Tickling the Ivories

I introduced Katelyn to the piano and she loves it. The Piano is by our backdoor and I had put up the blind so she could see Tucker sitting by the window. She got a little distracted in her playing to point out the "dog" but it sounds more like "dough". Now if I want to play by myself, I immediately have a lap partner. And if anything happens to my piano in this process of my amateur pianist, I have a piano man in the family.

Too Cute Onsie

Katelyn was given this uber-cute horse onsie, which is now getting too small, so I had to get some shots of it.
Workin' it.

Or sometimes, she just can't be bothered with clothes, and would rather look at herself in the mirror.

Saturday Night Suds

Playin' in the tub with our little friend, Micah. Thankfully at this age, this is harmless.

Family Time

My sisters and mom came out last weekend to see us, but more importantly, to see their niece and granddaughter Katelyn. My sisters had never met Katelyn and this would be my mom's third trip down since she was born. She saw her when she was a week and 3 months old, so she has changed a lot and is SO MUCH FUN!

Enjoying a new Dr. Seuss book from Auntie Gina. I'm so happy that Katelyn loves books. I was a book worm as well

Strutting around in some new pj's from cousin Sephira.

Since we didn't make it home for Christmas, Christmas came to us and Katelyn got 2 new toys to add to her collection and some new 1T clothes from Auntie Janesa who just couldn't resist the cute clothes at a great deal. We even got a night out for Jason and I, leaving Katelyn with Grandma and the aunts, much to their pleasure. We went out for Supper with friends and met more couples at a Christian comedian "concert". It was nice to get a couple of hours of couple time. It felt so weird walking with just Jason again and no bulky car seat and diaper bag.

Sunday we went out for a nice steak dinner in Cody and said our good-byes since my family was leaving early monday morning. We had a good visit and we will hopefully see them again soon. Grandpa missed out on this trip and was sad he couldn't make it.

My Laundry Helper

I thought I would put Katelyn on my bed so I could put away some laundry, but somehow, it took me longer than I thought it would. Someone was so willing to help me unload the basket. She loves to unload anything. i.e. the diaper bag, toy baskets, laundry baskets. If you can fill it, she can empty it!

I love this photo. Hair standing on end and a big smile. Playing in the basket brought on some major static.

"Baby Baby"

Our little girl loves music. Something she comes by naturally as Jason and I love music. Jason was putting some cd's onto our computer and thought he would see what Katelyn would do with the headphones.
She doesn't look impressed but she gets so mesmerized she kind of zones out.
Jason held her on his lap for the entire classic rendition from Amy Grant of "Baby Baby". When he tried to take the headphones off, she fussed. She wants and loves her music.

Huge Blonde Moment

Thursday I headed down with Jason, to Meeteetse to spend the day with a friend. Jason has been working there for last couple of weeks and wanted the company of his wife. So, after he was done working for the day, he took his wife and daughter out to the Cowboy Bar for some food. I however had the car so I drove after picking him up. We had a good meal in a quiet restaurant and went to load up the car. Again I drove the 2 blocks to my friend's house, but something just wasn't right. Jason had the dome light on and was reading the local paper. As I pulled up into the driveway, it dawned on me, I didn't have my lights on! Oh well, it's a quiet little town and nothing happened. As I pull out Katelyn, the sheriff's truck pulls up behind me. We know the sheriff and his wife was at Faith's so we thought he was coming to see her. Jason makes the joke about giving me a ticket for not having my lights on. Well, that's what he was coming for! He saw me drive away and drove 60 mph to catch up to me, doing 30 in town, to come and capture the possible DUI he was thinking I was. I was so embarrassed. His wife came out as we drove up and poked fun, but only because her husband is the type that would give her a ticket and probably has. Thankfully, he was nice enough not to give me a ticket, but I have a feeling I won't be able to live this one down the next time I see him.
