Buuuuudha Belly in the New Year!

Check out my new buddha belly that I've grown for the New Year! I must be figuring out how to eat. Fact: I'm just finishing up my LAST pack of newborn diapers and here come size ONE! We spent the 29th through New Years Day at the cabin up in Brainerd on Gull Lake with Gma and Gpa Sherck! We had so much fun watching all of the snowmobilers zoom by the front window! Dad got to go ice fishing but I had to stay in by the fire because it was chilly! New Years Eve day when we woke up it was a bone-chilling -20 degrees. Wow. I stayed by the fire with Gma wrapped up like a baby burrito in my blanket. Pics below of dad ice fishing...

Can you believe it? Mom was dressing me in all of these Christmas outfits the past few days. Isn't Christmas over? She said they all had to get one last wear...

My mom & dad goof around all of the time. They put Gmas reading glasses on me. I got so mad that I started screaming! We hope everyone had a great time celebrating the New Year - we celebrated with a hot fire, wine, appetizers of cocktail shrimp and bbq ribs. By the time the ball dropped, I was sound asleep...

A note from Katie: I had to post the last picture here. Funny times this past week. Every time Bill "takes care" of Brady, I'm always finding myself laughing out loud. On Monday before we headed to the cabin I was upstairs packing and heard the vacuum going. I thought Bill was doing some house cleaning before we left - only to find on the main floor the vacuum running and Brady on the floor right next to it sleeping. I guess - it's dad's way of calming a fussy baby. They never taught us that in the baby classes! The picture below is from tonight - daddy day care #2. I went to check on Brady - Bill had dressed him, socks up to his knees and put his wool pumpkin hat on him. He fell asleep and Bill put him in the swing and when I went to check on him...I found the pic below. He was still zonked out, but...poor little guy. Oh man...
