More about Kate

*Disclaimer- I know it's been forever since I last posted, but these pictures are all out of order and I don't know how to do it without it taking forever so this will have to good enough for now. Later I will put them in order and add captions!







































































































Kate is the best little baby. She has been a good sleeper since day 1. At four weeks she is sleeping around 6 to 7 hours at night; such a difference from Abby who was up every 2 to 3. I know it can change anytime, but I definitely am thankful for it right now! She also is a great eater. She has never had any problems with nursing which is another blessing. She has been spitting up a lot and I've worried about it being acid reflux, but the doctor said as long as she is gaining weight that it she will be ok. Kate also looks a lot like me! My baby picture is very similar to how she looks. She has lots of dark hair, bluish-gray eyes (for now), and has long fingers and toes. At her two-week check she weighed 7lbs 8 oz. and was 21 in. long. We are so grateful for her and for all our friends and family who have done so much for us in the last few weeks!

"Daddy baseball"

Abby got a baseball glove from Michael and Lindsay for her birthday and she loves playing catch with Brandon. Whenever she sees him watching a baseball game she says, "Daddy baseball."

Abby Turns 2!

We celebrated Abby's birthday the Monday before this year since it was Pioneer Day and Brandon had the day off. We took her swimming at the Scera Pool in the afternoon and had the family over for pizza and cake in the evening. On her actual birthday we took her to Jamba Juice for breakfast because she loves their smoothies, then we got her a Happy Meal for lunch. We basically just stayed in the house and played with her toys most of the day because it's getting hard for me to chase after her when we go places. We Skyped with Jim and Cindy and Britney in the evening while she opened their gifts to her and finally we went to Pizza Factory where Ashley works for dessert!


Monday night before the family came over


Opening her presents







Abby isn't a big cake fan so I made her an ice cream cake, but she only ate the icing and left the rest of it on her plate...Next year I'll have to give her just ice cream.

She woke up so happy on her birthday and was like this most of the day...she must have known!

This is what she does when you say, "Big smiles Abby!"



There was a thunderstorm that hit us right as we were getting out of the car so we were soaking wet!
