Kate laughs

It's amazing how much Kate changes everyday. Kate's "tricks" change too, which has turned me into a compulsive picture and video taker. Who knows if the trick she's doing today will be replaced by something else tomorrow? So here's some of her most recent tricks (disclaimer: I use the word "trick" loosely). She did this thing for awhile where she'd only "talk" to us if we were really close to her face. And then she figured out how to make the most annoying squaking sound in the world (but it's Kate so somehow it's still cute). She also just started laughing at humans (the first time she laughed was at my parent's dog, Sugar). She just found her toes esterday, and has even found her lips. She sucks on her bottom lip-it's meltingly cute...I'll try to get pictures.

Here's the close talk:

Kate and Oscar

Kate LOVES being outside. Since it's still 100 degrees during the day, we don't get out much. But the back porch is shady enough that we can enjoy a few minutes at a time outside.

I'd like to share my Snapfish photos with you. Once you have checked out my photos you can order prints and upload your own photos to share.

Kate's Blessing Day

Kate was blessed on August 23rd in Loveland. She cried the whole time, but Danny wasn't too distracted (in some of war training he completed a few years ago, they used audio of a crying baby as torture). The whole family came, which made it so special for us. Also, Kate was blessed in the same dress that I was blessed in almost 30 years ago! Quite a memorable day.

Catching Up

In an attempt to catch up a little on the 6 months of no pictures, I've kept my camera in my pocket almost constantly since Danny got home. Here's a few of the family pics we've gotten as a result. From hiking to eating lunch at Dairy Delite to relaxing on the beach at Catalina Island, they were all good memories.
