Our First Family Vacation

Although it was a short trip, I still consider it our first family vacation. Justin has the week off so we headed to Houston for a night. We took Katelyn to The Children's Museum and the Houston Zoo. We also made a stop at the Katy Mills Mall and The Rainforest Cafe. The trip was a lot of fun, although very tiring with an almost 11 month old in tow.

First stop on the way, Pappasitos.

Katelyn had fun exploring the hotel room.

Here we are at the Children's Museum. They have an area called the "Tot Spot" for kids up to 36 months where babies can explore all kinds of things from play cars, balls, instruments, switches and doors, tunnels, and more. I'm glad we made this stop.

I Spoke too Soon

I thought Katelyn was feeling better today, but at about noon, she got a fever again. It was a pretty long day but she's sound asleep in her bed now.

It had to Happen Sometime

Katelyn had her first fever yesterday. The night before she wasn't acting herself and we could tell she wanted to play but just didn't feel good. Then, yesterday morning, she woke up and felt pretty warm, so we took her temperature and determined that she did, indeed, have a fever. She had been very healthy up until this, with only just a stuffy nose once. She hadn't ever had a fever, until now. The fever made her very tired. She was just so pitiful to watch. She would just sit and play for a second, then lay down as if to say, "Please take me to bed." She slept most of the day, waking only just an hour or so at a time and then she was ready to go back to bed. Luckily we were able to keep the fever under control and today, she is feeling fine.

Standing Up!

Katelyn is a wild child. She crawls from one room to the other so fast and is into everything! She's learned to pull up on furniture but hasn't quite figured out how to cruise along it yet. One of her favorite places to stand is at the front door. This picture was taken the night we saw this beautiful rainbow.

Thank you God for this rainbow!

Summer Time!

Sooooo Big!

I can't believe it. One day my baby is learning to crawl, and just a few short days later, she is pulling up on furniture to stand. I captured a few pictures of her new milestone.

Oh yeah...and she's also cutting her first two teeth! It took a while, but both bottom middle teeth decided to come through at the same time. She's handling it pretty well.
