Happy Halloween!

Isn't she the cutest flower you've ever seen?

Seven Months Old

We cannot believe she's seven months old today.

Little Tiger

Catherine and Jim getting ready for the Tiger's game. She seemed to like the game, but Jim and I both agree that she seems to like all the action of hockey a bit better.
We decided to make the downstairs as "Catherine proof" as possible, so the coffee table has been covered with an old comforter. So far, so good.
I'm not sure why these toys look better from the outside.
Just a cute shot.

Nap Time?

I guess my idea for nap time wasn't such a good one.

Ann, I bet you're sorry that you missed this shower! :-)

Nice trip

Catherine had a lot of "firsts" this weekend.
First time touching the ocean.
First time touching sand.
First time in the pool.
First time with noodles.
It all made her a little tired.

Going to Florida

We leave tomorrow for a couple days down to see Jim's parents. It should be a fun trip and the weather is supposed to be in the 80's. It will be Catherine's first plane ride (of course) and we're praying everything goes smoothly. -- You know, I think I was in high school before I was ever on a plane. But, I didn't have grandparents that lived out of state either.

She had her 6-month check-up this week. She's 27-1/4 inches long and 18pds 9ozs. -- That puts her in 90th percentile for length and 75 (or something) for weight. She doesn't seem that big, but when we're with other babies her age she does seem bigger.

I don't know if they check my site, but I often check their site, so good luck to Ann's cousin Jackie! I hope your delivery goes well.

The hat below is from Jim's friend from work. Isn't it great!

Six Months Old

Wow - It's amazing what 6-months can do to your lives; even more amazing is what infant development can happen in 6-months. We're happy that Catherine is moving along so quickly, but also wouldn't mind if she just sat still for a bit.



Okay, there are a couple more pictures like this, but doesn't she look a little like President Bush?
