Halloween 2008

About a month ago, we were at Babies-R-Us getting Miss Kate a new car seat, for when she grows out of the one she is using now. Which will be soon. I was in another part of the store getting a baby shower present for a co-worker, and Doug comes up to me with the Halloween costume for Kate. He is so cute about things like that !

So, here is our newest black cat with our other black cat.

Look at me, all cute on the floor!

Meow, meow!

Last night, we carved the pumpkin. It was actually the first pumpkin that Doug had ever carved - a surprise to me. While he was carving, I prepared the seeds for roasting.

We got our template from www.yeswecarve.com . Yes, that's right, it's a Barack O'Latern.

Shoes

Kate is wearing her first pair of shoes in this picture. They were a gift from a couple of Kennedy co-workers who are fashion plates when it comes to shoes. Little kids look so cute in shoes, even if they don't really need them yet!

Reading and Sleeping

You just can't get enough pictures of sleeping babies . . . .
Or pictures of them reading with their daddies.

Roll Around Girl

If Kate isn't too tired, she just love to roll around, grabbing at toys. Occasionally, she'll do this magic trick where when I turn my head, she ends up 3 feet away from where I last saw her.

Early Vote

Grandparents visit

Sorry for the delay in blog entries. Last weekend, Mom and Dad came to visit. I could say they were here to see Doug and me (we DID play a lot of pinochle). But really, they were here to see Kate. Both got down on the floor to play with Little Miss Roll Around.
I love this bug outfit!

"Can I stick my fingers up your nose? How about grabbing your eyebrow?"

4 month stats

At Kate's 4 month appointment (officially 4 months, 1 week) she was adorable, as usual. Nurses and doctor agree! Even when she wailed after her shots, she was still a sweetheart.

17 pounds, 5 oz - 98th percentile

26.5 inches - 98th percentile.

Looking to be a tall one!

And I need to take more pictures - as she isn't really making the best smile in this picture.

Whale Noises

Kate's new trick is to make noises that I call "Whale Noises". You can catch a little of it in the middle of the video. Along with a good smile at the end.

Enjoy!

4-month self-portrait

Kate turned 4-months old yesterday, so we did a series of self-portraits. Take the best of each photo, and you'd have an amazing picture! Alas, if she would smile when the red-eye reduction grabs her attention.

4-month self-portrait

Kate turned 4-months yesterday. We took a series of self-portraits - combine the best from each picture, and it would be smashingly wonderful!
