Its official ... we have been parents for 3 months now and I think we are getting the hang of it! Miss Katherine has been through a lot in her first 3 months. We had our our 2 month check up and 1st round of shots in July. She took her shots like a big girl ... we were so proud of her! She now weighs 11 lbs 6 ozs and is 22.5 inches long ... putting her in the 64 and 55 percentiles respectively. Our next appointment is our well visit at 4 months.
Since we've brought her home shes been to several Gwinnett Braves games, several wedding/baby showers, and even a wedding. We've discovered that she loves being outside. This photo was taken at one of her last games of the season ... as you can see shes quite comfortable. We can't wait to introduce her to football season and tailgating!
We've gone over to Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan's to enjoy some good food and pool time. We got Katie her first swimsuit and put here in the pool for a few minutes ... she didn't enjoy it all that much. We'll have to wait until next summer when she'll be holding up her head. Her Auntie Em will be able to teach her to swim one day!
We made a weekend trip to Adel to visit Grand Sophie and Granddaddy. Katie hadn't seen them since she was a week old. We loved being able to get away for the weekend. It was her first trip out of town and she did well in the car ride .. a.k.a. she slept the whole way down. This is Katie and I before heading out to dinner.
Father's Day Eve was spent with Grandpa and Grandma Lash. We were in town for a wedding and decided to crash at their house afterwards. Ed was able to spend his first Father's Day morning with Katie and his Dad. It was a good morning .. here Katie is waking him up on Father's Day. Too cute!
For Father's Day Katie got him a 2009 calendar with photos of her all over it, a new golf club and fancy golfing shorts. Now hes really ready for a nice day in the sun ... maybe he'll get to get back out there soon!I was lucky enough to spend 8 weeks with this little one before turning her over to daycare. I went back to work on July 13 ... it was hard, but I kept telling myself that its best for her and she'll be ok. Every time we drop her off or pick her up shes happy as can be! After a long day at work, there is nothing better than getting a big smile from her when picking her up.
We recently had 3 month professional pictures taken and Miss Katie was wonderful! She was all giggles and smiles for the camera! We've received a few teasers from the photographer and I can't wait to see the rest! We will also have 6, 9 and 12 month photo shoots. Here are a few teasers from our photo session ...
