It's Katy's World - We're Just Living In It: April 2007

It has been awhile since we last posted, and Katy is growing and changing everyday. I will do my best to recap the “Katy” events of March and April:
A lot has happened and Katy has learned many new things. Katy has learned to sit up all by herself now – and not just for a short time…but for pretty long lengths of time. Crawling is coming soon! She can basically make a circle and get around a little. But not a full out crawl yet. She has also learned to roll over…well she gets to her tummy and then can’t really get back to her back. (and vice versa) But she is working on it. Katy has also learned LOTS of new sounds. Lots of squealing!! Katy received her first tooth (bottom front-right) for Easter. Her next tooth (bottom front-left) has begun to poke through and should be here soon! She has started eating rice cereal and pureed fruits. She went bowling in March with the youth group. She also played Putt Putt with her mom and dad in Ruidoso, NM. Katy took a trip with her mommy and daddy to her Great-Grandparents (Bonnells) in late March. Katy and her parents spent five days at their house in High Rolls, NM enjoying the mountains and beautiful views. Katy had a WONDERFUL time getting to play with her Great Grandma Sue and Great Grandpa Dorsey. Katy did lots of fun things during her visit including a trip to the Alamogordo Zoo and Ruidoso. Once Katy and her folks left High Rolls, they stopped in Roswell to visit more of her great grandparents (The Prestons). Katy had a GREAT time getting to visit with her Great Grandma “Grammie” and Great Grandpa “Pappa”. After visiting with her great grandparents, Katy met some friends and their parents for dinner. (The Steven’s Family). Then Katy and her parents drove to her Grandparents (Spitsberg) house in Farwell, TX. But there were lots of bad storms and tornadoes that night…so Katy and her mom and dad had to be really careful driving there and even had to take a 50 mile detour to get to their house…since the tornadoes had caused so much damage on the regular route. Katy and her family felt very blessed that they stayed safe. They were really close to the tornadoes…but God protected them. Finally, they got to Katy’s grandparents house safe and sound and spent the weekend visiting with Grandma Tena and Grandpa Scott. Katy’s Uncle Matthew drove over from Lubbock, TX to come and visit with Katy. She loves her Uncle Matthew and was SO VERY HAPPY to see him. She even wore her special Texas Tech shirt that he gave her. (Katy’s Mommy and Daddy still say GO NMSU!!) Katy was really wiped out by the end of her long trip. But she loved visiting with everyone.
Katy’s friends Lilia and Cecily (and their parents) just moved to Albuquerque in late March and Katy is really excited. (Her mommy and daddy are too!!) She already got to play with them lots of times and even invited Lilia and Cecily and their mommy, Jennifer, to go to the zoo. Katy had a great time! Easter was super fun for Katy. She had to attend lots of church services for Holy Week and Easter….but never complained. While the Easter bunny didn’t bring candy or toys, he did bring Katy’s grandparents: Jan and James to come see her. They even got to stay with Katy while her parents took the church youth to a concert. She had lots of fun while her grandparents were in town. Easter afternoon Katy attended her first birthday party for her friend Lilia who turned 4! She had a great time playing. Katy and her friend Cecily (they are best friends…they just don’t know it yet) really had a fun time with each other. Cecily is older (she is 1yr.+ ) than Katy and really wanted Katy to crawl with her!! Soon enough Katy can crawl after her. Katy continues to stay extra busy…and her mommy promises to be better about updated her blog more often!!
Hopefully, the following pictures will help catch you up on what is going on.
