Ice Cream

Tonight my mom came up to feed Katie her desert. Tonight she had her very first ice cream cone. She absolutely loved it! She did really well holding it and ate the entire thing!



I can't wait until it gets warmer out and Heisler's opens. We'll be out there every weekend.

I just soaked my feet, it felt so good!! I may paint my nails then head to bed to read. I am exhausted!!

Good night and remember to pray for Layla Grace.

odds and ends

I didn't get to post yesterday because I was so busy! After school yesterday Jimmy and I took Katie to Climb-A-Lot again then out to dinner. Katie loved it even more than the last time. She's doing more and more comfortable. She absolutely loves going down the slide. We called my MIL on the way to dinner and she met us there which was nice. She of course was happy to see Katie. While at dinner we ran into Katie's Godmother. Her godmother's son is also my godson. They both get along so well, which makes us happy.

Layla Grace is still hanging on and we're all still praying for a miracle. Layla's mom was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest and she was also in OK Magazine. Here is the article. I am still praying for a miracle and peace for the family. I just hope a miracle happens. I can't imagine going through that. Please God help sweet Layla Grace. I hope God gives her a miracle and that she is fully healed. But if that is not in His plan I hope that she goes peacefully without suffering anymore than she already is.

Building...

Blocks of course! Katie loves blocks. Last night she was playing with regular building blocks and today it was her Mega Blocks. She's really good at it too! Here are two pictures of her building.

Today was a lazy day for me. I didn't feel like doing anything! I watch the Olympics most of the day and then my mom took Katie for awhile. I took a nap then went grocery shopping. I don't particularly like going grocery shopping. But it's one of those things you have to do.

Tonight I made some bows for the birthday party we have tomorrow. I also made Katie a plain brown bow, maybe she'll actually wear it! Tomorrow morning before the party I hope to clean, if my husband doesn't go to the party I am going to ask him to start the laundry, then I'll have to iron when I get home. I don't what is wrong with me but I was tired all day long. I just didn't feel very motivated. Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better.

Have a good Sunday everyone!

Thankful Thursday

I thought today I would talk about what I am thankful for. And today that is this little girl:

This picture was taken when Katie was 11 days old. Today she is about 16 months old! In this picture she probably weighed just under 7lbs, we called her our little peanut. She was tiny!

She brings so much joy to my life and I thank God each and every day for her. I try my best to savor each day, to try and imprint all the images into my brain. I wish I would remember to get my camera out more and capture it, her life.

My Katie is a spunky, funny, cookie stealing, dancing fool, paci loving, free spirited little lady. I love her with all of my heart and soul.
