Happy Easter!

Here are some cute pictures of Katelin. She'll be one year old on April 18th. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.

Visit to Oregon...Katelin 11 Months

Just got back from visiting Grandma and Grandpa Spencer in Tillamook, and Katelin had a blast. She got to see all her cousins and her friend Landon. Up until today, she was a "scaredycat" as far as taking steps on her own. Well, I think she got the idea by watching all her 2 and 3 year old cousins that walking is the way to go! Today after church, she took 4 steps on her own and every few hours we'd try again and she'd take another couple steps. I'm sure by Friday, she'll be running around the house!

Here are some cute pictures of Katelin getting ready to go to the pool at the hotel, and some Sunday pictures in a new Spring dress. She's getting so big and grown up...and we think the cutest thing ever!

Springtime is almost here!

We are so excited for spring to come. Its been a very cold and snowy winter, which means lots of time couped up inside the house. Katelin loves being outside and we've ventured out on the deck for our few 50+ degree weather days, but there have only been a couple. We're anxious for winter to be over.

A little late, but "Happy Valentine's Day"

Bathtime for Katelin!

A quick update on the Norton family...this past month has brought a few changes in our household. We found out we are expecting our 2nd baby...due September 7th. And no, it wasn't an accident! New baby and Katelin will be about 17 months apart.

Katelin decided about a week ago she didn't want to nurse anymore, and for a baby that wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with a bottle or formula, she is now fully weaned and drinks from a bottle like a pro. I was flabergasted! Some may say she takes after me in that we don't really know what to expect from her!

She is also so close to walking on her own. She tries so hard to stand on her own, and she walks along everything she can grab ahold to. I'm sure it will only a couple more weeks now. She will be 10 months old on the 18th and is growing waaaaaay to quickly. She is such a silly little girl. She loves to play with her toys and talk to them and, I think, telling them stories. She also is a GREAT sleeper. We've got her trained now to go to sleep on her own and she sleep usually between 11-12 hours a night straight through. She's just about to the point where she only takes one nap a day (which I'm not looking forward to...I enjoy the quiet time!).

Here are some adorable pictures of bathtime...her favorite time of the day. She loves to "swim" in the tub and play with the Sesame Street toys.

Baby Norton!

Anyone who hasn't already heard, we are expecting our 2nd baby. Due date is officially September 7th.





We'll keep you posted on the updates when we get any!

Merry Christmas!

Katelin's first Christmas was spent at Grandma & Grandpa Spencer's house in Tillamook. She had so much fun. Got lots of toys, but was mostly delighted by the package bows!

Cousin Chloe, Katelin and cousin Abby in their pretty Christmas dresses. Abby and Chloe just LOVE Katelin to pieces!

"I know...I'm just so pretty."

Katelin thought this soccer ball was the funniest thing on the planet. She giggled harder than I've ever seen her giggle before!

"Feed me momma!"

She's getting to be such a big girl now. A real pro with her sippy cup.

Katelin's first Oregon coast adventure.

"Oooh. Its so windy AND cold...

...but I still love it!"

"Pack me up Daddy. I'm ready to go home!"

Crawling with Katelin

"Look at me. I'm such a big girl now!"
She's finally crawling - army style anyway.

"My first pigtail. I finally have enough hair for one!"

"Mmmm, yum."
"Its not crackers, but just as good!"
Our first snow day. Katelin was so excited.
Practicing her pushups!
"Look at me. I can crawl up the step now. Look out stairs. Here I come!"

Katelin 7 Months Old!

Eric says this is Katelin's "President Hinckley smile" since she's smiling only showing her lower gums!

Thanksgiving at our house. All except Adam and Lynsay were there. Katelin had a ball!

"I know...I am the cutest thing!"

"Merry Christmas everyone."

Katelin 6 Months Old

Katelin's 6 Month Old pictures. She didn't feel like smiling much that day...but she's still super cute!

Happy Halloween!

Daddy and Katelin at the Parma "Trunk or Treat."
"This is my first Halloween. I'm so excited...or cold. Not quite sure which."
A pumpkin and a strawberry...but the strawberry is cuter!
Katelin loved being a strawberry for Halloween. She especially loved looking at all the other kids' costumes.
