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!

Happy Birthday Hannah!!!!

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

Another Mystery Gift

Here is another gift that we received with no name. This is so great. I have been looking for one of these. It is a baby seat for the grocery cart, and highchair when you are out. It straps in baby and also keeps them away from the germs on the cart and Restaurant highchair.

This came in the mail, again with no sender, except for the company. Am I ordering things in my sleep?

Whoever sent this wonderful gift, thank you so much. We appreciate your kindness. Just please let us know who it is so we can thank you in person.

Mystery Gift

I need some help her. We received this beautiful gift in the mail today, and I have no idea who it came from. It just had the company's name that sent it.

Can someone please let me know who sent this? I love it and want to Thank that person. It is a very soft bunny growth chart and pillow with Katy's name monogrammed. How thoughtful. I have already put the pillow in her crib and am going to hang the growth chart when she wakes from her nap.

Guess Who's Eating

Brigit reporting:

As alot of you know, Katy does not seem to like anything but formula and banana puffs. I have tried everything to get her to eat something else.

Today I tried a new tactic. I cut up chicken and carrot ravioli, put it in a bowl and put it in front of her. I hand fed her a few, and then left it up to her. It seemed to work.

It was quite messy, but at least she got some into her mouth before she dropped the bowl and Brandy ate the rest.

Here are a few pictures to show the momentous occasion:

Katy and her friend

Here are a few pictures of Katy and her friend.
There's another couple who live in our home town that also adopted at the same time.
We got together on Saturday for dinner and everyone got along great!

Notice they are both in their Red Sox attire!

Have a Great Day!

No Worries

Today our social worker came and gave us a big thumbs up!
Katy was her usual jovial self and the meeting couldn't have gone better.
After a long nap we paid a short visit to Nana Shea, followed by a visit to Dr. Mike for shots.
Katy was a trooper. She screamed a little but Mom calmed her down within minutes.

When we got back from Dr. Mike's office Pete, Heather, Hannah, and Emily invited us over so Katy could splash around in their kiddie pool. Katy was a little hesitant at first but finally got her feet wet.

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Take care everyone.

Wednesday night at the Outback........No Worries!

Katy was holding these coasters.....she loves coasters.

Mom and cousin Sam were helping her to keep them straight!
