It's been a while.....a LONG while!

This is her favorite toy right now. She is scooting backwards. She goes real fast once she gets on the hardwoods. Slides everywhere! She started on the rug, about where Baxter is sitting and ended up in the corner. Then she started yelling cause she couldn't get out of the corner. This is Kara & her bestie Linley. Linley is Rusty & Catherine Wise's daughter. They are 10 weeks apart.

So as you can see I started this blog a long time ago with the intention of keeping up with it and sharing updates. Since my last post was over a year ago and Kara is finally here, it seems I have been a little slack. My husband has decided that we need to keep up with the blog, ie: I'm going to have to keep up with the updates. =) I guess it is a good way to keep our family updated or to share pics. Lord knows we take enough. Anyway...Kara is 2 weeks shy of 9 months old. She LOVES to stand. I don't think she will ever crawl because she hates to be on her belly. If you try to sit her down, she buckles her legs and wants to stand. She especially loves that Baxter runs up and jumps up to kiss her when she's stand. Baxter always knows how to make her laugh. He was actually the first one to get her to laugh. Scott & I tried & tried...Baxter sneezed one night and Kara just giggled. Needless to say, Scott & I will do just about anything to get her to laugh cause it's just the most precious giggle in the world. She started to clap the other day. Real claps. She was clapping the back of one hand but she's got them both turned the right way now. She loves to wave...waves bye to Bax & Nona every morning when we leave. Kara has started to eat table food. She loves to eat. There is really nothing that we've given her that she has refused. You can tell that by her belly. ;) She's had real chicken, turkey, green beans, carrots, cantelope, and peas. And she LOVES cold water. She's starting to switch over from bottles to sippy cups. I would love when she has switched over fully and I don't have to wash bottles anymore. That will be nice.
