Katelyn's on a Roll

On Sunday Katelyn rolled from her back to her stomach. Check out Grandma's blog for some action footage. I tried all morning to record it but had no luck. I also got my new camera today so I soon as the battery is charged I should have some new pictures to post.

Happy Monday

Greeting everyone!
Here is a quick update on the Marley family. Katelyn is now 3 months old!! How time files. She is quite the talker these days and gets a little noisy for the library sometimes. Katelyn is also very social and smiles at just about everyone. Her new favorites positions are sitting up or standing. She has discovered her knees and fingers and will explore a new toy. Everyday is just a new experience; its so fun to watch Katelyn grow.

My camera has died. It got dropped accidentally and now it doesn't work. So until I can purchase a new one, you'll have to visit my mom's flickr page for Katelyn pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmp52

P.S. J.C. and I are doing fine too.

Sears photos

Tonight I took Katelyn to Sears to have her picture made. Here are the results. We'll try again in a couple of months.

Mom and Dad

Now I know how Katelyn got to be so cute. Just look at her parents.

Katelyn is sleeping better through the night!!!! She'll sleep for 5 or 6 hours straight.

Katelyn never keeps her feet in the leg holes of her sleepers. Usually she'll put both feet in one hole or pull both knees to her chest and get bunched up. Well last night when she woke up she had somehow gotten her foot through the space between the snaps. I just had to take a picture.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Katelyn's all bundled up ready for the negative temps. The suit is a little big but it keeps her warm. She now weighs 9lbs 6oz and is 22 1/4 inches long. Growing right on schedule.

Wow the first month has flown by. It's be so fun watching her change and grow. Everyday is she making a new face or noise. She is such a joy!!

Katelyn now weighs 9 pounds. Dr. Stephens says she looks great and couldn't believe how she holds her head up. Katelyn has also rolled over three or four times and loves to smile.

Katelyn Brooke

The moment we've all been waiting for finally arrived. Katelyn Brooke Marley made her debut on November 15 at 12:55 p.m. She was on the larger side, Weighing in at 8 pounds and 14 ounces. My labor began Friday morning and continued to progress throughout the day. I called J.C. and he came home from work early to drive me to the hospital. Contractions strengthen through the night, but by morning still no baby. Around noon, Dr. Benson decided that Katelyn would need to be delivered by cesarean. 45 minutes later, we had a beautiful baby girl. It was the greatest birthday gift anyone could ask for.

Grandma's New Album

While Baby M and I were visiting Grandma yesterday she received a special package in the mail. A photo album that holds 600 photos!!! My guess is that she will have the album full by the baby's 2nd birthday. The album is huge and would hurt it you dropped it on your foot.

3 days to go

Wow the last few weeks have really flown by. I meant to post these pictures before now, but I have been having Internet troubles. My due date is fast approaching. I get more excited everyday, ready to meet this little person. I'm still feeling pretty good. I have little aches and pains here and there but nothing consistent. Baby M is still pretty active. I try to tell him/her that he/she would have more room if it would come out. But I guess we'll meet him or her when its ready.

J.C. had a little accident at work a couple of weeks ago. He basically got his finger pulled into the drill he was using at work. We spent a day at the hospital getting the nail reattached and a pin put in the end. It made for a long day. He is doing much better and will get the stitches out next week. The pin will come out in 12 weeks.

Halloween 2008

I had a great time creating my Halloween costume this year. I couldn't pass up my first opportunity to make a costume for Baby M too. We won $2.00 at the Lion Club's costume contest. It was a great night.

Our annual Halloween party was a great hit as well. This year Franki and Fowler got to join in on the fun. Hope everyone had a great time!!

Baby Shower

Grandma Judy and Aunt Janice put on a great shower for Baby M. Everyone enjoyed delicious refreshments and fun games!!

Shower for Baby M

Baby M is blessed to have such great family and friends.!!
