Our Smiley Little girl

Katelyn is just the happiest little girl, and we love it!


She is growing up so fast and doing so much on her own now.

She can:

-Now reach the monkeys hanging on the mobile in her pack n play AND pull them off. I woke up from my nap earlier to the sound of her pulling one off. (They velcro on and hang down)

-She can pick up and pull the toys to her face (more her mouth) when I set them on her lap or tummy.
-She can sit upright without falling back when we sit her in her boppy.

-She grabs my hair ALL the time. It hurts and I'm losing a lot. I'll find strands in her hands randomly. I thought maybe I should cut it, but there's no way I'm going to because I've been trying to grow it out for awhile now.

-She starting to not like to go in her carseat, but once her and mommy get to our destination she loves it. Like when I took her to hobby lobby and she was excited to see everything especially because she didn't have to stay in her carseat she got to sit in the carriers built into the carts. She was laughing through the aisles and a lady was laughing at how cute she was haha.

-She's taking less naps and wanting to stay awake much longer throughout the day. A lot of that time she wants me playing with her so that's something I'm trying to get used to as well as find time to do other things.

Pause from all the writing (I just think this picture is so cute!) We were going for a walk in CO)

-She's getting too big for a lot of her newborn clothes :( I'll probably cry when I finally give in and pack them up and pull out more 3-6 month clothes. I just can't believe how tiny she used to be how we'd roll up the pants on her and now they are becoming floods on her. Oh well! At least we know she's growing :).....

-She weighs 11 lbs. 2 oz. :) I took her in to the doctor because she had a cough. The doctor said she looked alright and to just watch it to make sure it doesn't get worse. whew!

-She'll be 3 and a 1/2 months on Thursday the 15th... and speaking of that.. that's my brothers 23rd birthday! Wow. :)

-And last but not least.. she can say hi. No, um I don't think she's really saying it haha, but I swear it sounds like HI! She goes... in a really high pitched voice Hiiiiiaaa. It's so cute. And then now lately when I change her diaper and wipe her she's go AAAaaH, (most likely because it's so cold.. I don't know how those babies handle life!) it's so cute.

Alright well, I think we might go for a walk because the weather has been great. Hopefully my other pictures will be here on Tuesday and my sis can scan them over to us :) I can't wait to see them! Bye!

Photoshoot

Spring Has Sprung Everyone!

Well, at least that's what it feels like for me out here in Oklahoma. The weather has been wonderful lately! And Katelyn, Nick, and I have definitely taken advantage and gone out for walks in the beautiful weather. Yesterday it was a beautiful Easter Sunday. We were invited over for a wonderful Easter dinner. It was great. Conference was also wonderful- it is every time.

Katelyn is growing up so much. She'll bring her toys up to her mouth when I set them on her tummy now. She makes noises all the time when she's playing on the floor. She's still sucking her thumb and hands and toys and anything else she can get into her mouth. I know she doesn't mean to (or at least I think she doesn't!) but she ALWAYS grabs my hair now. She'll hold on for the life of her and she'll be pulling my hair out while i'm trying to open her little fists. Silly girl. We took a couple of pictures of her yesterday. It was so hot I decided to take her clothes off. I love it when she's just in her diaper, she looks so cute haha.

pictures!

I love pictures! We had two sessions for Katelyn. One in Utah and then one today out here in Oklahoma. We have the ones from today they turned out great! We can't scan them in yet, but as soon as we can I will and will post them! :) I can't wait to see how the ones from Utah turn out. :)

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
