8 months old

Holy cow where in the world has time gone?? Kara has grown up so fast right in front of our eyes! She just got her VERY first tooth and can now pull herself up and even get into crawling position. Its like we blinked our eyes and she became a little girl starting to do things on her own now.  She can hold her own spoon to feed herself (sorta) and almost drink from a sippy cup. Can't wait to see what next month will bring:)

Thank you Elizabeth for taking awesome pictures of Kara and us:) YOU ROCK!!

Welcome to Masters Week! (Patrick wrote this one)

Kara Grace got to experience her very first Masters this year!!  Kara Grace got to spend time with a lot of her cousins during Masters week at Dee and Pops house in Augusta Georgia.  Frannie and Campbell were in from Ohio and Hannah, Hews, Jack, McKinsey, and Jake were all in from Atlanta.  We missed seeing Ben, Weston, and Will but luckily she gets to see them here in Atlanta.  Dee had the pool nice and warm and Kara Grace was able to get in with Mom and Dad and go for a swim two different days.  She really loved her new boat that Mom got her that lets her float around and chill in the pool with a little bit of shade.  All the cousins were happy that Dee had the pool so nice and warm and they could all swim during Masters.  Kara Grace also got to meet Fred and Kathleen from San Diego for the very first time.  Dee and Pop had another great party Friday night of Masters but Kara Grace was in the sheets pretty early and slept through most of the party!  Kara Grace also got to meet her Uncle Jason Saturday morning after the party for the very first time when he was in from Greenville, SC.  Phil Mickelson won the Green Jacket for Kara Grace's very first Masters.  Pop had to put a splint on Phil Mickelson's oldest daughter on Saturday when she fell skating and broke her wrist.  Kara Grace had a very exciting first Masters ever with Tiger returning to golf and Phil Mickelson winning his 3rd Green Jacket with a great round on Sunday!!  We can't wait until next year....    

Happy Easter!!

We had a wonderful Easter this year with Kara!  We had our first egg hunt at our neighbors house with all the babies from the neighborhood. It was so funny watching the babies lined up trying to get there pictures taken at the same time. Kara's favorite part was eating the plastic eggs:) The next day was Church with my family and then we headed to our second egg hunt at Uncle E's parents house. Lots of food and laughter!!

The things we love about Kara at 7 months

1. The big smile on her face when she wakes up to start the day
2. The way she sleeps on her tummy with her butt in the air
3. The way she looks at her Daddy and gives him a big smile and smirk
4. How she rolls over and over and over to get to her toys
5. The way she concentrates so hard to put each puff in her mouth
6. Play time right before our night bath with her favorite toys
7.The way she giggles when we give her a tummy gummier
8. The way she jumps when we stand her on our lap
9. How she tries so hard to have a real conversation with us
10. We just LOVE everything about our sweet baby girl

                               It was a little tough this time to get a good 7 month picture!!!!
