Another week...

Another week has gone by and Katie will be 5 weeks tomorrow. I know I keep repeating myself but time is just flying by. She seems to be changing by the minute. Now when she looks at me, I can tell that she's starting to put it all together. It is so amazing to watch her grow, but I keep telling her to slow down just a little for Mama. She is not listening.

Katie may have some visitors this weekend other than the usual suspects. Hopefully, Luke's family will make it up for a long overdue visit. They haven't seen the little monkey since we got home from the hospital. Here are some pictures from today. Everyone says that she looks a lot like me in the second picture. I am still having a hard time seeing it. You be the judge.

Katie turns 4 weeks old!

Katelyn is 4 weeks old today.

In the last couple of weeks she's become more aware of what's going on and she is getting bigger (also eating more). She also likes to give Dad a hard time about going to sleep - something that she doesn't do so much for Mom. Don't ask me why.

I love the time I get to spend with her each night when I come from work - she always wakes up around dinner time for her evening bottle and says hi to Dad. Yes, life has changed and it's definitely for the better.

Here are a couple of cute pictures that Steph took of her today.

We did it!

So I survived my first week alone with Katelyn. It wasn't nearly as terrifying as I had made it out in my mind. More importantly though, Katelyn survived her first week alone with me. I can't believe she is already 3 weeks old. Where does the time go? Today we baked a cake for Lukas for Valentine's Day. Well, I baked the cake and Katie-poo sat in her bouncer seat and watched. I love that she is awake more during the day. She just hangs out and takes everything in. I am such a lucky girl - I have two Valentines this year.

First Day ALONE...

So, tomorrow will be my first day completely on my own with Katelyn, and I am terrified! I am sure it will be fine because she really is the most perfect baby. Not that I am biased at all. I just find it scary and a little overwhelming that I am 100% responsible for another human life! We will see how it goes.

In other news, Katelyn had her first real bath this morning in her awesome bath tub. It is perfect because the water is constantly flowing through it so she never gets cold. She actually slept through the whole thing. She only got upset as I took her out of the water but calmed down once she was wrapped up in a towel. I love that little monkey.

Here are some pictures that I took of her and I.
