Cate's first feeding with a spoon!

Today was a big milestone for Cathryn. She started the morning with rice cereal. Mommy held her and her hands and Daddy did the whole feeding. Cathryn was ready! She gobbled it all up. We'll feed rice cereal for 3 days (2 feedings a day) and then we'll try another cereal. Probably oatmeal......

Our baby girl is growing up so fast.

Cate's FIRST Concert!!!

Mom and Cate are sitting outside at Desert Foothills Park, listening to some rock 'n roll. It was a lot of fun. Maggie made us a great picnic. The sandwiches were so good that everyone (except for me, cuz I helped) thought they were made by AJ's. Yeah, seriously.




I know this picture looks a lot like the previous picture, but can you ever have too much of a good thing? Not in this blog! Isnt' Maggie just GLOWING??? She just ran 12 miles not 10 minutes before this picture was taken. And she still had time to make a picnic basket for us all. Not pictured: Josh, Caroline & Sara (Caroline and Sara were scarce - they were dancing in the mosh pit. Josh stayed near his Papa, but didn't get in any pictures).




This was actually taken before we left. That is not a mountain behind Cate's head.

Shut up.

Cate and Friends

We took some new pictures this weekend so that we'd be able to keep everyone flush with pictures of Cate. We are here for you, the adoring public...



We are taking a poll on who you think Cate looks like in this picture:




That's me (dad) on the left:




It looks like she has some blonde hair in this picture, but she doesn't. It's got some red in it, but she will be a brunette with striking blue-eyes, with a figure to kill for, a personality like no other, and an innate ability to marry for money. Lots of it. Enough for her parents, too.




Even a fun-loving soul like Cate needs to get serious sometimes. In this picture, Maggie is reading some of Voltaire's work. Personally, I don't like him, but I want her to be well-rounded. Besides, it will take MONTHS before she can fully appreciate philosophers like Kant or Nietzsche.

No New Pictures...

Maggie needs to take pictures of Cate and post them.

Cate has all sorts of cute new outfits, and I think Maggie should take some pictures and post them! Cate is really getting some personality! She loves to yell and scream and kick her legs and flail her arms. FUH-KNEE!!!

We'll have to video tape some of that. Can we post that stuff on here, or do we have to link it?

Anyone?

Bonding: Cate & Caroline

We took Cate for her first swim today. She didn't LOVE it at first (like I had thought she would, seeing how she LOVES bathtime). However, she got comfortable after a few minutes, and started kicking and flailing at the water. I tried to dunk her a little bit, but someone had their timing off a bit, and she choked up some water and coughed for a few seconds. Better luck next time. Maggie says she (Cate, not Maggie) will be in a swim class at 6 months (per the direction of the YMCA swim coach). We'll have a little mermaid, even if it kills her!

Cate and Caroline have a "moment" together. It was especially nice for us, because Cate hasn't been feeling well today.




Isn't Caroline HYSTERICAL??? I wonder if I should take pictures of what I do behind her back when she isn't looking...


Cate has such a sly smile, don't you think? Everytime we take pictures, we get a smile like this somewhere in the batch.


It's hard to tell, but she is actually getting real hair on the top of her head. She still has that little capuchin monk style in the back of her head (A ring of no-growth), but it's getting LONG in back. She'll be modeling for the hair salon magazines in NO TIME.
