Kohlston WALKS more :)

HIT PLAY! Here's a short clip of Kohlston walking :) It's really hard to capture a good video because I have to back up a little ways to view his whole body. He is hesitant when I'm too far away but this is a better video than the last one. He walked all the way across the living room shortly before I shot this. He'll be 10 months on Friday :)

Presenting: KOHLSTON VON KATZ

Kai's 3 yr. Doc Appointment!

Miss Kailey Von Katz is going to be 3 on May 1st! We went for our 3 year check up today and it was a great visit. Kai made it through the whole appointment with a smile on her face (no tears - YIPPIE):) I was SO very proud of her :) She is doing really well developmentally, overall very healthy: 39.5 inches tall = 95% height and 37 pounds = 79% weight. Dr. Alverez went over a few colors, standing on her toes, jumping, checked her reflexes and gave us some helpful tips to treat her Excema. It was her very first time wearing a gown and she felt like such a BIG girl!!!! There are a few cute videos so don't forget to HIT PLAY below.

I love this picture because she's looking at me like - 'Mommy - do you really have to take a picture of me in this gown' - LOL too funny! 3 going on 13 - YIKES!

Khloe's 1st Birthday!

This past weekend we celebrated our cousin Khloe's first birthday! It was a beautiful day at the park and Aunt Lolo's family did a great job putting everything together. It was cupcake themed :)

Happy 5th Anniversary Mommy & Daddy!

Mommy & Daddy celebrated their 5th Anniversary by going out to a quiet, romantic dinner! We stayed home with Gigi T & Peepaw. They were married April 22, 2005 on St. Petersburg Beach. Congrats - luv you guys so much :)

BIG Celebrations!

We're a little behind on our blog but I will soon catch up! The weekend before last we drove to Gainesville and threw my Gigi Lynne a "60 Years Young B-day Party" and my Great Grandmother, Barbara, a "90 Years Young B-day Party"! Thanks to all of our family who helped with everything as well as for making it :) It was a blast!

Baby Steps!

Kohlston has started to take baby steps at just 9 months old! I've tried endless times to catch it on video. Today he took 15 itty bitty baby steps before falling into my arms. This video isn't the best but it gives you an idea of his accomplishements. I'll keep trying and hopefully I will catch something better :) Ahhhhhh! Here comes trouble!

On the run!

After Kai got out of school today she came home and decided to show Kohlston how to 'trash his room' - this first shot is of him crawling down the hall (really fast) to get away from me (diaper in hand). It was hilarious to say the least :)

Busted!
THE MESS ;)
Little dude thinks it's funny! He's right - I was cracking up at them :)
This one will make you crack up! It's early a.m. and Kohlston is enjoying his bottle. This is his 'morning do' or shall I say 'all the time do' :) One day it will get heavy enough and fall down - yah think?

Lisa's Visit!

Mommy's friend, Lisa, came to visit on Daddy's Birthday! She lives in Atlanta and drives home during spring break to see her family in South Florida. She always makes a stop here to see us. It was a short but fun time. We also found out that Uncle Scooty & Aunt April were down for Spring Break and staying at Gigi Terry & Peepaw's while they are in Italy. We stopped over for a small cook out and enjoyed cake for Daddy's 34th too. The first pic is Lisa feeding Kohlston - too cute! Luv you Leese :)

Don't laugh too hard :) HAHA! We couldn't find candles :) Aunt Jenny bought a Ritters cake and we brought a carrot cake - Mmmmm! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
Here's Mommy bringing out the Carrot Cake for Daddy.

Mommy & Lisa (Gigi T- if you're checking in from Italy - I'm sure this shirt looks familiar :) Kohl had a little accident (the usual) and I had nothing to wear. I'll have it washed and back in your closet in no time! Hope you don't mind. Thx!
Mommy, April & Lisa
Uncle Scooty & Maddy!
It was great seeing you guys! Hope we can do it more often :) oxox
