A Giggle, A Game and A Growing Family.

Well we have enjoyed having Kate with us for 2 whole months!! She has been growing so much and so fast!  She has grown to love her bath time and her eating times!  She has begun smiling at Ryan and I all the time.  She is also able to hold her head up for a little bit during tummy time and when you hold her over your shoulder.  She is also getting better during the night.  We still have pulled the occasional all nighter but for the most part she is only waking up once during the night.  I will definitely take that!!!  She is our joy!  Ryan and I are looking forward to many more fun times watching Miss Kate grow!

I need a new camera because mine is too slow to catch her smiling!!


 Kate enjoyed her first Rangers Opening Day!  We had my mom, aunt and cousin Caylea over for hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, queso and peanuts...all our favorite game day foods!  Kate had her Rangers shirt on and we had a really fun time watching the Rangers win!!!  Kasey and Harper also came by for a little visit.

Miss Kate was pooped after all the Ranger excitement!!

We had a peaceful and quiet Easter at home.  It was just the three of us for most of the day.  I didnt feel comfortable taking Kate to church or to my grandmothers house just yet without having had her shots so my parents came by in the evening to give Kate her Easter basket.  It actually worked out that we stayed home because Kate was mighty cranky that day!  I of course had to put her in her Easter dress that her Great Aunt Suzanne gave to her.  She looked adorable!! 

    She's about to get mad!

    Aaaannnd we are done with pictures!  I did say she was cranky that day!  :)

Not too excited about her confetti egg either :/ Maybe next year!!

Thanks Gimme for my awesome Easter basket!!

We also have a very exciting addition to our family. Jennifer  (Ryans sister) and Scott had their baby!! William Frederick Ayer was born on April 10th!  He was a whole 3 weeks early so it was a bit of a surprise.  He is a healthy and very sweet baby.  Kate is very excited to have her first cousin and Ryan and I very proud of our sweet nephew!

Here are some pictures of Kate meeting him for the first time.

Kate is also very excited for Uncle Lance and Aunt Bitt to have their baby girl in August!  YAY for more cousins!  Kate sure is blessed to have 2 cousins so close in age!

Okay, I have talked about the game and our growing family but I have yet to tell you that Kate giggled yesterday!!  It wasnt a full blown laugh but she definitely giggled.  She loves when you make noises and kiss her feet.  Here is the video of her giggle.  Please pay no attention to my voice or laugh! 

Here are some more random pictures of her from the past few weeks. 

 Kate was tired and poor Mia is looking at me like "You used to love taking pictures of me" 

We LOVE our sweet friend Bryce! 

                        Even with a little drool she is cute...

Holding up my head pretty well!!

Okay this picture cracks me up!!  This is what happens to her hair if she has a nap in her swing.  Poor girl has a mini mullet!  However, its the cutest little mullet I have ever seen :)

Kate's birth announcements will be in the mail soon.  I know she is 2 mos old but better late than never!!  Laney was our professional photographer that day and did a great job taking precious pictures of Kate.  I am also very late in sending some thank you notes so those are coming soon as well :)  with her surprising us in February, I got a little behind.

I will try to post more often as to not have such long posts!! 

Blessings to you all!
