What You've Been Doing

Dear Kate,

Things have been a little crazy around here lately. Don't worry, you are still perfect as ever, but we have had a lot going on and that just makes your momma a little slow at updating your blog! But, now is better than never right?

Like I said, lots of things happening. A couple weekends ago, we went to Ryan's 3rd birthday party. Here are you and your Sis before the party...

Yes, she still loves the mess out of you. And I didn't take any during the party shots of you because you slept the whole time! Actually, I think I did feed you at some point, but bottom line, you were an angel.

You've also done lots of appointments and errands with Mommy. You went with me to get my hair done - a 3 hour process, to which you slept the ENTIRE time. Miss Lori (the hair person) was super impressed, and thought you were just beautiful. You went with me to the eye doctor, to which you slept the entire time, and we even went to my doctor! You actually had your eyes open for her, which was nice of you, since she did deliver you and all :)

With all those errands, we have spared a few minutes to have some fun on your play mat...

And you and your sister have 'napped' together.

Well, it was one time. And it was at 4 in the afternoon after I had begged and begged for her to sit still and rest. But we take what we get these days :)

We've made many of trips to Walmart and Target, and you've helped me pack (by being a great sleeper!).

You've had a bath or two, and still loving them like crazy!

And just some Mommy time, smiling away at me...

Last weekend you got to meet Nona for the first time!! Nona is Ellie's 'mimi' but she's your Nona, too! She was so happy to meet you and wanted to do nothing but hold you! She even gave up eating her Mexican on Friday night to hold you while the rest of us ate! And on Saturday we went to Uncle Jaybee's to watch the football game and, again, Nona couldn't get her hands off you! She's so ready for baby Christopher to make his appearance!!

And as usual, you sister loved on you, too..

And Ellie, too!!!!
That might just about catch us up, other than the parties we had for you (see next post!). Right now, you are staying with Mimi. That's right, your first trip away without Mommy!!! It feels a little weird, but I know you are doing okay with Mimi. Well, I say that... I got this picture this morning...
Yes, that's Mimi's cat in the bed with you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a small fit, and Mimi assured me she got Punky out of the bed. Apparently he wasn't too happy about it though. Oh those cats!!!!!

Anyway, from what Mimi says, you are doing great. Not fussy one bit. She does say that you aren't sleeping as much during the day as you had been - or, well, sleeping only when you are in her arms. I think Mimi just likes an excuse to sit down and hold you :)

I'll see you Tuesday!! Miss you like crazy and ready for your first Thanksgiving!!!!! Love you!!
