Discovering Kate

As I promised, I'll keep placing a few videos every once in a while to build up the anticipation...but the majority of updates will come in picture format on our picture spaces page- www.micknabby.spaces.live.com

Kate just began crawling, so all things are changing around our house. She is so busy, and into everything she can get her hands on. Since she started crawling, she sits, stands and even cruises along the sofa. It's like it all happened at once!



Yesterday at the doctor's office she discovering herself in the mirror again, one of her favorite past times. I was so lucky to have caught these few moments on video... watch for the big BONK!!





This is all I have time for this time...have a blessed day.
Kate sends a big wet slobbery kiss... and a "high-five"- because she learned that last night.

Copy Cat Kate

Having Kate at our home is like Christmas every morning. We love waking up to her cheerful little self.

This is truly living- true happiness and contentment. Only in Christ.

So last night, as I was making supper Michael told me to hurry in the living room but not to let Kate see me. I grabbed my camera and this is what I found them doing!!!!

She is starting to copy us! We better be careful!!

(I just uploaded another video and it didn't go through and it takes FOREVER- Kate is ready to go home so I can't reload. sorry!!) I know I said there'd be two!

More later...

Jumping and Swinging

HI!! From Kate!

Hello family ( and few friends who still faithfully check our sad blog)- as you have discovered...since Kate arrived on the scene, my intertest and internet investment has completely vanished into mid air. Basically, if you don't love our daughter, you won't love this blog any longer, because it seems we are 2 parents lost in the wonder and the beauty of watching our long awaited child grow and develop- which is one miraculous event after another every single day, and that is what we are into.

So, until I get the interest back and the time to sit and blog, it's pictures and videos from now on, (for Auntie Shelley, Grampy and Grammy).

We are always updating our pics at: http://www.micknabby.spaces.live.com/

Love,
abby

Jumpy Jumpy Jumpy Girl

Kate is Grand!! She sits, she stands....

Here is our little bundle of laughter and joy.. life seriously couldn't be grander for the three of us. We thank the Lord every day for our family!



More pics have been uploaded to our website as well. Enjoy! (Because we sure are!)

Kate is 6 months old!

Kate is 6 months and we have enjoyed tremendous changes in the past couple of weeks. Yesterday we took Kate to the beach with our new baby backpack. She did great and we lasted 3 1/2 hours. That was a feat in itself. She just snuggled up and had herself a little nap under the umbrella, which was pretty cute. See the rest of the pics HERE on our website.



Motherhood is wonderful, everything I wanted and so much more. Such a fulfilling role. Being home with Kate also adds more beauty to our marriage, as things seem to be in order more often with more homecooked meals, yeah!

Kate is getting into some long laughing spurts and we think it's hilarious! Here is a couple of videos- (they are all different) enjoy!

This can go on for about 3-4 minutes. It's great!

Southern Smiles

We have had a lovely trip to TN to visit the fam.

Kate met both her great grand mothers and we have gotten to visit with so many family and friends who came by the house to meet Kate.

It was good to see everyone- a special hello to the Anders! (Please see our pics HERE . You can also download them for yourself- as many of you are in them).

Kate was such a trooper, always social and never fussing when being picked up by a new person every 5 minutes! She crashed when we got home.

More to come...blessings everyone!

Let's Compare

It has been really fun to look back and compare this little girl's growth...and these are just a few pics that I found that might be a little fun to compare!

Look at our little chubs!!!!

Little weanie neck replaced by a strong neck that holds itself up!

Mom bringing Kate home for the first time, verses a curious little gal celebrating Valentines day!

And ahh...the beauty of the naked baby...what a cute little bod!

Look at those skinny arms, replaced by nice healthy chub chub....

How about a bouncy seat?
Looking a little big for ya there Kate..

but now...it's just great!

And dad loves to hold you skin to skin...

now you are fat, but once you were thin!
