Zoo FUN
Last weekend we had one of those glorious Saturday's when we're able to spend the whole day together as a family. I can't explain how much I love those days. With me working weekends and Nick having to put in more hours and traveling with work a WHOLE day together is really all I desire.
We spent our morning having pancakes at Joes, our usual breakfast place, then headed out to the Fort Worth zoo.
Here are pictures of Blake on her first trip to the zoo next to Kate on her first trip! They really look nothing alike to me!!
Here are Daddy and Blake, June 2008, then October 2010.
Blake wasn't afraid of the snake one bit
Or the alligator, or if you are Blake the "crockigator"

LOVE this picture...
Kate was such a good sport...she loves a good stroller ride, and really liked looking at the animals.
Here are a few of our favorites at the zoo.

Friend Fun
A few weeks ago Blake had her first sleepover with Claire. Blake sure does love Claire, they had some early morning play time dressed up in my jackets.

Cowgirl Blake
A few weeks ago we took Blake to some stables in Fort Worth to ride a horse. She has asked to ride a horse for atleast a year now (ever since there was a horse at VBS two summers ago!)
I was SO excited to take her. She was a PRO, not scared at all and loved every minute of riding Hot Rod.

Dear Kate
Dear Kate,
Are you sure you are six months old? These past 6 months have flown by so quickly that I'm really not even prepared to write you 6 month letter. It's amazing how I can't really remember what we did before you came into our lives. I can't remember what kept Blake occupied and entertained. I love how your presence has given your big sister a glimpse into what it is like to care for someone else so much. You are a VERY important part of her day :) At 6 months you are all (slobbery) smiles! You started crawling around even before the 6 month mark! You can offically pull up on the side of your crib which makes it very hard for you to settle back down if you wake up, but you are still a great sleeper.
You LOVE "solid" food. Today we tried your first fruit, bananas, and you giggled after each bite. You are starting to reach for people, mostly Daddy or Uncle Baus. You are so brave and have no problem going to the nursery at church.
Everyone says you look just like your Daddy, and I have to agree. You have the most beautiful blue eyes. I was really counting on you being a Mommy's girl, so we'll have to see how that goes! I even think you have his personality...sweet and caring with a little mischief thrown in :)
You are truely a JOY and we couldn't have hand picked a better fit for our family. We are so in love with you Kathryn Bailey Barker.

Here are a few highlights from your 6th Month:
Your first trip to the pumpkin patch! You rode on the hay ride...you really wanted to eat some hay, and pumpkins, and grass.
Here you are enjoying some food, then playing peak a boo.
Your first time to swing somewhere other than our playset....no I don't condone letting your baby put their mouth on the swing. ...that would just be gross...jeeze.
You being tolerant enough to humor Blake by letting her feed you.
You sitting and crawling so big!!
My BIG Girl
I love this picture but I absolutely cannot believe how big my little Blake looks. This is her classic "I'm trying to be shy" face that I see so often. She is an energetic, talkative, joy-filled little girl and I'm one lucky Mommy to call her mine.
