we just had to post the whole thing. At approximately the 26 second mark Bean looks up as if to say, "What, are you done?" So cute.

"Pictures please!"
Was the request from Granny Bain. And so here they are.
In a new outfit from a friend of the Hill family:
With the glow-worm from Aunt Tanya and Uncle Matt. She loves it because of its orange face (her favourite color) and its songs:
Jenny dressed Catherine this morning and *whoops* her outfit was too small. Pants became capris. Nic, are capris still cool?
A wicked awesome giggle-fest with mom:

Something big happened last night. Very big.
So Jenny and I were running errands yesterday and we left Catherine with Grammy Fran for an hour. While we were out, Bean got hungry, and so Fran gave the baby the pre-approved bottle of formula. It was her first full bottle of formula, and she drank it all up.
And last night, she slept from 6pm to 5:30am. Then she went back to sleep until 8am.
Crazy.
Now, it could be that she is sick (she has a little cold), or that she's just getting older and developing better sleep habits.
Whatever it was, we're excited if this continues (although realistic that it might not).

Walkin' with dad:
Melting us with her eyes:

Vacation in Tampa
Well Catie, Grammy, and I are back from the sunny south with mixed emotions. The week was filled non stop relaxation in the sun - just what we needed. It was sad to say goodbye to Uncle Matt and Aunt Tanya and to leave the sunny weather, but it was great to see Daddy again. Boy did we miss him.
Here we are ready to begin our adventure. I don't mind telling you I was a little nervous about the flight.
Catie on the other hand was not. She got bored waiting in line for customs and decided to take a nap.
This is how I spent about two hours of the flight each way. Luckily we were right at the front so I had room to stand. This little lady loves to move.
Catie finally getting to meet her wonderful Aunt Tanya.
Sleeping just in onsies - without sleep sacks and sleepers!
Catie and Matt checking each other out.
By the end of the trip they were good friends.
Catie not quite ready to sit up regularly in a stroller wearing a ridiculously large hat.
Ahh... but that's much more comfortable - napping in the breezy shade.
Catie couldn't get enough of Aunt Tanya.
Playing on her activity mat is way more fun outside.
Chloe was our side kick the whole trip. Catie couldn't figure it out - Ellie's so small, so is Chloe a dog or a horsey?
We spent lots of time playing with our toys - and Catie actually seems to *sort of* like tummy time now.
In fact, we had a big moment! During one of our play sessions, Catie rolled over from tummy to back for the first time. A long while ago, in her sleep, she rolled over from back to tummy. She proceeded to do this a handful of times. However, every time she woke up, she would wail... not such a fan of being stuck face down. Consequently, she gave that up for a while. So I was so excited to see her rolling the opposite way! This is actually her second time as I didn't have the camera ready the first go.

Big update
OK, here we go.
First off, it's another snow day here (actually, ice day - and this one is legitimate). Another thing: Catherine is 4 months old. 4 months and 2 weeks, really.
She's also sick. At least we think she is. She's waking up more often, is generally more fussy, and is sneezing and coughing a lot. No nose discharge (yet) but it feels like a cold.
Jenny and Bean are going to Tampa Bay tomorrow (how exciting!). In preparation for that, baby C had to try on her new sun hat:
Then she tried to engage Ellie in some play:
She was eventually successful in getting Ellie's attention. We're really happy with the way Ellie has adapted to Catherine - we think they're going to be good buds.
General smiles, and trying on a new outfit (some courtesy of Anthony and Penny):
On Saturday night, Jenny was all, like, "Dude, let's have something yum for supper, like nachos." So nachos it was. Only, we went overboard. We made two huge plates, one for each of us. They were wicked. (Jenny wanted it noted that we did not come close to finishing them - well Jenny didn't anyway.)
I jazzed mine up with olives and jalapenos. Jenny wussed out and declined these options.
On Sunday, Aunt Mary came over. Mary's not an actual flesh and blood aunt, but considering how much she loves to hang out with Catherine AND Ellie (Mary and Doug took Ellie for the rest of the day) she definitely qualifies as an honourary aunt.
Finally, Jenny with her daughter:
