Getting ready for Christmas! 12/18
December 14th Christening
Helping Mommy decorate the tree
Matt's 22nd Birthday 11/14
Weekend in the mountains before ThanksgivingHey everybody, it's good to be back! We are busy getting ready for Christmas as I know everyone is! Katelyn loves all the decorations and lights and seems to grow right before our eyes. She stands all by herself now, but is too shy to take that first step ~ besides, crawling is faster! She is very independent, and at 10 months, already likes to do everything herself without help from anyone (especially mommy) until the peak of frustration has been met. I've heard this is a girl thing, so I'm just going with the flow...it's fun to watch her figure things out.
Wrapping presents has taken on a whole new challenge though. She loves playing with the paper and bows and ribbon which is great, but she only wants the ones I'm trying to use, and when I hand them over, she tries to imitate me and use them on the present I'm trying to wrap...and she doesn't like me to touch it when she's doing her thing...so it basically just turns into playtime, and the presents get wrapped after Katelyn goes to bed!! Really when I think about it, nothing gets accomplished around the house until Katelyn goes to bed!
Looks like she's keeping her blue eyes, and her hair is getting much thicker and longer this month ~ fun with bows since they stay in now! She's working on getting her two upper front teeth, but the teething doesn't seem to bother her as much as last time thank goodness.
Katelyn got christened last Sunday at our home church here in Smyrna. She did wonderful! She was so cute playing in the water and loved getting held in front of the entire congregation and getting serenaded with "Jesus Loves Me". Thanks to all our family and friends for coming out and making it such a memorable and special day!! Here are some pictures from the last several weeks to get everyone caught up. Love to all!
