Seven Months Old!

Okay, so technically, Katelin is not 7 months old... yet. Maybe by the time you read this :) Katelin will be 7 months old on Thanksgiving but things may get a little crazy around here after today so I thought I would post now. I can't believe she's (just about) 7 months old already. Time is sure flying. Maybe I should start planning her first birthday party now! Save the date.. April 26th, 2009! Okay, maybe I'm getting a little carried away. Maybe I should sit back and enjoy all the other babies' first birthday parties. I have two in December alone!

As far as a Katelin update... she's doing great (as always!). She started waving and saying something that resembled 'Hi' around Halloween. Around the middle of November, she started with "ma mam mam mam ma". She repeats it over and over. Supposedly, I can't count either as her first word since she does them randomly and doesn't know what they mean. Whatever! We're trying for "dada" but no luck on that. Chris will tell her "say dada" after a round of "mamas" and she'll look at him and blow a rasberry (stick her tounge out and blow some spit at you!). So cute. She's mama's little girl!

Last week was the last week I had to work ALL 3 days (I know... what agony.. 3 WHOLE days!). I'm off tomorrow for Thanksgiving and then I'm off at least one of my normal 3 days every week in December. While I would love to sit around on my days off and eat bon-bons, it won't be so.
Tonight, I'm making an apple pie... from scratch! At first, I was going to buy a store-made, bakery pie. Then I thought, hey, it is Thanksgiving, I should at least bake a pie pre-made, frozen pie. That turned into making a pie but using a store-bought crust and now, I've decided to go all out and make the crust. I've never made a pie crust before so I hope it turns out good! I'm feeling all Suzie-Homemaker this week.
Thursday night/Friday morning, Chris and I are hitting Haggar at midnight so he can stock up on clothes. I'd say about 80% of his clothes come from the Haggar holiday sales. Great clothes at an unbeatable price. We get coupons every holiday weekend for 25% off the total purchase but at Thanksgiving, until 10am on Friday, we get 40% off! Love it.
Friday morning I'm hitting a few stores (at 5am) and then heading back to sleep for a couple hours. Chris will have Katelin duty (I should probably tell him that!). Then Friday afternoon, we're headed to Brownswood Texas for a family reunion on Chris' dad's side. We'll be back Saturday night.
Okay, I've rambled on long enough... more later!
