6 months old!
Katelin turned 6 months old on Monday! I can't believe how fast the months have gone by. She goes back to the doctor on Friday so I'll update her stats on here afterwards. Just wanted to post a couple cute pictures...

Time Flies!
I can't believe how quickly the time goes by! I have all these goals of things to get done on my days off but I don't seem to accomplish very much! Organizing my pictures and updating my blog tend to fall to the bottom of the list.
Katelin is over 4 months old now. At her 4 month apt on September 2nd, she was 24 1/2 inches long and 14.6 pounds. She's still wearing most of her 0-3 month clothes although I've had to retire some already. Her 6 month appointment is on Halloween.
On Sept 7th, we started giving Katelin rice cereal. She's actually doing pretty good with the spoon. She still gets food all over her mouth, but a lot of the food goes in (and stays in) her mouth. Last weekend, I made up a bunch of baby food for her. I baked butternut squash, acorn squash, pears, and apples for her and then pureed them (separately) in the blender. We started her on the butternut squash on the 13th and she seemed to liked it. Everything else was frozen in ice cube trays so we now have over 100 frozen cubes of baby food :)! There are so many preservatives in the jar food and the cost difference is incredible. I'm not sure how much I spent on the veggies & fruit but it couldn't have been much. Not only am I saving money and feeding her preservative free foods, it is also "green-er". Even though I recycle everything I can, there is still waste in buying packaged baby food. If I remember to take my reusable grocery sacks into the store, the only waste is the fruit/veggie skin and the stickers they put on them. I have thought about composting or starting a "worm farm" but I just haven't gotten around to it. I need something easy and I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with the compost.
Katelin rolls over all the time now. She usually manages to roll-over during the night and winds up sleeping on her stomach. The first few days, she'd get her arms stuck under her and start crying in the middle of the night.
I started Baby Boot Camp a couple weeks ago. It is a great fitness class for new & expecting moms (& dads). The class is really answers some of the problems that keep new moms from the gym. Katelin comes with and enjoys watching mom sweat while she's all comfy in her stroller. If your baby needs to be fed, changed, or just wants a little attention, they understand and you just catch up when you're ready. The classes are really tough. Most of the moms have been going for a year or more so I'm the newbie that can't keep up. I'm so out of shape! We also finally set up our new elliptical machine but I haven't used it yet. One of these days!
Okay, this post is getting really long and I'm sure I'm just rambling now! I'm too tired to think anymore so I'm headed to bed!
I'll post some new pictures one of these days!

More Pictures
Here are some "new" pictures of Katelin... some are a month old, but still super cute!
Life has been pretty busy lately.
My parents were in town for about 2 weeks. Katelin had lots of grandma and grandpa time!
I went back to work on July 21st. Everyone is really glad I'm back.. I'm pretty sure they were just waiting for me to come back so they could pass several big changes my way. There were two big changes in the works when I left and I thought they would be done before I get back but due to the ever changing priorities, they were just waiting for me to return. Fun!
On the 29th, one of my bowling friends from NJ came into town for work and we were able to meet for lunch. I usually only get to see her once a year at the national tournament we go to so it was great to see her.
We had the Dallas Summer Boat show the last two weekends in July. Luckily I didn't have to work it too much. I had to tow and help set up/pack up. Katelin went and wore her "boat show" polo (see pictures in the link above). She's just so cute!
The first weekend in August, we had the Mariah and Sea Fox dealer meeting (we just picked up those two lines in June). We flew out to Charleston on the 31st and came home on the 4th. Nice long weekend. While we were gone, Dallas had a heat wave (108 degree days!) so we were gone at a good time! It was pretty warm and humid out on the coast though. We were very hot and sticky when we spent any time outside. We got to check out (and drive) some of the new boats and of course, Katelin was adored by all! On Monday, we rented a car and drove around. We had lunch at Sticky Fingers... really good ribs! If you're ever around one, I highly recommend it.
Since we got back from Charleston, I've been working a lot and trying to recuperate, get unpacked from the trip, and getting caught up with laundry. Since we were gone Monday, I had to work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (7am-6pm). I was soooooo tired by Thursday night! I still don't know that I'm caught up yet. I'm off tomorrow though so I'll get to relax a little more.
Well, I guess I should wrap up my random ramblings here and get to bed. Katelin was doing so well sleeping until 6am or later but now she's started waking up around 3 or 4am!

Quick Picture from our trip...
I just found a cool site for making online scrapbook pages! Scrapblog
It lets you be completely creative without all the cutting & glue-ing! And they have templates for the not-so-creative!
I made this page in about 5 minutes :)

I'll try to post more about our trip this weekend.
