Our Beach Babe!

We took Catherine to play at the beach for the first time. She loved it! We were in a harbor near Newport Beach, CA so the waves were very gentle and small. It was late afternoon and nice and warm, but the water was still pretty cold. Catherine loved playing with the sand and wading in the water. She liked the water so much she tried to sit down in it! Good thing I had extra clothes in the car. We'll have to take her when it's really warm this summer and bring he swimming suit. I can't wait, she'll have a blast!

All about hair!

Ever since she was born with tons of hair, Cate has had a bow in it. Now, at almost 8 months, I've been experimenting more. We've tried foam curlers, pig tails, pony tails, and hats this week. Super cute and she doesn't seem to mind any of it! Enjoy!

January, Catherine's 5th month!

Please give me a taste Auntie Carla?!
First tastes....yum!


She is very flexible!


Baby "Houdini" here mysteriously turned herself around in her crib one afternoon....
Catherine can sit all by herself now! Her balance isn't perfect, but it's getting better.


She LOVES to stand and play in this activity center!
We always read stories before bedtime.



This picture was just to cute not to post! :D

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from 2 crazy Hillbillies and their pet squirrel!

Finally some Fall weather!

Catherine laughed for the first time today! Let me just say I thought she was cute before, but nothing can compare to that beautiful little chuckle!!! She only did it 3 times, but we keep trying to get her to laugh again! Today it was actually cold! (Well chilly, not cold, but after 90 and 100 degree temps for 4 months it feels cold!) We bundled Catherine up and took her for a walk around the neighborhood, here are some pictures. :)

We also took Catherine to the county fair for Family Home Evening last week. Hanson was kicking off their newest tour by playing there so we went and listened while we ate dinner and walked around. We didn't dare get very close to the stage because it was really LOUD but I got a couple of pictures from far away. Catherine was smiling a lot while we were there, so I think it's safe to say she is a Hanson fan too! I knew she had good taste. :)
