Lolcats are the best....

My name is Catherine, and I'm addicted.....to lolcats! I save the best ones just to cheer myself up when it's 'one of those days'. Since I tend to 'humanize' my animals (according to the less animal-loving crowd), it's always amusing to see cats thoughts brought to life. Like how I'm trying to type this while Romeo sleeps on my right arm....just thinking 'get on with it & quit moving, you're interrupting my nap!'

Anime.....Ani-not!

So, Aunt Kerri wanted to see Andrew in the hat, boots & mittens she got for him while she was in Korea. They're super-adorable little anime faces....I tried to get pictures today, but let's just say Andrew was not in the mood! Here's a couple with the mittens & boots, but he went supernova with the hat on, so we'll try again another day!

1 month..going on 16

Today Andrew is 1 month old....We went on our first Mom & son solo trip to Tulsa for some Christmas shopping. He did very well, sleeping most of the time! I found a christening outfit and pants for his Christmas 'ensemble', but still no coat for Danny (at least not one under $300!!!). Once Danny got home, we pulled out the measuring tape...and depending on which way he squirms, Andrew's 22-22.5 inches! Our little guy won't be so little for long:(

MY rubber ducky!

These are from Andrew's first bath...he actually did OK-no crying until he was being dried off. Subsequent baths have not been as peaceful.....

CSI here I come!

I love this pose-Andrew looks like he's auditioning to be on CSI as a body double....To be that relaxed when I sleep!

Christmas tree...minus presents

We finished getting the tree set up and decorated Sunday evening...This year I decided on a blue, green and silver color scheme. We only have solid color ornaments, so I generally pick out certain colors to use each year. And no, my OCD has not gotten so bad that I color-coordinate the wrapping paper!....but it has crossed my mind!

Proud Daddy

This is my favorite of Danny & Andrew...he suddenly held his head up-Danny had to hang on so that Andrew didn't actually fall backward!

Still modeling!

I love the facial expressions in these next pictures...Andrew has crazy monkey arms that he's always waving around...and when he combines that with weird faces, well...a Mom always needs blackmail pictures!

A model is born

These are a few pics from the session at Aperatures Studio in Tulsa....pictures by Bob Chance (aka Grandpa).

Black Friday...dumdumdum

Had a terrific time with J-me in Tulsa! Did a little shopping while Andrew stayed with Grandma & Grandpa Chance....which wasn't too traumatic since they said to bring him again! We managed to (finally) find Andrew a Christmas outfit-who knew designers don't believe in making sweater vests for newborns?
