Meet Catherine Rose Thell.

One of my good friends from high school had an adorable (and i mean adorable) baby girl named Catie :)  I got to meet her for the first time tonight.  We met at Applebees. and this girl! all the waitresses were stopping by and saying hi to her.  She has beautiful eyes and is incredibly inquisitive and bright.

It's just amazing to me how much time flies and how our priorities change as we grow older. Little Catie is only 5 months right now, and is desperately trying to figure out how to crawl.  She uses all of her energy to turn over and in fact can scoot around on her butt.  She is just a bundle of joy :)

Catie made our night much more interesting.  She made her appearance in the midst of our weekly Thursday evening "Office" party (as in the show...), where normally it's just a bunch of 20 somethings, kicking back with some cold ones and eating some chips and salsa.  But tonight, Catie brought an element of excitement that only a precious baby can bring :)  Needless to say, it was a fun filled night!

Two Side Notes

2. i realized that the post says i posted on Friday. which technically is correct. however it is 12:20 AM. so i'm still counting this as thursday :P
