Happy Easter and 6 months old!

Life is good! Miss Kate has a wild past 3 months since we last posted! Many "firsts" in her new little life!

January 2007

• Adventures at Daycare - With Mommy headed back to work, Kate now spends part of the week with her buddy, Samuel and his mom Jill, and Mondays/Fridays with Grandma Mary.
• Evicted from Mom & Dad's room... on her own in her crib!

February/March

• First Fundraiser! Celebrating philanthropy early, Kate joins Mom & Dad for her first official fundraiser to pitch the Children's HeartLink campaign... well at least while she was outside of the womb -- she helped with Mom's golf and tennis tourneys, as well as attending her first black tie gala while mom was 8 months pregnant.
• Sleeping through the night at 4 months
• Lots of birthday parties for family and friends.
• Enjoys the exersaucer, story-time, and studying her little fingers and hands. Favorite spot is to lay on the tables when Mom & Dad are out to eat.

April

• Happy Easter! Celebrated with Grandma Julie & Grandpa Bob, Joe & Lorna, Jill, Ben & Samuel. Watched her first egg hunt in a snow suit... 35degrees in MN!?!
• The highchair... finally a big girl and able to catch it all from her new perch!
• Gourmet meals... cereal, formula and water from the sippy cup
• Lots of chatting and singing, and LOVES watching herself in the mirror
• Peek-a-boo and "so big" are among our favorite games

Kate is growing so fast

Hi everyone!

Kate has had a very busy day. Today she did some of her favorite things. She had daycare part of the day with auntie Jill and got to play with her new friend Samuel. Then she got to go shoe shopping with her mom and then off to Children's HeartLink for a meeting regarding the 2007 Heartlinks golf event. She loves to keep busy and loves to sit up. When she got home she got to try sitting in her new Bumbo seat that her mom bought for her. Its very pretty she says (lime green). Here is some video of her sitting in her chair. She got to wrap up her evening by watching the office..she thinks Michael and Jan are desitined to be together.....

Well off to be now.....bye!

Love Kate, Beth and Mike

Kate patiently put up with her parents wanting to document her every move... enjoy our "chatty Kate" and "Kate and her mobile".

Merry First Christmas Catherine

This year we were so blessed with arrival of our sweet little Catherine Mary. She is growing so fast and is such a wonderful little girl. She loves to smile and cuddle and is very inquisitive as to what is going on around her.

Today Kate is just recovering from all her wonderful holiday journeys (and fighting off her first cold). Kate would like to thank each and every one of you for making her first Christmas so memorable (at least for mom and dad).

Kate was able to celebrate with everybody she loves so much. Here are some pictures of Kate around the holidays. Enjoy!

Love - Kate, Beth and Mike
