Katie

I took Katie to the doctor Tuesday. She had been choking a lot and losing her breath. The doctor said she has reflux. Not fun but at least I know what is going on. We have to give her zantac twice a day and we added oatmeal to her bottles to thicken them up. Please pray that she will outgrow this. The medicine is not pleasant but she has been a trooper.

Easter Weekend!










We started getting ready for Easter on Thursday by coloring eggs. Saturday we went on an Easter egg hunt and Katie slept through the whole thing. Sunday morning we got up and went to a sunrise service, had a wonderful breakfast at church, went to visit mom and dad, and then went to Shannon's brothers house to spend time with family. Katie got to be with her cousins!!!! We had another big egg hunt that afternoon and what do you know, Katie slept through the whole thing. Sometimes I wish I could sleep that much. It was a good time to spend with family on such a happy day!

Last Day of Spring Break!






Well today Katie stayed home with Daddy today while I took Adam and mom to the zoo. It was the most perfect day to be outside. At the zoo I rode a train, carosel, and a CAMEL!!!! Katie had a good time with dad at home just resting. She was up late last night. Dad had a good experience though. He had to give Katie a bath by himself because she had a blowout if you know what I mean. LOL Katie has on her blue jeans and tennis shoes for the first time. Her feet look really big in the picture, but I promise they are not that big.

Family Time






Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted. We have been very busy! Thursday my brother and nephew drove in from St. Louis. While they were here we had a big cookout with my mom, dad, sister, and nephew. Friday we went to eat Mexican and celebrated my nephew Andrews birthday. Mike and Andrew left Saturday morning so Andrew could get back to study for his exams. Sunday Shannon went out of town so it was just Katie and myself again! Monday we packed up, picked up Mom and Adam and headed for the Space Center. When we were approaching the space center and saw the rocket in the distance, I thought Adam was going to jump out of the car. He was so excited. (A little background for those of you who don't know.) Adam loves anything about space and can probably tell you more than you would ever want to know about space. Anyway we had a good time. On the way home I asked Adam what his favorite part about the trip was and he said, "The Gift Shop". Go figure! Last night he and Nana came for a sleep over! We had a good time dying easter eggs and watching a movie. No one went to sleep until midnight. Katie is now down for a nap and adam is still asleep. Mom and I are getting to chit chat without any interuptions. We are looking forward to Shannon coming home this evening. Friday we are headed to the zoo for a camel ride!

Two Months Old!





Well my baby is two months old. We went to the doctor today and it was an experience. She weighs 11lbs and 6 oz and she is 22 inches long. She is very healthy. She is able to start drinking 5-6 oz of formula. At the end of the visit she had to have four shots. This was the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. She cried real tears for the first time. Mommy almost cried tears too. It hurt me to see her so upset. I know it is for her own good though. We don't have to go back until May for her 4 month checkup. Sunday we took her to church for the first time. Everyone thought she was so cute!!! She was good until right at the end. She told Brother John that his time was up! I am glad the weather is getting better so we can get her out into the world more. We also had some out of town company visit on Sunday. We went to eat Mexican and had a great time. Here are a few more pictures.

8 Weeks Today!






Today we celebrated 8 weeks by going to my school. We went to visit all of the teachers and my kids got to see her. They were so excited. She was so good. It was so great to see everyone. Makes me miss school, but not the work. I am adding pictures of the last week. Today Katie held one of her toys for so long. It was probably just an accident but of course I had to take a picture. I finally found a way to put a bow on her head. She is not thrilled but she lets it stay on for awhile. She has learned to wiggle her head around to push it off. Again probably just an accident but it is cute. I have also included some pictures of friends and family. Enjoy!

Sleep!

Yesterday Katie had a big day. We met Nana for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, went to get the oil changed, and get our tags renewed. We came home for a little bit then we went walking with my friend Scarlet. We walked about 2 miles and I pushed Katie in her stroller. After that we went to Pizza Hut. Katie was pooped! She slept last night from 10:30 until 7 this morning. I could not believe it. Each night she has been sleeping longer and longer. It was great. I have to get her out more often!

God is so Good!

Thank you for all of you who prayed for our family. My mom got out of the hospital Saturday and is feeling good. Nita had surgery Friday and they think they got most of the cancer. They will put some type of radiation into her head, and the doctors think that they will get it all then. She went home Sunday feeling pretty good. Katie had a busy weekend. She went to UAB to visit her aunt Nita, then mom, dad, and adam came over yesterday. We grilled steaks and had a wonderful dinner. It was a beautiful weekend. We are so blessed.
