Kate Meets Conroe

Kate and I made our first trip to Conroe a few days ago. She was such a good traveller. We only stopped one time each way to feed and change her diaper.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Laying on Aunt Laurie...wonder if she was talking to her future cousin? We can't wait to meet her in January.

We were on the go the whole time we were there...sure was nice to be home to finally be able to relax!

One month already?

We cannot believe that a month has already gone by since Kate was born. She is such a good baby and is growing and changing every day.

Once we got home from the hospital, Kate had some very special visitors come see her. First, Mimi (Angela’s mom) came back to help. She was such a great help. Then, Aunt Manay (Amanda), Aunt Nic Nic and Uncle B (Nicole and Blaine) all drove from Conroe to come meet Kate.

That weekend, Uncle Brian, Aunt Carri, and cousins Andrew, Emily, Matthew and Jacob drove in from Wichita, Kansas to come meet the newest addition to the family. Pawpaw also came back for the weekend.

Thank you all so much for making such an effort to come see us.

This month marks a multitude of firsts...

...first bath

...watched (or really slept through) first LSU victory and first (of many!) Cowboys' loss

...first walk with Mommy and Daddy (shown here in the jogging stroller...she looks so tiny!)

...first time out to eat (we went to Twisted Root in Roanoke and had yummy hamburgers)

Here's a picture of Kate on one of her outings with Mommy.

When Kate was about 3 weeks old, Auntie M and Aunt Kim came up for the weekend. Daddy went to the deer lease, so it was a perfect excuse for a girls' weekend!

Auntie M took some pictures of Kate for her birth announcements. We had a lot of fun playing dress up!

I just thought this was a neat picture, so decided to include as well.
