Yummy, Carrots!

2009-11-09T15:16:00.003-05:00

I fed Kaitlyn Carrots at the end of last week for the first time. She really seemed to like them. She is getting used to solid food, and swallows more each time!

Kaitlyn rolls from back to front!

2009-11-09T15:00:00.003-05:00

Kaitlyn can now roll both ways! She learned to go back to front on November 5th. These are a few pictures I took today of her...she was on her back under the toys with her head up at the top near the swing. This is how I found her. she rolled over and ended up facing the TV!

Enjoying the fantastic weather

2009-11-08T14:46:00.003-05:00

80 degrees in NOVEMBER? Who would have thought? We decided to take advantage and head outside to the back yard! Kait loved it.

Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze

2009-11-08T14:35:00.001-05:00

We went with Grandma and Grandpa Ferri and Auntie Kylee to a corn maze in North Georgia. The weather was perfect! Too bad the corn was brown and crunchy!

Wiggle Worm!

2009-10-12T18:18:00.000-04:00

Kaitlyn loves scooting on her back across the floor (and her bed). She is so cute...until she gets stuck. Today she found the underside of her swing. She reminded me of a car mechanic!

Asleep on her BACK

2009-10-11T16:15:00.002-04:00

Kaitlyn is ALWAYS rolling over onto her back during naps (and at night). It wakes her up and she gets so mad...she HATES sleeping on her back. Today I just watched her to see what she would do... SHE FELL BACK TO SLEEP!!

Monkey Mat

2009-09-30T15:12:00.002-04:00

Crazy about the remote control!

2009-08-16T11:17:00.002-04:00

We are not sure why... maybe the color combo....but Kaitlyn LOVES staring at the remote! It keeps her attention for 15-20 minutes. AMAZING!

Awake and taking a nap.

2009-08-14T11:08:00.000-04:00

First Beach Trip!!

2009-07-20T10:22:00.006-04:00

We went to the beach from July 11th-18th. It was a 6 hour drive, and Kaitlyn did pretty well. Thankfully Aunt Kylee was in the back with her and kept her happy.

Kaitlyn stayed in the condo with Great Grandma Kellogg (GG) during the day. I would run up and nurse her every couple of hours. We went to dinner a few nights, cooked out twice, and had pizza. It was a lot of fun.

Grandma Sasso's birthday and the 4th of July

2009-07-05T22:11:00.003-04:00

This Fourth of July we decided to stay home. Kaitlyn had been fussy all day, and had finally gone to sleep at 5:45pm. We were not about to wake her to go see fire works :) Mike and I watched a few from our front yard. Maybe next year.

Then on Sunday the 5th, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Sasso's house to celebrate Grandma's birthday! Charlene, Sandy, Mike, and Cindy (Mike's mom) were there. We cooked out hamburgers and hot dogs. It was a lot of fun!

A Friday night cookout!

2009-07-03T12:56:00.001-04:00

Tonight we had Neil and Alisha over to cookout and play some games. They brought steaks, rolls, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and delicious ice cream! The boys made dinner and grilled out while Alisha and I hung out upstairs...organizing the new clothes I had just bought for Kaitlyn :) I also gave her a few presents I had for her. During dinner, the boys seemed to forget how to use a knife and fork...see pictures below. After dinner, we had dessert, the boys went and played tennis while Alisha and I bathed Kaitlyn, then we all played games. We played Sequence (very fun) three times...the girls kept winning...so what if we cheated?! :) Then we played Sorry. They left around 1...What a FUN night!

Kaitlyn Turns One Month!

2009-07-03T12:44:00.000-04:00

Today Kaitlyn is one month old. I can't believe how fast it went. I have decided to take a picture of her in the rocking chair every month... to see how much she grows. Here is her One Month Pictures.

Water Slide!

2009-07-01T10:47:00.001-04:00

Today Kaitlyn and I drove out to See Alisha, Ryan, Paul, Anthony, and Nico. They had plans to play outside on Ryan's water slide...so I brought my swim suit. We had lunch, changed, then headed outside!

Kaitlyn's first tub bath

2009-06-27T21:03:00.001-04:00

On Saturday June 27th, I gave Kaitlyn her first tub bath. She did really well!

