First Steps!

Catie took her first steps this weekend. She surprised me in this first video because I didn't think that she would walk on her first try, but she did.

Here Catie is standing on her own and even dances a little.

First time eating with a fork.

This is one of our favorite videos. Catie loves the Laurie Berkner band and gets so excited when we put it in. Then as soon as the music starts she just freezes because she's fascinated by it.

Catie's Favorite Things

Catie is becoming more and more fun every day. She loves waving, running away from us, being tickled, looking at books (she spends ALL day with books), and discovering new ways to play with her toys. We have so much fun together.

Fishing Tournament and Chris' Parents

Chris' parents came to visit a couple of weeks ago. While they were here we drove down to Winona for Chris and his dad to compete in a fishing tournament (which Chris happened to win - I'm so proud of him!) Catie's proud of him too and plays with his fishing rods whenever he leaves them out.

This picture is of when Chris was feeding her and she got bananas smeared all throughout her hair, making it a little spiky.

Nauvoo

This past week Chris had a bass fishing tournament in Fort Madison, Iowa (he's on the MN state team). It's just across the river from Nauvoo, so while he was fishing Catie and I saw the sights. She's 9-months-old now and is so much fun. Every tour guide we met just fell in love with her.

Catie just cut her first tooth. You can see it in this picture.
