Porchtime and stuff

March 2012 The word of the month is hormones! Wow! They are making me feel super crazy at times! So far there has only been one evening where Jake had to call in for reinforcements. Katie had been crying off and on for most of the day and eating off and on all day and by the time Jake got home I was feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. I started crying uncontrollably, Katie was crying, and after a while of manning things on his own, Jake decided we had a job that only someone with experience could handle. Granny came gave Jake a beer,  put me(reluctantly) in the shower, and worked her magic with Katie. We think Katie may have a touch of colic because every night around 8:00 she starts crying and nothing we try seems to work. After trying several different things different books suggested, Jake seems to have the magic touch, he lays her on his arm and lets her suck on his finger and he walks around the room with her. Magic Touch! I threw the Baby Wise book across the room, maybe it was hormones, who knows, but it made me feel better afterwards!

Jake got Katie ready for church and I had to take a picture because he put her hat on backwards. It is a very cute bonnet and he did a great job, I just thought it was funny:)


 We took a trip down to see our family in FL and AL, Katie’s first big trip! She slept all the way down with only one stop halfway for some dinner; she is a great car rider!

                                                                    Granny Franny

                                                                      Uncle Freddy

                                                            Ron, Alan, and Annette

                                                            Great Granddaddy Jones

                                                Peepaw barely let anyone else hold her!

                                                   Hunter and Heather got to hold Katie

 Hunter was so sweet, he kept patting her and rocking her, then she started fussing and he was done! So cute!

 

Katie has so many people that love her! 

Gran and Paw seem to like her just fine!

                    Magic Velcro Baby! She found her a sweet spot and just hung out there!

 We love that she can just fall asleep anywhere, no matter what we are doing. 

Jake can do the exact same thing!

 WE LOVE THE MOBY WRAP! T IS AWESOME! Katie loves it too!

 Her cozy bed, she doesn't really sleep here except for naps, not yet.

 Out on one of our walks. Mama, Katie, and Sam:)

 Most nights this is how Katie falls asleep, and Jake too.

Can't beat snuggle time with a sweet baby!

 Watching the cows across the street, I don't think she can see that far, but whatever.

 One of my faves!!

 Katie's first porch time with the family:) Yay! Porchtime!!
