Weekend Recap: Catching Up

July 13, 2015 by Katrina Leave a Comment

Last week life happened and this little blog got put on the back burner 🙁

Things are getting back on track now, so let’s catch up, friends!

Anytime Libby passes by a mannequin she asks to have her picture made with them. It cracks me up every time!  Last week was no different, we ran in Old Navy looking for some bigger shorts for Whitney and Libby insisted that her picture be made as we walked in. She also found an Ariel tshirt that she felt she needed. I’ m not big on character clothes but I caved and she has asked to wear it every single day since.

The girls and I spend last Wednesday morning at the mall. Here is a fact about me: I rarely go to the mall. It is crowded and I don’t like crowds. But, last week I decided it was just the place to spend the morning, get some energy out, and check out some sales. Our mall has these ride on animals that you can rent. Libby always looks at them but is too scared to ride one, even though she really wants to. As she was checking them out she told me that one day she would be brave and ride one! We made a deal that on Friday, we would come back to the mall with daddy and ride one.

We also made a deal that since she had been so sweet and helpful at home we would go in the Disney store and she could pick out a toy. Libby had almost decided on a Sophia the First doll when she spotted Rex from Toy Story! If you know Libby, you know she is dinosaur obsessed! I think she was happy with her purchase!

Thursday the girls and I spend a lot of time getting ready for a yard sale we were having this weekend. I’ve never had a yard sale before, and y’all…it was a lot of dang work! Someone remind me of that the next time I throw that idea out!

We were all over heated and needed a bath. This girl loves her baths!

Friday Libby reminded us that we promised to take her back to the mall to ride an animal. So off we went, and you know what?

She picked a pig and rode it all over the mall…with her daddy! She insisted on riding with Lee and she was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up really quickly and had a blast! She also got her favorite pizza and a ride on the carousel before we left.

Saturday morning we hosted our yard sale! It was so dang hot but it was worth it. We made some money and got rid of a lot of stuff I was hoarding holding on to. The real excitement of the day was that Lee’s brother and his kiddos were coming into town for the weekend! Libby loves playing with her cousins and that is just what she did the rest of the day!!

We spend Sunday recovering from the yard sale and visiting with our cousins some more. All the playing wore Whitney out.

We ended our weekend with ice cream for dinner!!

 I hope your weekend was filled with lots of {southern} love and family as ours was!

9 months of Whitney

July 8, 2015 by Katrina Leave a Comment

Happy Whitney, I cannot believe you are 9 months old! It seems like yesterday we were planning for your arrival, and now we are planning your first birthday party. It makes a part of me sad that I feel like you are growing up so fast, but it also makes me so happy to see you reach each new stage of life.

At your 9 month check up you weighed in at 19 pounds and 27 inches which puts you in the 50th percentile. Compared to Libby, we think you are small, but you are just the perfect size!

20150702_175455319_iOS

Everything still goes in your mouth {and you think it is hilarious}

20150616_153855604_iOS

You started crawling little by little

As you see, you pull up on EVERYTHING! You also let go of most things, which has led to more than a few tumbles and falls.

20150702_181518000_iOS

You like to be rocked to sleep. You take a 45 minute morning nap, a 2 hour afternoon nap, and sleep 11 hours most nights. You are a good sleeper and always have been!

20150620_224305221_iOS

20150615_223658498_iOS

You love to eat, too! Some of your favorites are ravioli, blueberries, yogurt, pancakes, fries, quesadillas, and fruit snacks. You still take 3 or 4 7 ounce bottles before each nap. You don’t think you can go to sleep without a bottle 🙂

20150702_172010484_iOS

You can sometimes be a messy eater, but that is ok!

20150702_150021863_iOS

20150630_131140946_iOS

You like to be outside and with friends

Overall though…you are just a happy girl, and we are so blessed God chose us to be your parents!

Were you named after anyone?

My parents just felt for sure I was going to be a boy, so they didn’t have any girl names picked out. I arrived a girl and they were at a loss as to what to name me. They looked in the phone book that was sitting by the hospital bed and found the name Katrina, and that was that!! HAHA!!

Can you change a tire?

Yes! My dad made me show him that I knew how to change a tire, check and change the oil in my car, jump the battery off, and several other things before he would take me to my driver’s test. At the time I hated it and thought it was the dumbest thing ever, now I realize how smart he was to show me these things! Thanks daddy!!
