On the Go!

Boy have we been busy! Katelyn started crawling about a month ago and 2 weeks later started pulling up and standing every chance she could get. She is very independent but is always glancing back to make sure someone is watching her for approval. Katelyn had been playing with the walker at Nana's house and loved it so much, Brandon bought one for our house too ~ she loves it! She zips all over downstairs and loves to peek out the windows and watches Charlie when he's outside.

She has become obsessed with TV remotes! She likes to hit the buttons and watch them light up ~ not even noticing she's changing the channels, turning the volume up all the way, mute...so cute.

Katelyn has learned to clap her hands these past few weeks as well ~ Here she's clapping because I got so excited about her bow staying in her hair and smiled really big at her, and she started laughing and clapping! Then it was off to money jar we keep next to our dresser. She loves clapping on it and sticking her fingers in the top. Brandon tells her all the time it's her piggy bank, and I swear she knows it ~ look at that grin! She loves being outside and looking out of windows. From this view, she can spy on the neighbors and their cat. I've been lucky to get some things done around the house, and Katelyn is content to watch me fold laundry, play with her toys, then unfold everything I've done the second I get up. Patience....I'm learning to laugh more and be patient and that it's more important to catch "the little things" than keep the house spotless.


Brandon's doing great too! Working hard and being an awesome daddy! We had a great weekend and got to see our favorite band Widespread Panic Saturday night. Katelyn spent the night without us for the first time. Thanks so much Grammy and Grandpa! Hope everyone has a great week!

Love, Melissa
