Katelyn is 9 months old now!

Here she is with her uncles!

Katelyn turns 8 months today!

Well today is October 7th. Eight months ago baby Katelyn was born. Last week she started crawling and there is no stopping her now. Her two front teeth have been out since she was 6 months. She has been trying to speak to us by saying "da da da da" and "ma ma ma ma" but lately she' been saying "pa pa pa pa" also.

My next purchase will be one of those seats that go on the handle bars on the bikes. I've seen people riding their kids on them. I will also have to get her a helmet. I can't wait to start riding my bike with her!

It's been a while

It's been a while since I have updated this. Katelyn was born on 2/7/2009 weighing in at 6.12 lbs. in Upland, CA. She was born with lots of hair! She's been my morning sunshine. Every morning when I wake up I get to see her smiling face (after a dirty diaper and a bottle of course haha). She loves to laugh every morning and I really enjoy her laughs. Her favorite thing is to be picked up in the air as she was flying. I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father for sending me such a wonderful little creature. I am grateful to have been trusted with her special soul. I will do my best to be the best dad and teach her to chose wisely. I have a strong feeling that she is going to bring happiness to many people through her personality.

The Nursery for Katelyn

We have finished Baby Katelyns room. We are anxious to be able to bring her home to her new room full of love and joy. We are so fortunate to have great parents on both sides who have helped us create this dream room for our baby!

Baby Katelyn 3D

Yesterday we had the great opportunity to see Katelyn through a 3D ultrasound. She was sleeping most of the time so it made it hard to capture a picture of her. She was snuggled up next to the placenta and facing away from us. We did get a couple good pictures. Art, my mom, and sisters Krystal and Roz were there to share the wonderful moment with me. In the picture : Katelyn's eye is the first thing you can see, then her nose and mouth. Her hand is on the right side of her face. She is already head down and ready to come out. My mom says she looks just like me when I was a baby. :) I cant wait till she comes!

Theres are 3 pictures posted above. The first is her and her heart beat sound waves. It was amazing. The second is her with her head facing towards us. It looks crazy because its 2D. In the 3D picture (colored) : Its a profile picture. Katelyn's eye is the first thing you can see, then her nose and mouth. Her hand is on the right side of her face by her cheek and mouth. How cute!

8 Weeks to go!

I can't believe that I have been pregnant for 32 weeks (8 months) already! It is amazing how fast (but slow at other times) the time has gone by. In a short time Art and I will be welcoming our baby girl Katelyn into the world. I often wonder what she is going to look like or when she can talk, what is her personality going to be like. I hope she takes after Art alot because he has the best qualities in a person. We are so happy to be able to have a daughter comming so soon!

2008 Nike Woman's Marathon in San Francisco.

Amber, her sister Krystal and her husband Danny signed up for this marathon a while back...back before Krystal and Amber found out they were pregnant. So Amber and Krystal opted for the half marathon instead. I am still impressed that they ran 13 miles while 6 months pregnant. The cool thing was that it was in San Francisco so we managed to make it a small vacation too.






















Nike posted the names of all the runners on their wall facing Union Square. We found Amber's name way up in the top
