100% loved!!

I don't think that it's possible to love this baby more. We are all having so much fun with her. She is such a great baby and has such a fun personality. Even when she's being demanding she's pretty funny! (I'm sure that will wear off.) Dad, Katelyn and I went for a walk downtown yesterday and we let grandpa take us out to lunch. We're so nice! Here's grandpa and Katelyn at Triangle Park. She loved all the fountains downtown. She's a water girl. We need to get her in some swim lessons soon.Doesn't her shirt say it all??!! Josh and I just love her so much...and so does everyone else for that matter. The journey to adopt a child was filled with so much heartache along the way. It's so nice to have a house filled with laughter and joy. What a blessing this little girl is and she is truly worth every second we waited for her. I wouldn't trade her for anything! Oh and she's a genius...see how she got a whole side of the rubix cube done! ;)
Look at that little smile.
I just couldn't resist! I styled her hair in the bath last night. I laughed so hard I almost fell over. Someday when my teenage Katelyn comes home with hair like this someone needs to remind me that I started it.
Katelyn figured out today that she could roll consecutively...not just from side to side...so she can travel to get something. It's funny to watch her roll all over the living room floor. Our home is no longer The McDonald's house...it's Katelyn's playground. This girl wants to walk so bad. Her little legs are always moving. She flies around in her walker and can cruise back and forth along the coffee table. She can't navigate around the corner yet. She doesn't want to sit at all anymore...she wants someone to hold her hands and walk around the house. Mom and dad are headed up to Michigan on Tuesday for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what I'm expected to do without the extra four hands!!!! They've been such a HUGE help, we've all been spoiled...especially princess Katelyn.
I've been reprimanded by my family for not posting more often. They're addicts for the Katelyn fix. I can hardly blame them. I'll try to be better...but in my defense, behind these sweet little pictures is a full time job, a house to clean, laundry to do, meals to cook and a VERY active little girl. Sometimes a week goes by and I feel like it's only been a day!

Great pictures and updates. Being a mom (and dad) is the greatest experience you could ever go through. Even when your kids get to be teenagers! Just tell Katelyn that I'll be there for here when she gets to that time in her life! Love you bunches. A.B., Al, Dree & John
