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!!
