Six Weeks

It has been a VERY busy week! Sunday was Sarah Katherine's first stay in the nursery at church. All the ladies were itching to get her down there and squeeze her! :) She did super well and slept the whole time (through Sunday school AND church!). Let's hope she'll be just as sweet this weekend.

Monday we went and had lunch with some of my friends and then went up to my office to visit and finish her bottle. My friend Crystal had her camera and took some really cute pictures - Thanks Crys!

Then on Tuesday SK had her first outing to the zoo! Of course dumb mommy forgot the camera so we have zero pics. She didn't really take a whole lot in anyway, so maybe next time. After that I went in for my 6 week checkup and the doc said all was well. I was kind of hoping she would find something wrong so I could get some more sick time at work, but oh well!

Wednesday night we went down to Dothan so that we could get her baby pictures taken Thursday afternoon with a photographer friend of the family. Of course, she was super cute and smiley ALL day - except when we were at the studio! One highlight was when she was about 5 seconds away from pooping on her daddy's hand - it was HILARIOUS!!! The proofs should be online next week, so I'll add the link to the blog when he sends it to us.

While we were in Dothan my grandparents came to town to see the baby (and us, but mostly the baby). We also took Sarah Katherine over to meet her Grandmother Margie (David's step grandmother). Here are some pic's of her winning over her great-grandmom's!

And finally, I just have to show this off - I got some fun shoes for Sarah Katherine at this huge consignment sale here in town. Imagine that, me buying my daughter shoes!!!!

More Pic's

Here are a few more pictures of the girly.

Here she is with her cousins on our way to church this past weekend. Aren't they the cutest girls ever?! I have a feeling they are going to cause serious mischief together very soon. :)

These are some pictures my awesome friend Leigh took when she came to meet the baby. She actually caught something close to a smile!!! I LOVE IT!

One Month

I can't believe it, but little missy is now a month old! Where has the time gone?!?!?! We have been kind of busy, so I am behind in updating (sorry!). Things are still going pretty well. Sarah Katherine must have heard all the bragging on her for sleeping through the night and said "ha, ha!" because she has started waking up. Just one time a night, so it's really not that bad. We were spoiled for a while, so I'll just be appreciative for that. :)

She got to meet several people this week. First, my friend Emily and her son Joshua came to town. Joshua is just 4 weeks older than Sarah Katherine so Emily and I have some overlapping time off of work we took advantage of to get together. He's a Bama baby and SK is definitely and Auburn girl, so we had to get them gussied up in their gear for a pic!

This weekend David's sister and her family came to visit, so Sarah Katherine got to meet her aunt, uncle, and cousins! We had a great time visiting with them, and seeing their girls makes me SOO excited for Sarah Katherine to start chatting with me and doing fun, prissy girl things!

Also, big milestone - her umbilical stump FINALLY fell off. Here is a picture of her after bath time - she really likes bath time. If she's fussy it calms her right down, so you can be sure this girl definitely gets clean everyday! ;)

Three Weeks

Well, I can't believe it's been another week already!!! We went to the doctor this week for Sarah Katherine's check up and the doctor said all was looking good. She's up to 21 1/2" long and 7lbs 14 oz - the 90th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight! She's a tall skinny one.



We also had a big weekend last weekend, David's mom, sister, and her son came to visit. Sarah Katherine was so excited to see her Nanna and Aunt Nicole that she stayed away almost all day Saturday and was super cuddly. We took the two kiddos to a nursery in town that had some festive fall decorations out and took some pictures. Sarah Katherine was much less excited to take pic's than Luke - she slept or fussed most of the time, but I still think she's a cutie.

"Mommy why are you making me lay in pumpkins?!?!?!"
She's much happier lounging with squash.
Here is Sarah Katherine with her cousin Luke. They are about 3 months apart. We are excited because David's other sister Rachael will be having another new cousin in January. Three cousins within 7 months - big year for Nanna and Grandpa!

Sarah Katherine also made her first appearance at church. We sat with her in the balcony just in case any fussies happened, but she did SUPER. She slept most of the time, the only time she woke up was during prayer time. I guess it got too quiet for her - it also was time to eat though. :) It will be a little while before we send her to the nursery, but I am super excited about being able to get back to church.

Getting ready for church. She's wondering - what is Dad doing?! (It was his first time flying solo at bath time.)

All gussied up for church. We didn't try too hard to wake her up for pictures since we knew how nice it would be for her to snooze during church.
