Our Pumpkin Picks A Pumpkin

Last week in preparation for Halloween, Katie and I took a trip to the pumpkin patch with Aunt Katherine and Cousin Claire. The weather was closer to summer than fall, but we all enjoyed ourselves. By enjoyed ourselves I mean Katie was indifferent, Claire had a blast, and Katherine and I spent more time trying to position a 2 year-old and an infant for pictures than we did actually picking out the pumpkins! :-) Below are a few pictures from our adventure.

Here's Katie in the car seat just before we left the house. This little grin says - I think we are getting ready to do something fun. Am I right mommy??

We found a goard shaped like a Boppy Pillow and used it to prop Katie up for this one. I have to say Thank You to Katherine because this Halloween outfit is a hand-me-down from Claire. We even went back to Rob and Kat's house and looked at pictures of little Claire in the outfit from 2 years ago! :-)

About the picture below, Katie says thank goodness mommy got her hair cut and her roots done 2 days after this picture was taken...she looks kind of rough....maybe I should let her sleep a little more at night. Mommy agrees!!!Aunt Kat, Cousin Claire, and my little chunk Katie!

Helmet Head

As part of Katie's post-op care she will be wearing a helmet for the next 9 to 10 months. A little over a week ago, Katie got her first helmet. The first few days were tough, but she is finally adjusting.

The helmet makes Katie's chubby cheeks look even chubbier because they are smushed together. We titled this picture Lips and Cheeks! :-)

Katie likes to stare, coo, and smile at the animals in her bouncer. In fact, that's the only way that her mommy and daddy get ANYTHING done around the house when she's awake! :-)

The two pictures below were taken during Katie's helmet free time. She is allowed 1 hour each day helmet free. One picture is from tummy time....one is in her bedtime outfit and hat.

2 Months!!!

Katie is officially 2 months old! Our little girl has grown so much in just 2 short months. She's smiling and cooing and changing daily. Below are a few recent pictures of her to keep you all updated.
