Daddy's girl

When I asked Noah if he wanted Kate to come and visit him at work, there was no hesitation. He even had just the thing for her to wear...a custom made onesie! I was so surprised and loved his creativity and thoughtfulness. He had it specially made for Kate at an embroidery store, too. It was the PERFECT thing for him to give to her~and I must say myself, she looked pretty darn cute in it! I think we should call 24 Hour Fitness corporate offices and say we have their next model. Here is Katelyn pictured at 7 weeks old.



Katelyn went to visit Noah at work and of course she wore her "workout clothes". It was so cute to watch Noah parade her around to his co-workers and show is daughter off. It was a "proud daddy" moment and it was so priceless for me to sit back and watch him interact with her and his employees and club members. She got to sit with him behind his desk, talk to the personal trainers (who were all fighting over who gets to be the first to train her), and even a few members wanted to "ooh and ahh" over her good looks and adorable outfit. Oh Miss Kate...you have NO idea how much your daddy loves you, girlfriend!!

(Don't you just LOVE their matching outfits?!?) The 2 loves of my life...AHHHHHH~life is good!

8 Weeks!

WOW...8 WEEKS ALREADY?!? Where has the time gone?!?


Katelyn is 8 weeks old! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Her new obsessions this past week or longer have been sucking on her hands like CRAZY! It is like the backs of her hands and her fingers are popsicle sticks and she just keeps licking away~this also leads to MUCH drooling as well. It's hard to get a picture of her these days without her hands in her face/mouth!

I have been walking a lot more with her in her stroller. It is so fun to get out again and feel like I'm getting somewhat of a workout in~and we've been walking with my friend Allison and her daughter Addison, who is 6 days younger than Kate. It is so nice to compare notes with another mother and daughter in the same phase of life as myself. And we have been walking rain/drizzle or shine~3 to 5 miles at a time. Kate LOVES her BOB stroller, thankfully. She gets lulled to sleep by the bumps in the road and the sounds of the street/nature and then every once in a while she will wake up to make sure she hasn't missed out on anything. Here is a rare picture of the sun in Katelyn's eyes...I say that because we haven't seen much sun around here the past month or so, but this last week was a rare occasion.


We have also started sitting her in her Bumbo seat since she is pretty much holding her head up by herself. She loves it~well, for about 10 minutes, and then she gets bored and wants to do something else. But for those 10 minutes, she is pretty darn proud of herself and enjoys cooing and flapping/waving her arms around. It's so cute! She will sit with Noah and I on the couch while we watch TV sometimes...this picture is priceless!

It's been a busy week, but a fun one none the less! Happy 8 weeks Katelyn Claire~what a pure joy and delight you have been to your daddy and I! ~xoxox
