Happy1 Year!!! (and Happy Easter)

So here it is... One year.  It's hard to believe that it's been a year that we've had our little girl, but it's also hard to remember life without her.  This weekend, we took our monthly pictures with her (Thanks to Danette, our photographer), we celebrated her birthday and we celebrated her 2nd Easter (her first 2nd holiday lol)

Here's some pictures from the weekend...

Looks like someone is going to be a real ham :-)

This one has already become a fan favorite

There's the phanatic once again...

Happy 11 Months!

Well, this is it, the last month we can count without a year in the front! This month we went to the park to take pictures, and it was a bit hard & I decided to take what I could get and save the big effort for 1 year! We still got a few good ones...

Katie was very interested in everything else going on in the park.

I think she's pretending to be a dancer!

Super Bowl aka Go Giants!

In case you didn't know... The Giants won the Super Bowl!  Katie was VERY excited...

You'll remember her NY Giants photo shoot....

So, of course, Katie and daddy had to dress up for the day.  P.s. that's Bubba next to Aaron.  He's Katie's favorite playmate :)

In this video Katie shows the Giant how to tackle the Patriots...

And here she imitates the Hunchback of Notre Dame while carrying her ballon everywhere...

This video doesn't have anything to do with the super bowl, but it is cute to watch her play with daddy's four wheeler

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!"
