Aaron and Johnna's Sweet Life In Alabama

I love you, Daddy!

After bathtime, Catherine holds on to Daddy while he dresses her.

My two favorite people on earth! Aaron and Catherine! I love you, Aaron and Catherine! And you can tell, Daddy loves Catherine and Catherine LOVES her Daddy!

In Texas, Catherine really enjoyed sitting in Austin's little seat. It was just perfect for her size. I think she felt like a big girl when she sat in it. When we got home, our travel booster seat was out in the floor and she started to climb on it. The thought occured to me that she might enjoy just sitting in the seat. So, I sat it up in the living room, and sure enough Catherine loved it!

Thirty minutes later, she was still loving it and was trying to convince her baby to love it too! Now whenver she goes into the living room, she goes to her seat to hang out. It's so cute how proud she is of her little seat!

Yup, more laundry! (August 1)

Catherine is REALLY into putting things on her head. She constantly keeps me laughing at what all she finds to try on.

Who says pants are just for your legs!?

Helping fold laundry (July 30)

Catherine loves to put things on her head -- especially the laundry!

Catherine tries to escape with her new hat -- a dish cloth! -- or is she pretending that the dishcloth is hair? :) (You Green girls will appreciate that!)

Our beautiful Catherine!

Precious little toes

"This photshoot makes me sleepy!"

What a sweet baby in a soft, cozy blanket!

More C.E.C. Fun! (July 27)

Face to face with the man himself. Catherine liked the mechanical Chuck E. Cheese until he turned and looked at her!! Then she was quite scared. I can't really blame her. hee hee!

Beautiful Joann and Ariana hanging out.

Luke takes on John David at basketball. I don't think this is a fair matchup.

Uncle Scott referees Luke and Austin's air hockey game.

Fun at Chuck E. Cheese in Texas! (July 27, 2007)

We all went to Chuck E. Cheese on Friday for lunch. This was Catherine's 2nd visit to C.E.C.'s, but only her first time to be able to play.
She LOVED the kiddie rides. Here she is with Chuck E. Cheese himself on the photo ride!

Here she is with Barney!

Beep Beep! Get out of my way!

She takes this driving thing seriously -- especially while riding with Bob the Builder!
Catherine would scream and be mad whenever we would leave a ride. She had such a good time on those rides!!!

Cousins!

The 5 cousins on my (Johnna's) side of the family:
John David (1), Luke (3), Austin (2), Catherine (1), and Ariana (4 days old in this pic)

Catherine and Ariana (and Dart)

Catherine loves baby Ariana (as long as Mommy doesn't have her -- see earlier post).

Whenever she sees her, she hurries to crawl to her.

Look out Ariana! Catherine's gonna get you!

Catherine was afraid of Scott & Joann's dog, Dart and their cat, Caboodle. She would scream in terror whenever she saw them. Thankfully, we helped calm Catheirne's fears by letting her pet the dog and cat. The dog and cat were very agreeable to letting her pet them, and so the friendships began. She LOVED the cat and dog by the time we left. She would call out whenever she saw them.

Moire Texas Fun!

Catherine eventually loved Austin's tunnel. She loved crawling through to the other side.

She especially loved Austin's electronic train. She would crawl over to it and climb on. She is definitely a climber! I would help her ride around the track. Choo Choo!!!

One of Catherine's favorite toys, oddly enough, was Ariana's Car seat! She loved climbing into it and just sit there. Here, she is letting her baby sit with her in the seat!
