Baby Carriers are Fun...

For photo ops. For practical purposes it's yet to be determined just how fun June thinks they really are. I think it's growing on her, though!

Can we please just stick with
the stroller from now on?
 Please?

Happy Spring!

It's been a while, but I haven't forgotten about this blog. Spring is in full gear and so is little June. She is growing up very fast! She's rolling over, eating solids, chewing on her toes, and pulling off her socks and sticking them in her mouth. Makes for a good picture (see below).

She is also making LOTS of noise these days. She loves the sound of her voice. She's super smiley and loves to make people laugh... She's blossoming into a lovely little thing, a little on the feisty side--but we wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope everyone is well!

Love
Katie

Socks are a tasty treat--who knew?

These lasted for a few seconds until she ripped
them off her head and threw them on the ground.

She loves her toes!

She loves being naked!

She loves her aquatic sea life!

Right after waking up from a nap.
She is the Chris Tucker of babies.

Obligatory Bathtime Photos

As you can see, she is all about fingers
in mouths these days.

Intense finger chew session in progress.

Shampooing is fun.

Stop taking my picture! I'm trying to bathe here!

Coast Trip Winter 2011

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to the coast. It was so much fun! Hope everyone is well!





Random shot that came out kinda cool.



It was a full moon the night before we left.



The weather was amazing for mid-February on the
Oregon Coast. It was downright balmy.



June was pretty excited for
her first trip to Newport.



It takes a lot to impress this girl.
This is what we call her "meh" face.

Ocean fun!

A good time was had by all.



Well Hello There!

Hey all. It's been a pretty busy month! My birthday came and went, and one of my presents was a mini-getaway at the coast in Waldport with the fam. It was so fun, weather was so nice, and the place we stayed at was great. I think June really enjoyed her first trip to the ocean. Even though she slept her way through her first visit to the beach, I think she got the general idea.

June has been changing a lot! Babies do that, I hear. She's so much more alert and in tune with her surroundings. She's turning into a happy yet tough little cookie.

Fun fact: Last year on this very day I found out I was pregnant with Miss June. What a difference a year makes!

I'll post more pictures later when I have a bit more time. Hope all is well wherever you are!

To The Tune of Old Man by Neil Young:

I forgot to mention that June really seems to love Neil Young. It has put her to sleep the past four nights in a row. And I mean "put her to sleep" in the best way possible. Anyhow, I made up a little song in order to help with the bottle challenge:

(As sung to June by the bottle)

::ahem::

Oh June, take a look at my bottle, I'm a lot like booooooob.

I need someone to nurse me the whole night throuuuuugh.

Happy February!

Hey all! Things around here are pretty nice. Nice weather, nice baby, nice nice nice. Gearing up to head back to work in a few weeks. Yet another transition to make! I hope it goes smoothly. As of right now we are dealing with some bottle issues (specifically: she hates it) so we have about three weeks to get her to love that surrogate milk provider. I have a feeling that's NEVER going to happen, but if worse comes to worse we'll just have to feed her like a little birdie. Fun times! I don't blame her though... There's nothing too natural about a bottle, so I wouldn't expect it to be something that comes very easily, if at all.

Anyhoo, here are some pics. June is getting distracted by just about everything these days. You can literally see the wheels turning in her head when she fixates on something. She's "talking" a lot. Loves the sound of her own voice. She's still a firecracker of a baby. But a sweet firecracker. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon! All in all it's been really fun watching her take everything in. Fun and funny and sweet.

Here are some more pictures, take care all!

Almost three months old...

Future couch potato? Let's hope not.

She hates Oprah, she's more of an Ellen girl.
