Happy 1 month Kate!

Yesterday, Kate turned 1 month old--- can you believe it?!
We went to the Dr. on Friday afternoon for Kate's 1 month check up. She now weighs 9 pounds and 14 ounces! She loves her some milk :) She is also 21 and 3/4 inches long. Our little baby isn't so little anymore!! Here are a few of the silly nicknames we have been calling Kate over the past month.
- Katie Kate Kate
- Miss Kate
- Kater
- Katerton
- Kater Roo (that is Grandpa's name for her)
- baby bird
- little love bug
-Robin (Erik's dad's nickname for Kate)
Erik is so embarrassed that I actually put those on here. However, I am the one that blogs and I think it will be amusing to look back at this list one day and remember when she was such a little baby.

We have had a really good weekend and Kate got to meet some of our dear friends. On Friday we went to our small group Christmas party at Erin and Phillips house. We had a wonderful time--great friends and yummy food really put us in the Christmas spirit. Of course, we had to put Miss Kate in her little Christmas dress. Mimi even found her some tights and adorable shoes. At the party, Kate got to meet Laura and Scott's precious baby Carter. He is only 7 weeks older than Kate and we think they are going to be good friends.

Ready for the party!

Another highlight from the weekend was one of my best friends, Kristin, coming to visit. She drove in from Dallas and spent the weekend with us. She loved Kate, and was so good with her. Kristin and I had a nice lunch date and ran to Target on Saturday. It is always nice to get out and about! Thanks for coming Kris!!

Saturday night we had Melissa and Scott come over to the house. Melissa, Kristin and I all grew up playing soccer together and it was so fun getting together. Their baby Carter (yes another Carter) also came along. He is 8 months old and simply the cutest thing! It was really fun catching up and talking all about our babies.

We ended our weekend by a trip to Schindewolf Lane. Kate loved napping on Grandmother Schindewolf and Grandmother absolutely loved loving on Kate. She was so content and quiet over there. As I am typing this, she is screaming her head off in her daddy's arms. I think Kate wants to get back to Grandmother Schindewolf!!

Cute Cousins!

Thanks for reading!
