Happy 1/2 yr Birthday Baby Kate!

Yesterday was sweet Kate's 1/2 year birthday. She celebrated the day by having her 6 months photo shoot. Can I just admit that I dread picture day with a passion! I slave away weeks before determining the perfect outfit, then I spend hours the day of making sure everything is ironed perfectly, along with trying to make sure her schedule is perfect so she will be in the utmost mood when the photographer shows up. Lets just say, it all didn't go according to plan. I think our photographer took around 400 pictures so hopefully there will be 3 or 4 we like. :)

Sweet Baby Kate,


You are currently sitting up fairly well but not yet all by yourself. You have rolled a few times but not very consistently and only from back to tummy. Your mommy might not have given you the opportunities for the other. :) Mommy is starting to see some hair growth around the crown of your head with little dark brown/black stickerbushes popping out. You have started this new squeal/screech thing when you are happy or borderline unhappy. You like to make these noises over and over again no matter when or where (i.e. church last night). Mommy will try and get a video of this. You absolutely love Petey and he loves you too. Mommy catches him kissing on you all the time then she has to wipe you down. Last Sunday mommy was making whoopy cushion sounds with her mouth and you were repeating them back and smiling real big. Your mommy got a kick out of that. You absolutely love baby food, even though all you have had thus far is veggies. Mommy is going to let you try some applesauce for Easter this Sunday. You recognize both your mommy and daddy's voice. Whenever someone else is holding you at church and your mommy is talking, you search for her voice. You also listen very attentively when mommy puts daddy on the speaker phone (while petey licks the phone because he loves his daddy too). You are such a sweet girl and mommy and daddy thank God every day that he blessed them with you.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
