Grammy and Grampa visit

Grammy and Grampa came over to visit and Grammy got to feed Katelyn her rice cereal. It was sad though because Katelyn is getting her teeth, she was feeling pitiful. She fussed through dinner. She took a bite then put her teether in her mouth and swapped between bites and teether most of the meal. She played a little in her bath, but not much. She perked up when we started getting her jammies on. She is in 9 month jammies by the way. She has been feeling bad with these teeth coming in. I just feel so sorry for her. She doesn't fuss much though. Every now and then I can tell they are really bothering her. The picture with Ken might be one of the few she's not smiling in!

War Eagle!

If "Cuteness of Fans" was a category for scoring points in football, Auburn would have been locked in this weekend! Thanks for the CUTE outfit, Nana!

Fun at Nana and Granddaddy's

Eating rice cereal

I really would have liked her to be a little more excited about getting rice cereal. She gave me some funny looks and spit most of it out, but it was fun. She had one look that was the best. It was a confused smile, like she knew it was supposed to be something good because mommy was smiling, but she just wasn't quite sure. We tried to get it, but I don't think we got a good one. She is growing up so fast!!!!

Aunt Catey & Lonna Grace

Things are going great with Catey keeping Katelyn. She gets to be with Lonna Grace all day and I know that Katelyn is with someone who loves her. I know that she is not lying in some crib all day crying. This is the scene I came home to the other day. She's so big sitting with her Aunt Catey!

I found this picture on my camera. Katelyn has to love playing with Catey and Lonna Grace all day. I know they love it. She is always so happy when I come home and that is really a blessing!

I want teeth like daddy's!

Barnyard Dance

Thanks Bibi for the book! It's a favorite!

First ER trip

Katelyn had her first trip to the ER last Monday evening. It was a nightmare. She did not even need to go. We just wanted to take her to the after hours clinic because she was wheezing. Apparently, saying anything about breathing gets you a ticket straight to the ER. We waited for two hours before they even got her vitals. It was miserable. She was definitely in more danger of contracting some illness than from any breathing issues. When they took her O2 level and it was fine, we bailed. They were going to make us wait even longer for a bed! She slept in our room that night, and I took her the next day to the doctor. Turns out she is a big faker and mommy needs to learn to use that nose sucker! Since we were at a family function earlier in the evening, I had my camera. As you can see from the pictures, she was REAL sick! She slept pretty much the whole time.

Our Big Girl!

Katelyn went for her 4 month check up on Thursday. She was 16 1/2 lbs and 26 1/2 in. She is growing like a weed! She is off the charts on height and weight. Her head is on the chart, but barely! Doc also said she should be getting some teeth soon. It's a good thing because she has been eyeing our pork chops! He said she is ready for food, but I am not sure yet.
I went back to school a couple of weeks ago. (That's why I am slacking with posts.) Katelyn was supposed to go to daycare, but my sister and I were able to work it out where she could come to my house and keep Katelyn. It worked out for both of us and I am so happy! It has made going back to work so much easier! She is so happy when I get home (she probably would have been happy at daycare as well, but keeping her in her home right now is so great!). She eats in the morning and I can put her back in bed. I don't have to get her out during her morning nap. It is just a blessing all around!
She has been fussing tonight - maybe from her shots on Thursday, maybe not - and I went up to comfort her. I am still not good at letting her cry it out. Maybe I never will be, who knows, but I was so grateful for this moment. The minute I picked her up, she laid her head on my shoulder and seconds later she was asleep. I sat and rocked her for a few minutes. I thought about how safe I am to her and comforting. To her Brent and I are everything. We provide her with everything. Whatever was wrong this evening, just being in my arms fixed it. It was an awesome feeling. It kind of scared me too, because I also realized that I have to power to screw this kid up royally!! Pray for me-no pray for her!!
