Video of Katelyn's Baby Dedication

Happy Birthday Melanie! We love you.

Happy Birthday honey! Katelyn and I are so blessed to have you in our life. You are an amazing wife and mother. We appreciate all the love, patience, and kindness you show us everyday. It is so much fun watching you bond with Katelyn and how see adores you. I am very proud of you and how well you have adjusted in your new role as a mother (the most important job in the world). We love you and thank God for you everyday!

Here are some of Katelyn's 7 month pictures.

8 MONTHS OLD!!

I love that toothless grin


Her new favorite thing: SWINGING IN THE BACKYARD!


Sitting pretty ready for church:)

At 8 months old Katelyn is:

• still nursing 5 times a day (getting solids 3 times a day). She loves to eat all veggies/fruits except for peas!!
• crawling everywhere! & getting into everything! & putting everything! in her mouth
• can wave goodbye ( it is so cute because she waves backwards and stares at her hand when she does it)
• loves patty cake and if you're happy and you know it (actually loves all songs!! especially when Mema sings them) My Mom knows all the words to songs,but I sing stuff to Katelyn and just make things up...
• looks for dropped objects off of her highchair
• loves music and books (especially with texture)
• can rake a small toy toward her and pick it up
• Momma's girl lately: we are dealing with separation anxiety BIG TIME!
• loves to be outside (swinging in the backyard/park, having a picnic in the backyard or going on walks in her stroller
• looks to people & pets when named (Me, Ryan, Bailey)
• attempts to gain our attention by vocalizing (aka screaming or coughing loudly)-SO FUNNY!
• reaches for objects and able to trasnfer items from one hand to another

WE LOVE & ADORE YOU BABY KATE! YOU ARE OUR SUNSHINE!

Mom & Dad

UPDATE ON BAILEY:

He is pretty much back to normal. He had his stitches out this week. He still has to wear his collar a couple more weeks, but it still makes me sad to look at him. He now looks like a bird dog Shih Tzu. Kind of strange right? But we love him and all his quirks. Thanks for continued prayers & support. We are thankful that he is alive and healthy. God is so good and faithful!!
