Katrina is crawling!!!!  The hardwood floors are giving her a run, but with enough motivation, anything is possible!  It is now time to baby-proof the house...


This is a perfect picture to describe Katrina's world...Mason (and the remote control) were the first two things that were worth crawling for.  Mason is Katrina's best friend--she crawls over to him, snuggles her face in his side and tries to fall asleep with him.  He is wonderful with her and has been known to go lay his chin on her back while she is playing.

Daddy bought Katrina a new puppy stuffed animal and she loves it!!  She lies on her back and he holds it over her and tickles her with it while she giggles and squeals.  All the fun stuff happens while Mommy is at work late with parent conferences...sooo not fair...

It was a little late for perfect Macs, but at least we got there.  This is one of my very favorite fall activities--apple-picking!!  (To prove how excited I get about this, my mother-in-law can attest to the fact that I bought this outfit specifically for apple-picking back a few months ago!)  It was a family affair...Mom, Dad, Jon, Paul, Katrina, myself and Mason.  It was a perfect day!

My brother can be a goober at times, but this time he hit the nail on the head.  For my birthday, he put together a card on smilebox that included pictures that he had taken throughout the month of September.  It was amazing and I cried and here are some of my favorites!

(I know that this picture probably looks a little inappropriate, but Katrina loves to lick the condensation off of cans, bottles, glasses, you name it really.  We were trying to keep her entertained on a ferry ride out to Staten Island, give us a break!)   :)

Here are some August pictures...

We went to the Olsen House as part of a museum trip up in Maine.  It was a gorgeous day and Katrina was all smiles!

This is part of a long, relaxing weekend in Cape Cod with friends (the polka dotted outfit was a special Cape must have!)  Paul would also like you to note the 3 pound lobster he is about to demolish!!!
