And a Big Thank You Goes Out To...

As many of you who read our blog (um, maybe two of you) may have noticed we have recieved some comments from some obscence bloggers, so as in the best intrest of making our blog family friendly our greatest friend Brad F, has fixed our little issue and now we should not be seeing any of those pesky comments. Also if you are an anonymous poster you can now post on our blog...so yippee and thank you to Brad.

Today is Chloe's three month Birthday, and in her honor we have agreed to letting her tell you about her life as of today. She is incredibly smart, ut not yet able to type because her head is still to wobbly, so she will dictate and I will type. " I enjoy my baths everyday and laugh and talk during the entire thing. I think it is fun to toot in my water and do it most regularly. I have found that between the hours of 7 and 9 o'clock at night I enjoy to watch television, so I make mom hold me straight up at the risk of falling asleep and missing my shows. She tries to lean me back but I just wont have it. I am enjoying cereal everynight before bed and eat it so fast that I cant even keep my eyes open when I am done. My firend Ethan came to visit me last night and him and I are going to the costume carnival at church, I will be a yellow daisy and he will be a cow. We have fun together, but he is bigger than me and can sit up and that makes me a little mad that I just have to stare at him all big. Mom thinks I am funny when I talk to my little birdie in the morning and it makes her sad that I talk to it more than her, but really I like her more. The other night mom left me with dad for about an hour and a half, I thought it was real funny to scream the whole time so that mommy had to race home, as soon as she walked in the door and took me from daddy, i started smiling and fell asleep. Dad didnt think it was to funny. Nothing else is really that eventful, I enjoy the mall and walks around the block, I am smiley and very cute and I love my room and bed, my mommy did a very good job in there."

Well that is all she has to say for now, she will post at another time. Until then we are taking good care of her and she is fat and happy. She misses her cousins, Aunt Amy and mimi and pop very much.

Sick Baby Blues

Little precious has a cough. It isnt to bad and she saw the doctor today, who said it was allergy related in the air and she had nothing in her lungs, throat or ears so that is good news. i just hate to hear her cough it is so sad. People asked...where do you think she got it...gee I dont know from being alive and out in public. That question kind of erks me. You want to protect them from everything but somethings you just cant, it isnt like I went to the hospital and rubbed her all over some sick person, she just caught it. Anyways, pretty laid back weekend, I only have laundry for about a year. Ugh! I hate laundry. We have been trying to sell our washer and dryer because I need and want a larger capacity with the energy star but I am having no luck selling it. I am about to give up! It was perfect for me when I was in college and newly married but now with towels and sheets and clothes for three and everything else, i feel like I do about a billion loads to get everything washed. Well this blog is obviously about nothing important just a way to ramble the day away. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Still a Work in Progress

I have decided...after much thought...I am still a work in progress. There are days when I love myself and then there are those days when I just think ...Katie what is with you! I constantly fight myself to find contentment in my life. That is how I always have been. I am sure that is how I will always be. But I must forge on and work on my contentment issues. I can say that this is why my job is perfect for me...it is forever changing. Everything that I do changes from day to day and I love that. I love it that each day is different...each day is new. I guess that is why my husband and I are perfect for each other. He would be content doing the same thing, the same way everyday for the rest of his life, and I on the other hand would love if things were different everyday for the rest of my life...with the exception of my bed...I love my bed! OK that was random, but I do love my bed! But I guess we push and pull each other when we need to. That is a good thing to. I need to be pushed to stay still and enjoy my life just the way it is. And he needs to be pulled so that we dont get in a rut. So I guess God is still working on me. There is a long list of things I need to work on and things I want to do, and I am sure that I will die working on that list. I guess it is ok as long as I die trying.

A quick baby update. She is eating more and more. She is going to eat us out of house and home. I love watching her little face get fatter and fatter and now that she is smiling and talking it is so much fun to watch her as she communicates with some of her toys. You should have heard her talk to her daddy last night. It was probably the sweetest wordless conversation I have ever heard. She did get mad at him though when he took to long getting the bottle to her mouth. She is quite opionated when it comes to food. What a sweet baby she is. So the next one will be born with a horn and tail right?

Is it Friday Yet?

Wow what a crazy...but great...week at work. I like it when I am super busy because it makes the days go by faster, but it makes me exhausted by the end of the week. Our service manager told me that I had more energy than anyone he has ever seen. :) I dont know what he is talking about. I could lay under my desk and take a nap right now. Chloe slept through the night last night and got up at 5:30. That was perfect timing except we still have to drag our butts out of bed like zombies.
We are having our pictures taken on Saturday. I am excited to have some fresh pictures of J and I too, we havent had a picture taken since our wedding. I also am having some taken with just chloe and I. I hope they turn out good! I am NOT photogenic. We shall see. I always hate the way I look in pictures.
I have decided that I buy my child way to many clothes. I have also decided that I am OCD. I will buy like ten of something so that I dont run out (like baby wash) and when there are like 5 left I feel like I already need to go get more. I mean seriously there not all going to accidentally spill in the tub. I just have issues. I do the same with formula, which is why we have like a bizillion cans in our pantry. Its ok...I will always be prepared, even if I am a little crazy! I also decided that I like change to much...moving furniture, changing bedding, rearranging things...I am crazy!
My boss leaves for Scotland on Saturday to play at the oldest golf course in the world. I had to tease him a little about that. If you love golf that much it is just funny to me, because I hate it so much! Well not much exciting. I am about to tie up some loose ends here and then head home to make a big pot of stew! It is cold cold here...I love it!

A Baby Blessed

Yesterday at church we had Chloe's baby blessing. For those who dont know what that is, it is a time for the church family to pray over and bless a new baby. Mike said the sweetest prayer and all of Chloe's grandparents were in attendance. What a "blessed" little girl. I kept reading the program where it said Blessing of Chloe Grace, daughter of Jeremy and Katie and kept thinking to myself...wow...daughter...I have a daughter, and a beautiful one at that. I had to put up most of her newborn and 0-3 month clothing because she is just to stinkin' long. She was 24 inches when we went for her check up and her little fit we just popping out of her footies and the onesies wouldnt snap anymore. It was kind of sad to think that she is already getting into another size of clothing. Just three months ago I would stand and look at her closet because I couldnt wait for her to get here and wear all of her clothes and now we are already through one size.
This weekend was so nice. I decorated for fall and had good intentions of getting laundry done which didnt happen. But we got to relax and just enjoy being home. Jeremy worked in the yard and I planted fall flowers it was just a beautiful weekend. This week a cold front is supposed to blow in and I am very excited. I am looking very forward to cool fall weather. Baby has started to go to bed around 9:00 everynight which is so nice and it seems that she isnt really having that fussy time anymore. Although it wasnt to bad when she did have it, it is nice that she stays content all evening.
Well just another crazy monday. Just took a moment to update my blog on my lunch. Now it is back to work!
