Lots of excitement!

Obviously we've had some agony over what Katie can and can't eat. Saturday, we went out shopping. One of our stops was at a lovely health food store recommended by a sweet friend. We found all kinds of goodies, including wheat and dairy free cookies. Katie had her FIRST cookie that evening and it was a big hit!



Next stop was Babies R Us. Miss Katie saw this dress and just had to have it. I, of course, couldn't tell her no. We also got some more of her cereal. I keep forgetting to rave about this stuff. It's awesome. Check it out.



I seriously cannot believe I've kept her in her infant car seat this long. I think it's because she finally learned to be content in it and I can carry a lot more stuff with her seat hooked on my arm rather than her bottom propped on my hip.

I've always loved the Evenflo Triumph for Kelton and his old one has several years left in it. After some deliberation, we decided on a 2nd triumph because we like to have seats in both vehicles. Evenflo has improved the triumph since Kelton was little. It now rear faces to 35lbs and forward faces to 50lbs. Since it's much safer to keep children in a 5 point harness, I know we'll get the full use out of these seats.





Lastly, I've been busy working on Katie's bday invitations. I really like the way they have turned out. I had a little help from a message board friend with the wording. Every time I read it, I want to cry. Time sure does fly...

FIRST cookie...Yum-o! I'm so glad you found some new things she can have and that she likes! Love the new party outfit too :)

We need to get a new carseat pretty soon. Barrett is such a shrimp, he still fits fine in his infant seat. But I've been researching online. I'll have to email you for info on the seats you have. They look great!

Oh-the invites look GREAT!

She is so beautiful!

Thanks for linking that cereal. Molly doesn't eat yet, but when she does we'll be getting that. She gets probiotics now so I'm sure she'll need them in the future.

I saw that dress too but they didn't have it in Savannah's size :( Katie will look so cute in it!

The invitation is perfect! The wording made me cry, of course. I know it's been a rough year, not the 1st year you had dreamed about, but you are such a wonderful mother. You have a beautiful family.
