It was Kathryn's first halloween and this year the ward decided to throw a halloween party! We thought there would be some really cute costumes for Kathryn to wear so were quite excited to go shopping. We went at the beginning of October and she was well on her way of growing out of the 0-3 month age group clothing, so we had to find something in the 3-6 month size. Well, this is the outfit that we thought would work the best. Doesn't she look adorable?
Last week (she was 10 weeks old) I took her to get weighed and she is now 14 pounds 5 ounces and 61cm. She has grown 1cm a week since she was born! Everyone she meets (or who sees her) comments on her hair and how beautiful she is, but hey, look at who her parents are!

Kathryn has found her voice, and boy does she love to use it. Too bad we can't understand her!!! I wonder what she would tell us if we could. I never realised how much babies watch your mouth to learn how to form the words. We will be sitting talking to her and I realise that she is looking at my mouth and not my eyes! Plus she is learning to copy the pitch of our voices as well. A few times when Mark has had to run off to meetings (or out of the room), he looks at Kathryn and says, "love you", and she will copy the pitch with her ga-gas and/or a-gous!
Here is one of her talking to me...until she realises that there is a camera on her (she has always been shy with pictures).
Here's one of her talking to her Daddy:
The smile that has everyone hypnotised.

Kathryn is now 6 weeks old! My how the time flies by. She started smiling at just under 4 weeks (the real smiles, not the windy ones) and has everyone under her spell. We went to her 6 week doctor's appointment and were told that she is doing very well and is a strong, healthy baby. The next day we went and had her weighed and measured. She is now 12 pounds 7 ounces and already growing out of the 0-3month sized clothes.
My mom is so good with the sewing machine. She made some of our clothes growing up and even the bridesmaid dresses for my sister's wedding (and there were a lot of bridesmaids!!). Anyway whenever some one has a baby she makes some beautiful receiving blankets and matching burping cloths. So while she was over here visiting Kathryn (and Mark and I), I had her show me how to make them. This is my attempt. I made a blanket, 4 burp clothes and a wash cloth. Not exactly in baby material, but at least it's girly!
Neither Mark nor I are very photogenic people, but with our beautiful new addition to the family we thought it would be nice to have an updated family photo (our last one was from 2 1/2 years ago!). What a good looking family we are (and humble too!)!!!
Buffy's Mom and Dad have been visiting with us for a few weeks, getting to know the baby and, if there is any time left, talking to us a little bit.
Here in they are with a very pregnant Buffy during their tour of Arundel Castle in Sussex. It was a really enjoyable day and we can heartily recommend it as a tourist destination or a family day out. Once upon a time someone told us that it is a nice enough castle but not worth the entrance fee and so, even though it's less than 10 miles from our door, we have never visited in the five years we have lived here. We loved it and would go again. The pictures are both in the gardens of the castle and show one of the churches that backs onto the grounds.
We will get some more baby pictures up soon but until then...
As our family has grown by 50% in the last two weeks, we thought we would start a blog to keep everyone in the loop with what is happening with the Baynes Family. I have no idea whether we will be good bloggers or whether this will end up being the first and last entry we ever post.
As you can see we have been blessed with a beautiful daughter. Kathryn Baynes was born at 5.09pm on 24th August at Worthing Hospital, she weighed in at 9lbs 5oz and was 21.5" tall. This picture was taken on the Ward the morning after and she is just sleeping on her mummy - isn't she a natural?
Currently Kathryn is being doted on by her four grandparents and always has her choice of warm body to sleep on. She is really well behaved and overall Buffy and I have been surprised at the amount of sleep we have been getting - who knew that four hours a night would seem so wonderful?