A day of golf...and relaxing by the pool.

2009-06-26T21:16:00.003-04:00

On Wednesday June 24th, James came into town from Boston. He and Mike have known each other since they were about 7 years old! Then on Thursday June 25th, Abe and Krissy got here. They came from Pennsylvania. Abe is Mike's older (and only) brother. They all came to stay with us for the weekend to meet and visit with Kaitlyn.

On Friday, all of the boys went out to play 18 holes of golf. It was way too hot for Krissy and I to tag along...so we went to the pool :) Kaitlyn went to stay with Grandma Ferri. We all had a ton of fun.

Mike, Abe and James

Three weeks later :)

2009-06-25T23:50:00.002-04:00

As many of you know, I was very anxious to get my "old body back" after Kaitlyn was born. Here is an updated belly picture.

Kaitlyn's umbilical cord fell off!

2009-06-23T20:59:00.003-04:00

Kaitlyn is now (finally) allowed to take a tub bath. It fell of Tuesday June 23.

Home sweet home

2009-06-20T23:14:00.000-04:00

Bringing Kaitlyn home meant introducing her to our dog Max. As you can see, that went fine, and he is great with her.

We had more people visit Here are Krystle and Kaitlyn in matching outfits :)

Sweet Kaitlyn.

I have been caring for babies and children for over six years now.... I am no stranger to changing a poopy diaper :) Mike on the other hand, is not. Here is Alisha coaching him through his first diaper change!

Mike and his sweet baby girl. He is such a good daddy!

Our hospital stay

2009-06-05T16:15:00.000-04:00

We were at the hospital from Tuesday (June 2nd) around 11:30PM until Friday (June 5th) around noon. While we were there, Kaitlyn had her first bath, got to wear her first "outfit", and had MANY visitors!!

Kaitlyn in her first outfit...thanks Charlene!

Our delivery room

2009-06-04T15:16:00.000-04:00

Mike took like 400 pictures of the delivery room at Northside Hospital of Forsyth. They are brand new and SO nice!

Kaitlyn's Arrival!

2009-06-04T11:41:00.000-04:00

Kaitlyn Avery Sasso has arrived.

Born Wednesday June 3rd, 2009
at 10:47 AM
Weighing 6 pounds, 15 ounces
20.5 inches long

My contractions started on Tuesday June 2nd at around 5:30Pm. They were irregular and not very strong, so I just sort of ignored them :) At around 8:30 that night, they were coming more regularly, so I decided to start timing them and writing it all down. I did this for an hour, then called my mom. Alisha, and My Doctor. My dad headed over to our house to pick up our dog, Max. Michael and I then headed to Northside Hospital of Forsyth. We arrived at the hospital at around 11:30PM. We were taken back to our room and signed a bunch of paper work. At 2:30AM I received my epidural, and Mike and I tried to sleep for the rest of the night. At around 6AM, there was a shift change, and my new nurse came in to introduce herself. I decided to call my mom, and she (along with my dad, Chelsee, Kylee, and Bruce) were walking into the Hospital Lobby!! They saw Alisha there, too. She had been there since around 4:30AM. No one wanted to miss the birth! I told them to tell the receptionist that I was awake and wanted them all to come back! They did, and we all sort of hung out the rest of the morning. Around 10:30, my contractions were strong and regular. I was fighting the urge to push with each one. It was so intense! I told the mid-wife I needed to push and that the baby was coming NOW! Everyone left the room except my husband :) the mid-wife and a nurse. I pushed with 4 contractions (with them still getting the room set up in between) and Kaitlyn was born less than 10 minutes later!!

My pregnancy

2009-06-02T17:34:00.000-04:00

As many of you know, I had a hard first six months of pregnancy. I was very nauseated and had a hard time finding foods that sounded good..and that I could keep down. After that was over, my feet, hands, and face started to swell. :) Nice, right?

Welcome to the Sasso's Blog

2009-06-02T15:17:00.001-04:00

With a new baby here, we thought it would be a good idea to start a blog. We want friends and family to stay updated and be able to look at pictures of Kaitlyn as she grows. Enjoy!
