Five Month Pictures

Katie's cousin Jamie is in town for a couple of days. We decided to get their picture taken together (since they do not see eachother often). Our next appointment will be in December for Family Christmas pictures.
 
 
 
  

First Word?????

 

So Adam was changing Katie's diaper yesterday morning and telling her that her diaper was icky stinky and yucky.

Her reply? "DA!"

So that means she was trying to say "Daddy" or she was agreeing with him about her icky stinky diaper in Russian. 

New Job

Tomorrow I will be letting my office know that I have accepted a new job. Everyone has kind of known that this was going to happen. Some are surpised that I lasted this long. I have decided to be a full time Mom.

For a long as I can remember I have always wanted kids. I have spoiled everyone elses kids and longed to be able to have someone call me Mom. On June 6 I got that wish.

Today after leaving Katie at daycare I was thinking about how much time I spend with her. It was not enough time. I felt like a weekend Mom. Yes I know that she is getting attention. Yes I know that it is good for her to be social. But she is now starting her "Firsts" and I don't want to miss that.

I have talked to the girls at work and they support me on this decision. They will miss me but as Grandma Velma said to me today "Life is short. Watch your kid grow up" I will be hard leaving them but I know that this is the right decision for me.

Four Month Checkup

So Katie had her Dr appointment today. Everything seems to be fine. She weighs 13 pounds 7 oz and is 24 and a half inches long. She can now offically start eating cerial and gradually start on food....this is going to get messy. She got four shots (again) and she was NOT HAPPY (again). After that we went over to the office where she fell asleep. Her next appointment is on Dec 13 at 3:45. Next time she will be going to the office to visit the girls will be Halloween. I'm taking a day off to bring her back to the office and then to Adam's office.

Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing... how embarrassing.

  

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

  

Katie's Morning Greeting

This is how the kid wakes us up....I swear she is an alien. (I know I know we are lucky that she is not crying)
