Hey there, wild thing- I love my sippy and wild hair!

Playing with my friend Harper!

Watching daddy play flag football.....PS...he was SORE for a WHOLE week afterwards :P

Fun with my friends at playgroup- I can't remember if I shared these or not!

Very Proud of Daddy!

Daddy got a promotion!  He's headed back to Lexus to be a new car sales manager April 1st!  This is a huge accomplishment and we are very proud of him! Here's a pic with his Lexus cake from Mimi!

I love my daddy!

What happened during her 8th month

• Is sleeping through the night!  I all of a sudden decided it was time and finally let her fuss...the first night, she fussed (not cried) for 12 minutes and that WAS IT.  She's been sleeping through ever since!  I guess that was mom's fault =)
• Takes two naps a day
• Loves taggies 
• Graduated from the whale tub to a seat in the bathtub
• Loves to splash in the tub
• Would rather be dressed on the floor because she's too wiggly on her changing table
• Wears size 4 diapers
• Wears 18 month clothes
• Loves her car in the kitchen wear she can walk around freely by herself
• New food- mango, cantaloupe, ground beef, chicken, turkey, peanut butter sandwich, cottage cheese, lots of beans, hummus, grapes, blueberries, bagels, muffins, sausage
• Still doesn't prefer her stomach- rocks back and forth and rolls around instead of crawling
• Pulls to a standing position on mom or dad, but not on furniture
• Loves her dancing baby doll from Minnie
• Enjoys banging her spoon on her high chair
• Is trying to feed herself with her spoon
• Loves peek-a-boo and being shocked
• Has two teeth on the bottom, two on the top, and two more on the top on their way
• Loves playing fetch with Frisco
• Enjoys music and crawling over mom and dad's bellies

Play time with Friends

At LA Fitness Kids Klub!  I bring a blanket and toys for Katherine.  All the kids love her and always are amazed by her cool things.

At our PTA group playgroup-  we took a Valentine's shoot to get the kiddos in their bloomers

Entertainment Center

Mom and I went to Garden Ridge to accessorize the entertainment center.  I was going to have a carpenter build cabinets on the bottom underneath the TV shelf, as this unit was originally purchased to hold the old style big screen TVs that went all the way to the floor.

So for a week, my camp chest supported our new 60 inch tv from Best Buy.  It took Jerad a full Sunday afternoon to hook up all our electronics.

Then after living with it for a week, Jerad decided to assemble the new shelf by himself and hold off on having someone build cabinets!

So now we have the TV back on a shelf.  We're going to finish the look by adding a piece of stained ply wood to the back to hide the wires, and add three large baskets underneath to hold all Katherine's toys.  A perfect storage solution!  And YES we made sure the shelf was super stable to prevent the TV from falling when kids are getting into the baskets underneath.  Good job honey!!

House changes

Mom and Dad gave us some new furniture a couple weeks ago- so we were able to sell a bunch of our stuff in a garage sale and to a consignment store- we sold...

A Media cabinet

A coffee table

Our couch

Kitchen table and chairs

And here's pictures of the new stuff!

Living room rug

Entertainment Center

Table, mirror, lamps, and pictures

Bar Stools

Kitchen table and chairs

King Chairs....

That I'm going to have recovered in this fabric- 

Jerad and I placed an order from Ethan Allen for our new couch in this fabric-

And we moved our old living room rug into the Red room- and with mom's two lamps, this room is now nice and cozy!
