3 months

I can't believe Katelyn is 3 months old today. When people would tell me "they grow so fast" I really didn't think she would grow this fast.

She has found out quite a bit more in the last month. Two things I think she now realizes she has are 1. A thumb & 2. Feet. Haha, it's so funny to see her wide eyes curiously look down at her feet. She started sucking at her hand and thumb a couple weeks ago and it's adorable, but I definitely don't want her to be a thumb sucker. I'll pull it out of her mouth and she'll just pull it right back up.

She loves going on walks. She just sits there and stares at everything. She looks so small in the stroller.

She loves getting her diaper changed. She'll smile and laugh sometimes... don't ask me why, but hey, I'm not going to complain.

She doesn't like to be held laying in your arms or she'll fuss. She likes to be held upright and faced out so she can see everything.

She got some pictures taken the other day! They all looked so cute! Unfortunately we were only able to choose two poses because the package was free, but that's better than nothing. I can't wait to see them!

For the past two weeks we were out of town visiting Colorado and Utah. She did great on all of the plane rides except for the first one. I think it was just a learning experience for us though because it was the first time we had flown with her.

Here are some pictures from our trip. I don't have any from Utah yet because Nick brought the camera home while I was out there, so I will have to get pictures from my family.

I'm a big girl now.. :)

I think this is SO cute. Lately we've been helping Katelyn hold her bottle. She will open up her little fingers and just hold it for herself with out any help. She is such a cutie! I'm sure she has no idea what she's doing, but the fact that she will just open her hands up and hold them there with out moving them to hold her bottle is pretty impressive to me! :) Katelyn and I have been in Utah and we can't wait to go back home tomorrow and see daddy! WE LOVE YOU DAD.

She also has been recognizing me a lot more lately. I think I've noticed it more recently because a lot of people have been holding her and I think she gets a little overwhelmed. She will turn to my voice and she will spot me and follow me around the room. Notice she is staring at me in all of the pictures?

Katelyn's Blessing

This past Sunday, March 14th, we were able to bless our sweet little baby girl, Katelyn Marie Jensen. She did so well and it was such a wonderful day. We blessed her in my in-laws ward out in Colorado. My family was able to fly out for it- Lu, Isaac, AJ, Nathan, and Mom and Dad. All of Nick's family was also able to be there. Hayley and Alex flew out from Utah, Daniel, Julie, and Leila came down from Denver, and his little sister Syd was there along with his parents. It was really nice to have everyone together to be there for such a special occasion.

We got quite a few pictures, they are so cute! The ones I love most are the ones of her and her first little cousin Leila. Leila is about 7 months older than Katelyn and it was so cute the first time they saw each other. Katelyn just kind of stared and Leila seemed at first like she didn't know what to do but right after she was laughing and playing and trying to touch Katelyn.

During picture time we sat them next to each other and they both just stared not knowing what to do. It was so funny. We were all just laughing and taking tons of pictures of them. They are so cute!

Beautiful little Katelyn

10 weeks old

Yesterday Katelyn turned 10 weeks old. I cannot believe how fast time flies. She is still my tiny little baby girl though and always will be.

Some of my favorite things to do with Katelyn are:

-Making her smile (she likes it when I buzz my lips or sing to destiny's child survivor song, I think she's just laughing at how silly I sound.)

-Putting her to bed (I have to hold her little hands and her eyes get very big and she'll just stare at me for awhile, until eventually her eyes slowly start to shut then she falls asleep. She's such a good baby.)

-Taking her for walks with daddy (when the weather is warm enough!)

-Cuddling with her in bed (she lies on Nick's pillow next to me and we snuggle)

-Dressing her up all fancy (I love the little flowers/headbands/bracelets.. if you can't tell)

She is just the cutest little girl. We have a good time together and we sure wish we had more time to spend with daddy. When I was ten weeks pregnant with her I had my first doctor's visit. That's when we first saw our baby girl. First heard her heartbeat. For the first time it felt real. Now she is here and ten weeks old.

Katelyn!

4 days until spring break!!!!!!

Good Girl Katelyn!!!

Ok, so lately Nick and I have been trying to help Katelyn learn how to roll from her tummy to her back. She does so great! She has to have her arm tucked under though in order to roll back over, if she gets it out (which sometimes she does) it's harder and she can't roll back. But.. today we were practicing and she did it! It may not look like much, but I'm so proud of her. She's learning how to use her little body. :)

Just tune out my cheering in the background. It's embarrassing, but she likes it when mommy cheers her on. :) haha. Here she is!

2 months!!

Katelyn is two months old! I don't really know what day she turned two months.. because there were not 30 days in February, but it is March already, so she has to be two months! :) I haven't taken any recent pictures because our camera died, but I'll be taking some 2 month pictures soon. 

She is just the cutest little girl. She's looking at me right now just kicking her little legs and moving her arms and kind of laughing. She's a happy little girl. At her 2 month appointment she weighed 10 lbs. 1 oz. and was 22 and 1/2 inches long! So since her birth day she has gained almost 4 pounds! And she grew 3 & 1/2 inches. I think that's incredible.

I like the picture to the left. We were going to check the mail one day so I bundled her up in her snow suit (even though it wasn't snowing and hasn't for awhile.. thank goodness) but I thought she looked so cute in it so I took a pic! 

She definitely is getting bigger. She doesn't look so tiny in her car seat anymore. Her legs now pass the little mat where her thighs are supposed to be.. but before her feet barely met the edge. She likes to move her hands a lot more. She plays with the monkey's and other toys in her pack in play that hang down over her. It keeps her entertained. :)

In 9 days we get something we never got at BYU- SPRING BREAK!! I can't wait. First we are going to colorado to Nick's parents' house. My family will fly out to do Katelyn's baby blessing. Then we'll relax for a week then Nicholas has to go back to school again. I will be flying from colorado to Utah to visit my family the following week. I can't wait! It will be nice for Katelyn to see everyone again, and for a few people, see her for the first time!
