Father's Day

I have been so busy that I have neglected my blog for some time now...I am now going to get back on track!! My Daddy had his first Father's Day and mom and I tried to make it special! We got up and went to the pool and played in both the kiddie pool and the big kid pool! Since we went to the pool so early there were not many people there and we got to have the shallow end of the big kid pool to ourselves. It was so much fun! Unfortunately the rest of the day was pretty rainy, so it was good we played outside early in the day!!

Grandpa Dick came over for dinner and we grilled out steaks and played for awhile! I got Daddy a tool for his grill, a framed picture of me and some other fun stuff! He took the picture of me to his office!!! I love my Daddy!

Love,

Kate

Picture Day!

Today I went on my monthly trip to the photo studio! This time Grandma Vicki and Aunt Jenny went with mom and I. It was really fun! I had lots of outfits to wear and I really liked the photographer - she made me smile all day long! I could tell picture day stresses mom out a bit...she never looks very put together on picture day!! I wore a new pink dress, did a naked shot in a bathtub with make believe bubbles and in my bathing suit! This is the first time I had worn this suit and it was way too tiny on me!! It hurt me a lot when mom put it on - she has already had to return it and they did not have the bigger size (too bad too because it was super cute on me)! The sales lady told mom the suit ran small to size - but mom bought me 6-12 months!!! The suit was so small it made me look like I had boobies...Daddy would not like that! Mom and Grandma were suckers and bought an entire package this time!!! The cool part of the package is that it comes with a CD with all the pictures on it so we can put some of them on the blog. I hope you like them!
Love,
Kate

Here they are:

Party!

I love a party. Yesterday mom and dad friends Courtney and Dave had a BBQ and I was invited. I got a really long nap in before the party so I would no miss a thing! My best friend Sydney was even there! It was so much fun. Courtney made really pretty lemon drop martinis that mom seemed to really enjoy! They also made really good smelling strawberry daquiris that Dad even liked!! Everyone looked to be having a great time! Everyone held me and I had so much fun. I had to take a little nap though...hope I did not miss anything!

Love,

I love to Swim!!

Our neighborhood pool opened for the first time ever Memorial Day weekend! I am so happy because I love to swim! At first mom and dad were nervous I would not like it because I really did not like getting real baths (I cry) until just a few weeks ago!

I play in the baby pool! I can walk around with dads help. We also swing and do the back float in the water. It is so much fun!

Mom and dad are so worried about me getting a sunburn and getting too hot we can only stay for a few minutes and I am covered in suntan lotion and have to wear a hat! I don't care what I have to do, as long as I can swim!!

Love,

Kate

My toys!

I have lots of fun toys! At first mom was really worried about the toy situation and did not like how the colors of the toys did not match my room decorations...now I think she understands I like bright colored toys! I do not think mom and dad are ready for when the toys take over the house though!!! heehee!! P.S.....buy me lots of toys for Christmas (not clothes like mom would want you to get me)!!

Mom and Dad love to play with me and my toys. Sometimes Murphy gets confused and thinks my toys are hers...that is okay, I can share!

I am now big enough to start playing in my excersaucer! It is really fun. Soon I will be big enough to get it to spin all around. For now I play with the toys in front of me!

Mom and Dad got me a crazy seat called a Bumbo seat that I am now big enough to sit in. It is pretty cool because I can sit right up at it and look at everyone. I love the new angle! Mt thighs are a little chunky though and I get stuck in the seat. Mom and Dad have to pull me out!!

Kate(s)!!!

I wanted to post a picture of my friend Kate. Mom and Dad like her so much they thought Kate would be a great name for me. She is moving to California but we will keep in touch as I grow up! Good thing I started this blog, huh? Kate was so nice and let me have a lot of her clothes when she was a baby...I love to get all dressed up and Kate had quite the wardrobe! I am so lucky to be friends with her!
Love,
Kate

Tiffany

My mom is totally jealous....she has always dreamed of getting a little blue box from Tiffany but never has (and she is 31)!! I already got one at 13 weeks old!! I was not awake to open the pretty package so mom was lucky enough to open it for me. It was a beautiful cross necklace from Aunt Jenny (she is also my Godmother). It is so pretty and mom is trying to wear it. I can wear once I get bigger...I can't wait!
Love,
Kate
