Happy 9 month birthday Kate!


Kate is now 9 months old, how crazy is that!?!? She looks excited, doesn't she?

Kate's plum experiment...

So we don't typically give Kate the WHOLE fruit when we feed her. Today though, Katelyn stole Mommy's plum at breakfast and just starting noshing on it! I never thought those two baby teeth could do such damage, but she tore into it and loved it!
And this was the aftermath...

Horsin' around with Mommy...


This is Katelyn practicing her newest skill - clapping! It's the cutest sound to hear her little palms slapping together, she finally got it!

Hammin' it up...

Daddy's girl...



Isn't it a requirement that people take pictures of their kids in the laundry basket? I know Jesse and I both have pictures from when we were little ones, and here's our own little load of colors! 

Such a flirt...

Katelyn, meet Chick...

I don't wanna, I don't wanna!
Okay, I'll try touching this little guy...
Oh my, it's so furry!
Now I'm sort of okay with this! (and then the chick pooped on her leg!)

The chick introduced Katelyn to quite a challenge. Daddy was intent on keeping that cute little chick in her lap until she was comfortable with it...

Delaware State Fair...

This was Kate's first meet-n-greet with an animal at the fair, someone had their goat on a leash. She was pretty good about this one - same size!
The piglet was not furry, which equals not so much fun!

The bigger goat was not nearly as fun as the small one, but she tried - at least he was softer... 


Kate had a good time at the fair this weekend...unfortunately, she was a bit overtired, or I think she would have enjoyed the furry animals a bit more. However, we got some good shots of her trying to be okay with being near a piggy, a goat, and a donkey. Mostly she thought touching each was a good idea, then decided against it and would make this really funny shrieking sound!

Just plain cute!

Fun with Aunt Kimberly!




Kate helped Aunt Kim learn a little something about taking care of babies since she will need the expertise in just a few short months! They've both got some good funny faces!

A day in the life...




A day at the pool...



Kate, loungin' around, catchin' some rays at the baby pool...

Bedtime!


Kate's got 2 new teeth, and she's taking "brushing" them to a whole new level!

Daddy time...


Kate loves to drink like Mommy and Daddy, despite getting soaked in the process...

Happy July 4th!

Kate spent her first 4th with her cousins Paige and Brooke who couldn't get enough of her...

Baby Mav and Kate played together, sharing their toys...

Kate's first haircut!

Yes, after all the urging from family and friends, we finally had Kate's locks cut a little bit. Mommy was sad, but now Kate can see without all that hair in her eyes!

More vacation pics..

Katelyn and Mommy made a visit to Erin Higgins, one of mommy's old teammates, and Kate had a dip in the pool with Stella...they actually both DO have suit bottoms on!
This is Kate enjoying her reflection in the mirror while shopping the Rehoboth outlets...

Another visit to some of Mommy's friends...and Katie's "baby" Bella. Kate was just her size!
After a long day, we had dinner at Outback with the Judy's, but Kate was more interested in our coasters than the food...

Just havin' fun...




First time at the beach!!


Katelyn had her first beach experience last week at Cape Henlopen in Delaware. Daddy introduced her to the waves but she wasn't a huge fan.
