Last Beach Day of the Year!

9-1-08

I'm pretty sure today was our last day at the beach! We had many fun days in the sand and sun with Kate this summer. We headed to Walden Pond for one last swim today. Looking forward to fall... ( it is my favorite season), but also sad to see our beach days come to an end. Next year our days at the beach should be interesting with two under two!
Kate not so sure about sitting in the water!

She prefers just to get her feet wet!







It's A Boy!!!

Today we had our big ultrasound... IT'S A BOY!!! Patrick Michael is due to arrive on January 25th 2009! He is measuring right on time, and looks FANTASTIC! Best of all he has a healthy heart! We are very happy as it completes our family. ( I was really hoping for a boy)

Today we headed to the Southwick Zoo. It was Katie's 1st time at the zoo. Mommy definitely had more fun then Katie : ) She enjoyed just being out and about. It was a beautiful zoo, and some place we will be visiting again.

Happy 8 Month Birthday Katie

8-20-2008

WOW!!! 8 Months! Where does the time go? In some ways it seems like Kate was just born, in others I can't remember what life was like without her.
I imagine pretty boring.
She contines to amaze us each and everyday and remind us how blessed we are to have her in our life. We went the cardiologist this week, and he is very pleased with how well Kate is doing. She is gaining weight and growing strong, developmentally she is right on track. As for her heart, its still "funky" but its working for her and for that we are all grateful.
What Kathryn is up to:
  • She is sitting up on her own
  • She rolls from one side to the other easily ( you never know where you are going to find her in the crib in the morning)
  • Kate enjoys eating finger foods, Ritz crackers, bread, french fries, cucumbers, and pizza crust
  • Katie loves to babble her favorite word is DaDaDaDa...( we are working on mamamama)
  • She Loves to play with her toes, often sticking them in her mouth!
  • She has shown a little of her temper!
  • She loves playing in her excersaucer.
  • We introduced the sippy cup, she thinks it a great new toy.
  • Katie loves going for walks.
  • Katie loves bath time, which reminds me its time to take new tubby pictures. She loves to splash mommy & daddy.
  • Katie is starting to enjoy playing with Shelby, he has also learned that she drops her crackers often.
We are just loving life and loving our little girl! I always wanted to be a mommy, I just never knew it would be this wonderful!

North End Feast

8-17-2008

Today we all headed in to the Boston's North End. We had a great day playing tourist. We are so lucky to live so close to such a great city. Kathryn played her 1st carnival game and was very lucky, she won a big prize, playing Pick a Duck! We had fun walking around, tasting the food and listening to the live Italian music.






1st Time with a Sippy Cup

8-13-2008

While Katie & I were at Babies R Us today we picked up a sippy cup. It's just about time to introduce it to her. ( I know can you believe it) We even found one in her colors!!! Pink & Green She didn't really know what to make of it.






A little video clip... she is just starting to get the hang of it!

A Day at The Beach

July 19 2008
Our favorite place to cool off is at the Arlington Res. It is a great little beach 15 mins from our house. There is lots of shade and a great little swimming hole there. Its where I spent my of my summer days as a child. Today we met my mom ( Nanny) there. It was Kate's 1st time there. She was a little unsure when we first went in...but then ended up having a great time.


I don't know about this....

What's so funny... Mommy's Maternity Bathing suit?!

Kathryn's 1st Visit to Kimballs Farm

July 12 2008

We headed to Kimballs Farm for a day of Mini Golf and Ice Cream with Chris. This was Kate's first (of many) visits to Kimballs. (Unless you count all the times we went while she was in my tummy!) We had a fun game of golf and then enjoyed the yummy ice cream. Kate even got to try just a bit of mommy's.
