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!!!!

Spring is in the air!!

YAY it is FINALLY Springtime!! We can now get outside and start showing Kara how beautiful the world is:) She had her first experience with grass the other day and thought it was the coolest thing ever. She sat there for 10 min just pulling the grass up and staring at it. She also discovered that if you eat it, it does not taste very good. We love watching her explore things for the first time!!
Patrick and Kara came down and watched my tennis match and saw me win for the first time this season WOOHOO!! It was a beautiful evening to be outside and enjoy the sun. I cant wait for many many more days like yesterday.... We just love the Spring!!!!

More pictures are to follow......

Happy 7 Months Big Girl!!

Photo Phyllis!!

Poor Kara is going to be so sick of her Mommy taking TONS of pictures of her!!! On Saturday I took my first Photography class with our camera that we got almost two years ago. I can finally take pictures with a camera I know how to use and even take it off auto.....YAY!!! I have already used Kara as my model way too much but I know she will love to look back at her pictures when she gets older. So, everyone get ready for some picture posting uploading:)  Patrick was awesome for watching our beautiful daughter while I got Saturday and Sunday off......photography class and my first tennis match!!!

The new car

Its official we got a new volvo and we are now in the Parents club!! We traded in my fast sports car for a much more child friendly safe SUV. It gives us more room and I can finally take Kara running with me at the rec in her jogging stroller and fit all the grocerys in the trunk. Its amazing everything you have to think of when you have a child.... safety is much more important then how you look these days:) We are now getting ready to child proof our home because Kara is sitting up all by herself and before we know it she is going to be crawling everywhere!!!!  I know she is going to be looking for everything to get into EXCEPT her own toys:) 

Patrick will be gone for 4 days so Kara and I will be having a girls night every night....WAHOO!!! This will be the longest he has left us since she was born. We are going to miss his but I know we will have so much fun!!!  

playing on the computer

Cheerios and Sippy Cups:)

I love being a Mom it is the most amazing adventure a husband and wife can take. I have learned through this whole experience so far that patience is the key. Last night Kara had her first experience with cheerios and all but two ended up on floor. She had WAY more fun playing with them then eating them..... she hated the texture or the taste and made a funny face like I had just given her a lemon:) It is the best thing to watch someone figure something out for the first time in their life:) This morning Kara and I decided it was time to try the sippy cup (lots of new things in such a shot time) she did MUCH better with this than the cheerios!! She wanted to hold it herself and did not want any help from me!! She loved to chew on the spout but was not too sure about the water that was pouring out the other end. We will keep trying and I am sure she will get the hang of soon. She is soooo AMAZING:).......
