Baby videos

I forgot the baby videos that we took. The first one is of Katie giggling as the kids danced for her. Peter can get her to laugh anytime he wants by boucing around like Tigger. It is a long video with only a few good parts but worth the time - pay attention right as it starts for the little giggles. The quality stinks because my camera is still on the fritz - hint hint to Bob that my birthday is coming up!

This video is of Annie just being Annie. She gives the sweetest little kisses - puckering up and making a kissing noise while sticking her tongue out. I have been trying endlessly to get it on video but have failed miserably. I was trying to get it on tape once again when she just started clowning around with me. She is such a lovebug but I warn you another long video with limited results except if you are totally and absolutely in love with Annie - then the mere sight of her chubby baby fingers pointing at the camera is enough to make it worthwhile. GNM - ILY!

Katie - Time!

We finally got some Katie time while Karla and Pat went to a party Saturday night. We were exhausted from a day at the Irish Festival but how could this kid not perk you right up. I don't think we were quite as exhausted as Pat and Karla who were on their 3rd party for the day. Katie was smiley and cuddly and her cousins got to stay up late to play with her. Sometimes the adults are all vying for Katie so my kids haven't had much time to hold Katie since she got here in March but they made up for it by giving us a run for our money when we tried to get her back from them. Notice there are no pictures of Annie with Katie - I am quite sure that the one picture we took of them together would prevent us from ever being able to babysit again if it were viewed by Pat and Karla so...........

Molly is so maternal - she just loved being with Katie. I also think they look a bit alike in this picture - their coloring is very similar and they're both beauties! Molly commented that she wasn't sure if she loved Katie so much because she was cute or because she reminded her so much of Abby - what a sweetheart!
Peter and a very happy Katie - he has a way of making her smile just be talking - it must be that deep voice!
Peter and Molly with a concerned Katie - this was during a break in the Hannah Montana concert so I'm sure she was a bit concerned that they might drop her the second the commercial was over!

Ou happy niece - I love those eyes!
More Katie!
And more......
I couldn't help myself - she was just making it so easy to snap away!
After this she slept in my arms for a half hour, had a bottle and then laid on her godfather's chest and snoozed until Pat and Karla came home. He was in heaven!

We LOVED having Katie (hint hint) she was a little angel!

GNM - ILY!

Glued to the TV after a long day at the Irish Festival!

So the kids are glued - not even breathing glued - to the television watching the Hannah Montana 3-D concert on the Disney Channel and Bob and I are waiting for Katie to get here so I thought I'd share our fun day at the Irish Festival with you. We meant to get there for lunch at noon but ended up getting there close to 3 and picked up a straggler along the way - KK. It was very hot but there were sno-cones and cold waters all over the place so we made it through. The kids had a blast and kept KK running.

Banana was fussing a bit this morning while eating breakfast so Molly propped her little Molly dog up next to her - it worked!
On their way from the parking lot the kids and KK got a ride on the golf cart - they loved it!
Annie expressing her annoyance with Mommy's choice of lunch! This was her frustrated "all done" sign. She knows almost 10 signs now and uses them alot. She does "more, milk, mommy, daddy, all done, help, please, thank you" and a few other signs randomly. I am comitted to her learning them but Bob and I both think she is going to be very verbal very quickly - if she can get a word in edgewise!
Molly and Annie at the Irish festival - I totally forgot to dress everyone in green and we were the ONLY ones there not dressed in green or cute little t-shirts.
Daddy took the kids on the scrambler - Molly was in heaven!

Molly playing in the balls on one of the obstacle courses.
Peter and Molly having fun in the balls - Peter was technically too big for almost every ride there but nobody said anything. Look at Molly's face and smile as she finally gets Peter to agree to ride the motorcycles with her.
My Irish boys!

Bob and Annie dancing together - she loves to sing (or screech) and dance.
The kids playing on the dance floor during a break in the music.
My girl having fun on the dance floor. I think she looks so cute in this dress.
Annie waving to an old guy who refused to give her the time of day.
Annie wanting "more" music - now if only everyone did everything she wanted when she wanted.

Moly girl enjoying the music.
KK kissing an annoyed Annie - my girl just wants to dance.
Peter and his new friend Nick.
Daddy and his girls dancing.
Everyone was sweaty from dancing so much but they had a great time. We left a little early so that we could get home and be here for Katie when she got here - right now she is snoozing away in her seat next to me - that will last 5 seconds after I'm done blogging. I know I still owe Newport pictures but I am tired and have a baby to hold - let me clarify - a baby who likes to be held unlike Annie who always wants to be on the move now! I'm off to watch my beautiful kids in their 3-d glasses shaped like frogs and motorcycles (thank you, KK, for finding the $1.00 version of the glasses rather than the HM brand.)

GNM - ILY!
