Our new Deck

I'm going to borrow space on Lily Kate's page to show off Parks' handywork that's ALMOST done. He just needs to add the top and I need to paint it and plant something to start climbing.

We don't look exactly alike anymore. More and more people think she looks like Parks now that her hair is lighter and the blue eyes are sticking. She's not my mini me anymore. It was fun while it lasted. She still loves swinging.
...and posing.

Who wouldn't want to hang out with this girl all day?!

She's just plain fun. Now that she can successfully stand on her own she stands anywhere she can pull up on - the kitchen island is a favorite. Look at the way she looks right at the camera and smiles, what a HAM!

Spying on Parks and Lily Kate

The actual picture isn't that great, but the sweetness of the moment is just too good.

Oh, the things I can get into now....

So, like Parks said, she started crawling on Tue. On Friday when I went to get her from her nap this is the progression I found. Squatting......pausing to knaw on the bed for a minute......Standing! She's done this a couple times since and she's very proud of herself, so I think it's trouble from here on out :)

Our Lily Kate is growing up way too fast, and we are having so much fun. By the way she can crawl now. Look out.

I'm 6 Months Old!

Can you believe it's been 6 months since Lily Kate was born?! Where has the time gone? This last month has been lots of fun. LK loves to swim, she's not a big fan of the sand at the beach, but the ocean and the pool bring out lots of splashing and smiles. She is just days away from crawling. She is scooting all over the house and putting anything and everything in her mouth. No more leaving shoes on the floor in the living room. It's been so much fun to see her personality blossom. She is a joyful, extremely expressive little bug. That's our girl.
Happy 6 months Lily Kate!

This sweet girl makes me so happy
