She Did It!

I put Katie on her tummy today and when she started fussing, I DIDN'T PICK HER UP! And surprise to me... she rolled over! I tried again wondering if it was just by accicent and she rolled over 7 times! We stopped because it was time to feed her and I knew she was hungry. When Andy got home we tried again and she kept on rolling over. I didn't think she was even close to this, but I guess she's mastered rolling from tummy to back.

At the end of the video is a short clip of Katie playing with Andy's new iphone. He has a game on there where you touch the screen to pop the bubble wrap. She was popping bubble wrap until I turned the camera on. Then she wasn't touching the screen, but still cute, reaching for the phone.

Look at my Big Girl!

Every day when we get home from school I give Katie some tummy time to help her practice rolling over and we practice sitting up. She's nowhere close to rolling over. I'm sure because I never gave her tummy time much until the past couple of weeks. As soon as she would start getting fussy, I would pick her up. But she's getting pretty good at sitting up (with my help getting her balance 1st of coarse.)


She's growing so fast. Just thinking back to Christmas, only 2 months ago, she's doing SO much more now than she was then. It's amazing how much they change in just 1-2 months!

Pooped Out

We've had a super busy weekend so far. Last night Katie and I went to dinner with some family that had come to visit from out of town. It was about an hour drive there (in traffic) and about 45 minutes home. Katie was so alert the whole time. If there is anything going on, she wants to be awake and watching! It was so nice to hang out with family that I don't get to see enough as I would like.

By the time we got home it was about 9:30 and 10:00 before Katie finally fell asleep! Despite staying up so late, she still woke up at her usual 7:00 and stayed up to play for a little while. I put her down after about an hour to play with her favorite musical toy and she fell asleep while she was laying there with it. She was pooped out from staying up so late last night. :)

Happy Valentines Day

Today Katie got a new Valentine stuffed animal from her Memaw. She loves it.


Andy and I usually go out to eat for Valentines, but we plan to go tomorrow night so we can miss the big crowds and long wait. So tonight we stayed in and ordered pizza. Papa Johns had a Valentine special with a heart shaped pizza and some chocolate dessert things. I thought that was really cute.

Daddy and Bows

One of Katie's favorite things to do with Andy is to grab his gotee (sp?). She's fascinated with it. I keep telling him she's trying to pull it off to get rid of it. HaHa

She's got enough hair now that she can wear barretts straight in her hair and they stay in all day! I've had fun dressing her with little bows this week but she only had a few of them. Today I bought some more really cute ones. I can't wait to let her wear them.

Baby Dedication

Last weekend my nephew, Beck had his baby dedication at church. It was a great day with family. We all went to lunch afterward and had a great time.

She's getting close to sitting on her own. Not anywhere close to rolling over yet though. I think that's backwards. I think they typically roll over before they sit up but she HATES tummy time. So she doesn't spend much time on her tummy to learn to roll over. She LOVES to sit up though and watch everything going on. She's been like that since about 3 months.

Nice Weekend

We had a lot of fun this weekend. I finally had time to finish Katie's pillow I started making over the Christmas break. She loves it.
Katie and Bailey

Saturday the weather was great so we took Katie for a walk around the neighborhood. It was the 1st time we sat her up in her stroller without her carrier in it. She was awake and looking around for most of the walk, but by the time we got home she had fallen asleep with her new favorite toy (her rattle she got for Christmas) in her hand. The Tigger next to her is her other new favorite toy. They're both small enough for her to grab them and put in her mouth so she really likes those.
Tonight our Community Group got together to watch the Super Bowl. Katie had fun playing with her friends Caedmon and Audrey.
