Going for a ride... on daddy!

This evening Katherine asked if we would take her to Baskin Robbins to get a treat for her 3 month birthday. So we put her in the Baby Bjorn, and off we went. She was not real happy when we informed her that she was not getting her own ice cream. Mom and dad celebrated in her honor.

3 Month Birthday for Me; 40 Year Anniversary for Babcha and Dido

Today, Katherine shares her 3 month birthday with her Babcha and Dido's 40th wedding anniversay. And since Katherine has found her voice in the past couple days, she says "ieeee", "yeaaaaa", "eeewww", "ooohhhh", which in her language, we guess, means "Happy Anniversary."

In fact, Katherine can't stop making her first baby sounds. We woke up Saturday morning and she wouldn't stop talking.

Katherine's first shots

Katherine received her first set of shots this past Tuesday and she did great!

Here are some cute pictures!

Wonder where Katherine gets those checks from!?!

Awww.... MOMMY!

Katherine's First Easter

Katherine had a wonderful first Easter. It began with going to her first Easter sunrise mass. We stayed in the church's baby cry room with 5 other little girls and 1 boy. The individual who thought to put this room in so parents could still partake in the mass, was a genius!

We had a wonderful time at church!!

Afterwards, we of course had to run to get Mommy and Daddy a snack at Patterson Perk before heading to our family celebration, at Teta Marushia's and Uncle Tara's house. There we spent time enjoying the company of family and friends! Of course everyone could not get enough of Katherine nor she of them. Here are a few pictures of a fun day!

Preparing for Paska

Katherine will be experiencing her first Ukrainian Paska today. This is when traditional foods are blessed by our Priest in preparation for the Easter meal. We took a couple of pictures of her with her basket before everything is placed together. Pictures of Katherine at Paska and her Easter basket full to come. Enjoy these fun shots!
