going to the "radio"

We dropped CC off with grandparents and had a fun time with AH at the rodeo. She prefers to call it "the radio". G was in a super good mood...he purchased a light sword, a pink princess cowgirl hat and yummy overpriced snacks for all.

trip to Bham

Here are some pictures of a quick Bham trip to introduce grandparents to little one and celebrate birthdays.

First Friends and First Bathtime

Anne Emory and CC
Here is one of CC first friends. My sweet friend, Caroline had a baby girl a few weeks before me. Caroline and I were in each others weddings and I hope our girls will be great friends and enjoy growing up together.

"Finally, her cord came off, and she can have a bath with me"...you would have been told those words if we ran into you anywhere this day. All the Wal-mart strangers were happy to know the news Big Sister told them..HA! Not joking...Seriously, if you walk by and don't acknowledge our most precious little one, AH will be sure and catch your attention and tell you to look at her baby sister. She'll also tell you little ones name and what she has done that day.
(and usually if AH herself has been to the restroom that day she'll tell you that too...detailing if it was yellow or brown...i know...WAY to TMI)

Big Sister was so excited about helping with the bath. She even "helped" by unplugging the baby bathtub while we weren't looking...so we also made a waterfall in the bathroom.
I have many more stories of how AH has been "helping". It's just been too crazy for me to sit and write it all down. I'm about tired of all her "help".

need pictures??

My sweet friends have officially started their photography business! They've taken MANY incredibly special pictures of my family through the last few years. Above are 2 pictures from when they came to see Baby Catherine. They've only shown me these 2 and the 1 in the last blog and I'm SO EXCITED to see the rest!

Life is good!

This is what Big Sister had on majority of the time she came to the hospital. The nurses just cracked up at her most of the time. They called AH "the princess" and Catherine became known as "Lady Catherine" since her sister was a princess. We wondered what nicknames would stick for Catherine...Baby KK, C. C., but for sure we've adopted "Lady" and "Ladybug".

Thought I'd give a quick update and post some pictures! I don't have too many different ones than in my picassa web album. We've really had a great 2 weeks relaxing and getting used to our new little one! For me, It's been such a crazy road to HAVE this baby...I'm just now REALLY ENJOYING HER! My mom stayed with us for about a week then she took AnnieBoo home with her for another week so we could have time with just Catherine. She has been a pretty easy baby so far. We are so thankful she is eating and sleeping great :)
G's work schdule has changed a bit and we've gotten some fun extra time together as well.

I've spent time reading magazines and catching up on TV. AND I'm getting really good at ebay. I went through all of AnnieBoo's old clothes and have tried to find the matching other set for the girls to wear. I'm sure they can't be matchy matchy for very long so I'm taking advantage of as many deals I can find. I'm having great luck too! Why did I not think of ebay earlier!

Family of 4!!

YEAH! Everything went smoothly and we are SO EXCITED to welcome our new little one!
