November Fun

We had a lot of fun in November. The weather was pretty amazing for most of the month. And of course Thanksgiving was so much fun hanging out with family and eating yummy food. 

Nap time! Jon sleeps with his hands above his head too! 

This picture makes me laugh so hard! haha This is her friend, Bryden. They are 9 weeks apart!

Dinner date with mommy and daddy.

Who do I look like...

Blowing bubbles.

She is so precious sleeping!

Growing and Exploring

Kate has gotten so big! I think she grows and learns something new everyday. We are getting into a good routine of sleeping, eating, and playing. Making funny faces, smiling, and dancing around are some of our favorite things to do. She is starting to talk which if she is anything like me will be another favorite thing! Here are some moments from the past weeks:

Kate found her hand and likes it a lot!

Just hanging out.

Happy to get out of the house.

Having lunch with friends.

Playing dress up.

Sweet smiles!

One Month

I can't believe that Kate is already a month old! She is growing so fast; she is now 7 pounds, 14 ounces and is 20 inches long! I'm amazed at how much love that I feel for this sweet little face. This was her first "photoshoot"; she liked getting her picture taken.  

Kate's Room

Kate's room turned out better than I expected; it is perfect for her! Jon and my step-dad put the board and batten up and painted (which I can say picking out wall colors is so hard! We had 7 samples on the wall but once we found "the one" it was perfect) I'm so glad I have very talented men in my life. 

The little details,

The Last Belly Shot

This was the morning of my c-section. We were so excited and nervous! 

We are all ready to go!

I loved having her in my belly but having her out is so much more amazing! 

My First Week

Kate's first week was a great one! We love being at home and are getting adjusted to our new life. This is how we spent our time.

Kate's Shower

I had such an amazing shower! I'm so blessed to have family and friends who spent the day with me celebrating this little girl!

Thank you so much Bethany for taking these beautiful pictures!

Thank you to Angie, Jeanette, Audrey, Bethany and Kristin for planning and hosting my shower! It wouldn't have been as beautiful and yummy without all of you!
