Who Does She look Like?

I have wanted to put her picture next to ours for a while now. And so here it is. I do think she has my cheeks and nose. What do you think?

Surprise!!

So, Monday my mom called and said "guess what?" I was just hoping that she wasn't going to say that my dad was back at Kaiser. Nope, she said we're coming home Wednesday. I couldn't believe it. He just started walking on the 16th. So, the past couple of days my mom has been working on getting ready for him to come home. I am worried. I really hope that this wasn't too soon. I know that they want to come home but it doesn't mean that he is ready to come home. I called at about 5 and they were home and had a couple of problems that were fixed. It is going to be alot of work and I hope my mom calls for help before she starts drowning.
In other news...well, there really isn't any other news. Just life happening. Ben went and checked in on Katelynn this morning and he found her laying sideways across the head of her bed. I think she used her heels and dug them in to move around. Rolling is not how she got there, because if she ended up on her tummy she would be screaming.
I have also decided that no matter what is going on, somedays will always be better than others. Today wasn't a horrible day but it wasn't my favorite either. There seems to be always something else to figure out with her. I also feel that time is flying by. I thought it was slow in the beginning, when I was pulling my hair out but now I only have three weeks until I have to go back to work. I know it is only one day a week but it still seems like so much. I just want to be there for her all the time. Even when Ben is home from work I have a hard time letting him take care of her and I know he wants to but I just always take her from him. Ecspecially when she is crying (not that its alot, babies do cry) I just want to hold her and comfort her and I know that he wants to do that too. I guess it will be good for me to get away. Wow, that was rambling.
I better get to bed. Talk to you later.

WOW!!

This is Katelynn, Today. This is also her first scrapbook page ever done. Today was a good day. She took a 2.5 hour nap. Later!

Quiet

I wonder, am I too quiet? Mainly for Katelynn. I guess I just think about weird things now and then and this is one of those. The TV and radio aren't playing really at all through the day. Of course I talk to her but I really don't know what to say. I am sure she won't have any problems, she may just like the quiet when she gets older. That may be hard though when siblings come.

In other news we went swimming on Saturday and Katelynn HATED it. It was way too cold for her liking. I put her feet in and she just screamed and then she was splashed and she screamed even harder. I was able to get her used to the water for her feet but that was about it. Then Ben did the biggest splash off the slide and all the water landed on her and that was the end. We moved over to the table and kept dry.

I didn't post a pic of Katelynn on her 3 months but I do have a video that I think is better. As you can tell I stopped it right before a squeal and then we got her out of the bumbo.


And in case you were wondering my dad is improving. he has had a couple set backs but has been clear of those and in one place for almost a month so he is doing better. He is able to assist more with all the activities of daily living. Like feeding himself, helping more to get out of bed and sitting up in a wheelchair. He can stand with a walker but his left side is still Very weak and he can't lift that leg too well. The physical therapist said that he thinks he might be there for another month or two. As long as there is progress we are all happy, even if it is slow.

Until next time. I'll talk to you later.
