Katie turned 1 month old yesterday and holy cow it has gone so quick. It's not our favorite baby stage but I'm sad to think she could be our last baby in the house so I try not to get to worked up over sleepless nights.
This past week she has been showing a lil more personality. It is so cute because she will move her head towards Dennys or my voice. A couple of nights ago when Dennys came home from work she was laying in my lap and when she saw him she gave a little smile and started to coe. It is so fun to hear her sweet litle voice. She is getting cuter everyday. She is amazingly strong. At just 2 weeks she started turning from her tummy to her back( I think the Dr. thought we were crazy when we old him she was rolling already). And she now holds her neck up and pushes up with both arms like she is doing a push up. Taylor was pretty early crawling right at 6 months but I have a feeling Katie might show her up. We are so happy to have Katie in our family and are looking forward to her forming her own personality.

SHOPLIFTING
Katie is 4 weeks this week and I still feel like I'm in survival mode. I have been feeling so guilty having Taylor locked up in the house for the the last month. Her and I were always on the go before baby Katie and both of us seem to be going stir crazy. So, I made it a point to get her signed up in a swim and gym class and also signed up myself for a MOMS Bible study group.
So, today was our first MOMS group. I was feeling confident being out by myself with both girls and decided to go to mall after moms group. I had Katie in the stroller and Taylor walking next to me. She was being such a good listener and seemed to be enjoying being out of the house. We had gone to a couple stores and then found ourselves in baby section in Dillard's. We decided to head back to other side of mall where we started. Right when we get into original destination (JCP) I looked at the front of the stroller and we had a big green piggy bank on board with us. Yes, Taylor must have decided she needed another bank for her shelf at home:-0! Just as I realized we had to return back to Dillard's the baby started screaming. I then went from a confident mom who feels like ok I can handle this went back to thinking what in the world am I doing out with a 4 week old and a toddler. I quickly convinced myself I would be on the evening news as a miss fit mother who steals little green polka dot piggy banks! I could see myself crossing the line back into Dillard's and buzzers going off and me being hauled away heehee.
Ok well maybe that is a little dramatic but anything is possible when you have Miss Taylor with you. She keeps me on my toes everyday and never fails to make me smile. Needless to say I walked right back in store and the buzzers did not go off and I returned the lil piggy back to it's home. And yes we are now home for the rest of the day.

It's A GIRL!!!!!
Just a quick update for now. But wanted to share the arrival of our new baby girl. We named her Katie Elizabeth! She weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 20.5 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair. She is super precious and can't wait for her personality to come out. Big sister Taylor adores baby Katie. Everytime she leaves the house she makes sure she gives Katie kissess and tells her she loves her. She loves to give her soooo much love. We are so thankful for our beautiful girls!
