Lydia Changes a Diaper

Read Jen's blog for the story. She's an observant kid, that's for sure!

Sleeping Princess

The pictures say it all. We love our little sleeping princess. She particularly loves to fall asleep in daddy's arms. Who can blame her?

Okay Sports fans

..A message from Josh...Having wasted over a month without getting any sports training in, I felt it necessary to purchase a size 0 soccer ball for Kate's development as an athlete. Here are two pictures of our in-house training session which consisted of keeper drills and dribbling skills. While Kate thoroughly enjoyed our first practice together, she informed me that she thinks the real money is in golf...I guess that means the golf membership for Kate and Dad is just around the corner.

Baptismal Heritage

Sixty plus years ago, Grandma Inez Bailey baptised her first son, David. She bought a gorgeous gown that was then used by each of her three sons and their children. Kate was a part of the proud third generation to use this precious gown at her baptism. We added our own touch by using the hand crocheted coat and bonnet to keep her warm. Thanks Kelley! The whole outfit was a real hit. And, we managed to make it through the event without anything horrible happening to the heirloom dress (like a blowout!).

We had a dress rehearsal the morning before church.

The happy family before church started. We asked Mike to record the baptism so that Kate can hear it one day.

Another cute sleeping picture. She mostly sleeps on her back. I occasionally put her on her belly, but she does NOT prefer it. This is mostly because she also likes to be swaddled when she's sleeping. And, swaddling and sleeping on the belly do NOT go hand in hand. How would you like to be in a straight jacket and then placed in that position? For that matter, who wants to be in a straight jacket, I guess.

Kate enjoys her swing quite a bit. The cute little stuffed animal is a wee little lamb puppet given to her by Nan.

Amazing Baby!

We just got back from our 1 mo. well checkup. Kate now weighs 7 pounds 13 ounces and is 20 1/2 inches long. For those who need to remember, that's up from 5 lb 14 oz, 18 1/2 in. She has really caught up! Her percentiles jumped from below 5% to 25% and 50%. I'm so proud of her!

My One Month Shopping Spree

To my fans
From Kate

Mom celebrated my one month birthday by buying the cutest clothes ever. She finally found a store that carries trendy clothes in my size. It's hard to find clothes for girls as petite as I am. I got a pair of jeans and some overalls. On Thursday, my whole family came over for dinner and it was so fun. It's great to hang out with Mima and Papa and Grandma and my Aunties & Uncles. My favorite person to be around is my cousin Lydia. She loves to look at me and give me loves and head rubs.

Enjoy some pictures of the last week or so. Mom and Dad sometimes go crazy with their digital camera. Sheesh! I know I'm cute, but COME ON!

These overalls are THE cutest!

Lydia loves to play with all of my toys. Grandma helped her make a huge necklace out of my linkadoo letters.

I know it's sorta blurry, but mom and dad finally caught one of my brief smiles, so here it is.

What can I say! I'm adorable!
