to have a Christmasy feel. So I took some with her dress that she wore to see Santa & some in an adorable Santa outfit that we were given.
Today we took Katie to see Santa. There was a bit of a line, but Katie loved watching all the other kids and checking out the fake reindeer. Katie loves animals! Today, she crawled over underneath Aaron's deer mount & just stared up at him. So cute!
Anyway, when we got to Santa, Katie was fine with sitting in his lap. She was fine for a couple minutes until she couldn't find mommy or daddy & then, tears. We got a cute picture before she started crying, but I wish I had videoed the whole thing, it was so cute! And I wouldn't have minded having one of the crying pictures as well, becaus eshe had that upper lip stuck out so cute :)
Without further ado, heres the pic!
I've been meaning to post for a while, but my iPad app is broken. Get prepared for a lot of random pics & videos! (P.S. I finished this post once & then lost it all... I'm starting to think I'm being tested.)
First, some pictures from an Auntie (& Uncle) filled couple weeks!
Aunt Kas, Aunt Mary Lou & Uncle Kenny came to visit.
We started by going to breakfast at Craker Barrel, where Katie tried out the mini rocking chairs and stole the hearts of all the other people waiting on the porch.
Then, we went over to Cowtown, where Daddy put Katie in the Ergo - so cute!
Katie got her first professional haircut (you can even see her using her first cell phone during the cut!)
We went to the little gym, where Katie had a lot of fun
All and all, we had a good weekend.
The next weekend, Katie went to Aunt Kammie & Uncle Brian's house. She had fun playing with their dogs & wanted to know how Dawkin's tail would taste.
The dogs were very well behaved with Katie
At home, Katie has been getting faster & faster with her crawling. She's also started finding her reflection in a variety of things, like the stove. Usually, she starts laughing whenever she sees it.
Also, Daddy took Katie for her first fishing trip on Thanksgiving weekend. We had beautiful weather, but no fish decided to bite. It was an enjoyable trip anyway.
Well, that's about it for now. Hope you enjoyed it!
Katie turned 7 months old on Monday, so we have some new pictures to share and while we're sharing, we thought we'd throw in a couple videos :)
Katie was a little sick this weekend, but she's gotten better. That's good because Aunt Kas, Aunt Mary Lou & Uncle Kenny are all coming to visit! That should mean lots of pictures!
On Tuesday, Katie & I went into the city where Katie had her first job! A friend of mine works at a company that was studying baby products & they needed a baby under 1 year old to come demonstrate the products. Katie made more than Aaron & I on Tuesday!
After Katie's work, we went for a walk in the city & took some pictures on University of Penn's campus.
Then, when we got home a little later, we decided to take some pictures that reminded us of Fall. It was hard to keep Katie from eating the leaves!
Katie had been crawling up a storm & we thought you might like to see it
Last, but certainly not least, a hello from Katie... Or blaaaahhh
Just so you know, if you got an email & can't see the videos, click on the title of the blog "Katie's World" and it will take you to the actual blog so you can see the videos...
We haven't gotten around to taking the professional pictures yet, because I'm still working on making her Halloween costume. Soon though!
In the mean time, I got a new iPod touch so I can take more videos to share with you, so here's the first couple.
Katie loves the song "Barefoot, Bluejean Night" You can see her smiling as the song plays (we're not doing anything to make her smile, just playing the music.)
She just moved up to a little big girl tub & she loves being able to splash around in the tub.
We went to Starbucks & found out that Katie might have a future in advertising :-)
We got some good pictures today at home & on Tuesday we're going back to JC Penny for more professional pictures! Here's some of the ones we took today.
Katie's discovered raspberries & they are her favorite word right now :)
And here's a couple video clips from a normal day with Katie. You can see she's sitting up really well. She's started to sleep with her bottom in the air like you see in the first clip & later you'll see that toes are delicious!
Thought it would be fun to have a blog for Katie...

1st we'll start with some videos.
One from today - we went to The Little Gym. We had fun, Katie met some other babies, we practiced crawling & jumping & walking. Here's a video of her playing with a ball (I know, it's not fantastic, but she's cute...)
This one is a hilarious video of her laughing over me mixing up ziti...
