Happy 10 months!

Ok, so at this point, it's almost happy 11 months, but I still wanted to share the pictures & video.

This month was difficult, because she's just so active!  We ended up taking pictures 2 different days & 3 different times, so you'll see a couple outfit changes :-)   Then I added some video of Katie's animal sounds at the bottom of the post.

We started with our standard setup but, as you can see, she was moving quite a bit, which made it hard together a clear picture...

And I was working so hard to keep her "on set" and happy, that I didn't always keep the camera centered :)

We did catch her free standing :) this lasted

So far behind!

We have so much to share with you, since it's been almost 2 months since our last update.  I plan to publish 3 posts in the next week or so, but they will be from a while back.

This first post is about our trip up to NY at the end of January.  We had a great time and everyone seemed to enjoy seeing Katie.  Here's some pictures from the visit.

Happy 9 Months!

Katie is now 9 months old... Can you believe it!  With her favorite football team still in the playoffs, we decided to do a Giants themed photo shoot.

She's getting rather difficult to capture on camera :) I took upwards of 300 pictures (my camera was on continuous capture) to get these, and as you can see, they're still a bit blurry.  Maybe time to get a better camera, or perhaps start taking video!  She's crawling up a storm & starting to stand all over the place.  She's even starting balancing on her own for a few seconds here & there.

The phanatics tounge is quite yummy!

Merry Christmas to All!

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!"



New Videos - Hopefully

Sorry - I was told there was a problem with the videos... let's try again.


Also - we've gotten some great videos lately!
Aaron likes to play a game where he hits something into the air & Katie seems to like it as well!

This video is ala Uncle Dot - he got the same reaction from Maggie with this trick!

Katie has learned to turn the pages while we read to her. She loves to read her books.

Thanks for watching!

Happy 8 Months

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.

Katies 1st trip to see Santa

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!
