Good Morning Baby Sister

Katelynn has learned how to climb into Abbie's crib. We didn't know that she could do it and then one morning, hello Katie and Abbie.

The cutest thing about it is that she doesn't do anything to hurt Abbie, she just sits there and talks to her.

Abigail seems to like her sister pretty well and tend to laugh when she plays rough with her.

Singing

It is so much fun to sit and listen to Katie singing different parts of songs throughout the day. This was the breakfast songs (hence the pretty hair=).
Abbie is growing up so fast and she is definitely a cute chunk, weighing 15 and 1/2 pounds at her last doctors visit. But next to my big head she is looking pretty small. I still can't decide who she looks like but I have had quite a few people tell me she looks just like me. What do you think?

Smile

This is Abbie who is wearing Aunt Jamie's flower, which is about as big as her head. We have been especially blessed by this sweet girl. She is so easy going and loves to laugh and smile all the time and sleeps so well (which I am especially grateful for).

Chillin'

Katie chillin' with with Daddy in the car.

Singin' in the Rain

This is Katie quite literally singing in the rain. This summer she has loved singing and dancing with Aunt Tia and so she knows parts of multiple songs from "Singin' in the Rain". So Grandma Barton brought Katie a "'brella" and when it rained she had to go out and dance.

Sisters

So these are the cutest girls. I was able to quickly catch a picture of Katie holding Abbie. Katelynn loves her sister but only wants to hold her for a few seconds and she normally does NOT want to take a picture with her. Hopefully this stage wears off and we can get some more cute sister pictures.

Moving

So I just had to put this out there. Yes, that is Katie in the cupboard under the TV. After I emptied it to move she just thought that it was the best place to be. Katie only had one issue when it came to the move. When Grandpa and Stacie started taking apart her bed she was very unhappy. Subsequently that was the first thing to be put together in the new house and once she saw her bed and books she was okay. Actually the next day when we had to finish moving and we pulled up to our "old" house she said "no, new house."

SORRY

Okay, so I have totally sucked at updating our blog, but I do have a few excuses. We moved, very quickly, over the 24th of July. (Thank you , thank you, thank you to those of you who helped especially family who were sore for a month and Dan Jensen, who is my new best friend, because he boxed up my whole kitchen!) Then once we were in our new home we didn't get working internet for almost a month. Yes it has been weeks since then, but I'm a busy mom and only can update during naps. So please forgive me for the lack of info. I will try to catch everyone up. First of all I am now on Facebook. After my 10 year class reunion, yikes, where everyone was asking why I wasn't on I decided to just jump in. I will update the rest of the past two months with some fun pictures of my cute girls. Thanks for the patience.
