GO SOX!

Congratulations Red Sox on winning the American League East AND finishing with the best record in all of baseball. It's now time to Kick some Angel butt!

My Most Favorite Gift...

Dave's cousin is a photographer. She took pictures of Katy and is going to give us a set of the photos for a gift. She made these two collages of Katy and sent them to me. As you can see I am having a hard time picking them.

Can't Believe It's Been Over Two Months.....

We have been home over two months and I can't believe how much life has changed. Katy is so much fun, and is learning something new everyday. Some of her accomplishments:

* She is crawling all over the place. No more belly crawls, actual crawling
* She is pulling herself up on everything. She is definitly getting ready to walk
* She waves at everyone and even says "Hi"
* She is down to 2 bottles a day, from the 5 she would have when we were in China
* She is eating babyfood, and some "real" food

I can't wait to see what the next few months are going to bring. I also can't wait to see her in her Halloween costume.

Here are a few pictures in her ballerina dress from her Aunty Cori.

Happy Birthday Gemma !!!!

I want to wish my China Sister a big Happy Birthday.

I can't wait to come over and have dinner and eat more delicious cake.

Love, Katy

Katy over the last week

Here's a few shots taken over the last week or so.
She is now pulling herself up and standing......with the help of what she's holding on to.
Every day brings something new. It's amazing how she's developing!

Dad told me never to brag about the Sox but this AL East race is getting boring.

GO SOX!

Happy Birthday Katy!

Thanks to everyone for celebrating Katy's first Birthday with us and for all the wonderful gifts! Katy had a great time with all of her cousins and friends.
A little too much cake however as the sugar rush made for a rough night's sleep.
Here are some pictures of the Big Day!

Mom's masterpiece......soon to be destroyed.

Hi Everyone!

Here's a few black and white pictures of Katy.
She had another doctor's appointment today and all is great.
She gained a couple of pounds and grew one inch!
She is starting to crawl.....we are scared.

Happy Labor Day everybody!

I want to wish my China friend a very wonderful birthday.

I hope you have lots of fun with your mommy and daddy. I hope you enjoy your first birthday cake and get lots of wonderful presents.

We have come a long way in the past couple of months and I am excited to see you again soon.

Love your friend,
Katy

Playing with Food

I know you have seen these pictures before, but I am trying out this new thing called Photobucket. It allows you to make slide shows and post videos.

These pictures were taken in July. This was the first time I fed Katy "real" food. As you can see, she needs to work on her manners.

This is the first time I saw Katy!

Walking through the terminal......last one's off the plane.

Playing in the sand.

Thanks to Pete, Heather, Hannah, and Emily for the sandbox!

Dinner at our friend Tracy's house.

Katy and Nana.

Take care everyone.

Our 1 Month Anniversery

Today marks 1 month since I have known our beautiful child. I can't believe how fast this month has flown. I can't believe how much she has changed in the last month.

When I first met Katy, she was so little, she wouldn't smile. She cried for the whole day. I didn't know what to feed her, how to make formula, how to change her diaper, what size clothes she wore.

Today, she is thriving. She smiles and laughs all the time. She is learning alot. Everyday she does something new. In 4 short weeks she can roll over, sit by herself, wave bye bye. She is eating solid food, standing strongly on her two feet, (with our help), almost saying MaMa and DaDa and playing,

This has been the best month of my whole life. I already can't remember a time without her.

Happy 1 Month Anniversery, Sweetie.

Love Mommy
