Some good times with the family

It's been awhile since I last posted some pics of Catch. Time is flying by and things are just getting so busy! Lately I feel like his sleeping routine has been getting worse. He'll only sleep for a couple hours and wake up crying. His stomach has been hurting lately, so that's probably what it is. It just breaks my heart. However, last night he slept from 10 pm to 3:30 am. He must have needed it.

We have begun watching the "Your Baby Can Read" dvd. Catch seems to like them for the most part. Sometimes he can watch the entire 20 minutes, which is really impressive. The program also came with a cd of nursery rhymes. We listen to them anytime we get in the car. I think his favorites are "eensy weensy spider" and "head, shoulders, knees, and toes". His gets the biggest grin when I sing those to him. :0)


Little Monkey has outgrown his bassinet now. Time to put in the attic.
Definitely bittersweet.

Get that ladybug and snail!

He was asleep in my arms and when I laid him down to change his diaper,
this is how he stayed. Talk about being pooped!

Playing at daycare. I think he looks like me here.
Maybe I'm just dreaming though.

I went to pick Catch up at daycare and he was sound asleep. So precious!

Sleeping at Whataburger. Getting rested up for some bowling.

Kisses from grandpa

He just loves his grandma and grandpa.

Look how long he is?!

I wasn't too successful. You'll notice all the pins are

still standing.

Aren't we just the cutest?!

Grandpa fixed Catch's swing. It has lights and music.

He loves to stare at lights.

hehehe...my precious!

Getting ready for the OU game vs. ISU

Watching the game.

Go OU!

Sitting up. What a big boy!

I think he's in love with his hands.

Half-time: Time to play!

Some Big Moments for Catcheroo

These past couple weeks have been big ones for Catch. He is doing new things every day and we can barely keep up! He is rolling over, using the jumper, giggling, moving his head around steadily, pulling on toys to make them turn on, and focusing on the tv, books, and everyone who looks at him. He even looked at me when I called his name. Chris has noticed that he perks up when he looks at himself in the mirror and my mom said he smiled at himself when he saw his reflection. We are in such awe of our little man! Before we know it he'll be walking and talking!

I didn't discover that he could play in this until I picked him up at daycare. I walked in and he was just sitting there playing with all the toys. I was amazed at how balanced he was.


He can reach the floor on his tippie toes. It's adorable. We don't keep him there but a few minutes.

Chris showing Catch the trees and flowers. Catch really seems intrigued by everything he sees. Chris takes him on a daily "Daddy and Son Walk" around the block every night. Along the way, he tells Catch all the things he sees. Chris said that Catch is really observant and turns to look at trees and other things.

Catch is definitely comfortable in his daddy's arms!

Already taking over the remote and recliner!

Kicking away!

His new toy. He has already learned to pull on the string below the ladybug. "If you're happy and you know it" plays every time.

Catch trying to roll back over and play with his cousins, Zane and Ethan.

Catch sleeping during his first OU game. He must have realized what the outcome was going to be. Grandma wouldn't let me wake him up to put on his OU onesie. ;0)

Having a giggle with Grandma Lisa

hehehe...this pic is too funny!
Chillin' with dad

He is all about sitting up now.

He rolled himself over and scooted over to his toy. It took awhile, but he did it all by himself.

"I can do it myself, daddy!"

Catch's Daycare Crew

I really think Catch is enjoying daycare. He is sleeping better and eating more, so he must be getting more comfortable. He is in a room with 4 or 5 other babies and two wonderful women, Sue and Kristin. I will walk in there sometimes and they will have one baby on their lap and rocking the other two in bouncers near their feet. Now that's what I call multi-tasking! I can tell they really love the babies. When I pick him up, Sue always tells Catch, "God Bless You, Catch." It is the most adorable thing ever! There are two other women who work with Catch occasionally - Danielle and Brittany. They are also great. I can always tell when they greet him good morning that they are genuinely excited to see him.

Catch has also found a friend! Carter is a few hours older than Catch. His mom, Kristy, had him at the same hospital as Catch. As I was waddling in to be induced, she was resting with Carter in her arms. He is so adorable and sweet. They may not know it, but they will be great friends! :0)

I'd love to be at home with Catch, but since I can't, I'm glad I found a wonderful place for him to go.

How precious is Carter?!

I think he adds a layer of chin every week! ;0)

A Relaxing Weekend

Don't you just love the weekends where you have no plans?! This weekend Chris, Catch, my mom, and I enjoyed the beautiful weather. I was sick on Friday, so Chris had to feed Catch with a bottle before bed. Let me just tell you, Catch was not a happy camper! He uses me as a way to fall asleep and this threw things off a bit. However, we managed and it was good for him and us.

Chris said he heard Catch really laugh this weekend. I missed it though. :0( Catch is making all sorts of sounds and it so entertaining just to listen and watch all his facial expressions. I've heard him giggle, but I guess this was a real laugh. Hopefully, I'll hear it soon.

We took Catch to Chris's baseball game on Sunday and he enjoyed it for a bit. It was beautiful weather; in fact, it was a little too cool for Catch. I let him roll around on a blanket, but once I saw bugs on it, that was the end of that. I guess I'm still pretty paranoid. That probaby won't change much though. ;0)


Catch and me dancing around the living room. He absolutely loves for us to dance with him. It puts him to sleep every time. This time I actually wanted him to stay awake, but not a chance. He was out for a couple hours.


How cute is this onesie?!
Looks like he got Mama's wide-eyed look.
Poor baby!


Chris threw a sock to Catch, but he didn't catch it. ;0)

He's always happy in daddy's arms.
