Not to sure about all this water.
That's how you splash Kate-Kate. 
Am I not feeding this girl enough? Just having a little snack!!

We stopped by Grammy & Coach's house on Saturday. They just put up a new swing for their grand babies. It is under the perfect Oak tree.
Carl & Traci invited us over for a yummy dinner on Sunday. Aunt Traci was totally entertaining Kate. It was hilarious. Tripp is catching up to Kate in the lbs!! He is so adorable and really filling out. It was neat seeing the cousins together. Not so neat when Kate tried to hit Tripp in the face on 2 separate occasions. Oh that girl!
Where's Kate???
There she is!!
Peek-a-boo I see you!
To Daddy Daycare---or should I say his office! Erik was so agreeable and such a big help. I dropped her off and he took her in to give her a bottle. Then she helped him finish up some work. Do you think she could have tidied up Daddy's desk?
Mimi stopped by this morning. She brought me some breakfast and fed Kate her bottle. We love living so close!!
We have been having a very busy and fun week. We braved the Tomball library story time on Monday. I have been wanting to take Kate ever since we went with Courtney a couple months ago. This time we headed there solo ready to make some new friends. It was a huge success minus me messing up the introduction song (having to re-sing it!) and the little spit up incident at the end, we had a fun time. Kate was making this new excited sound and really trying to sit up. We are going to try and make this a habit. Hopefully, Grammy will be joining us next week!
Noah and Courtney came to Spring for the beginning of the week. Here is a picture of their proud Grandpa. These two just love this man to pieces!!
While Court and Noah were in town, we had a play date with Adria and her handsome little boy Gavin. He is about to be 2! It was fun to see the 3 babies interact together. Kate is going to have to be one tough cookie to hang out with these boys!!
We also went to the park with my friend Jenny. This is her sweet little boy Evan. He is about to have a little sister. I think he is going to be a good big brother. He was very nice to Kate!
All the small group babies. We have Kate, Gavin, Carter, Hadley, Kimberly and the newest addition Addison. Thank you Lord for these sweet babies!
Kate and her good bud Carter. Thanks for the picture Laura!
I feared this day was coming! Looks like little Miss is not tolerating her bows. What's a momma to do?
My sweet friend, Diana, is retiring from Northampton Elementary. They had a party for her at the school and it was so nice. I can't even put into words all that she has done for me these past 3 years. She is a fantastic friend and teacher. Thanks Mimi for watching Kate. She loved playing peek-a-boo with you.
This was taken a few weekends back, but I had to put it on the blog. It looks like big bows are the new trend :) Grammy just adores her little Kater and we adore our Grammy.
This little ham bone turned 6 months old on the 12th. Instead of cupcakes and balloons, she had to go to the doctor for shots!! The poor dear was not to happy with momma. Kate is one big 6 month old. She now weighs 16 pounds 11 ounces and is 27 and 3/4 inches. No wonder, she can fit into 12 month clothes.
Kate is a wild woman in her exersaucer! This expression screams TROUBLE!!
Noah & Kate have really started playing together this month. Noah just giggles at Kate. She is into studying her cousin. I love that they are so close in age.
Kate now eats her morning meal and evening meal in her high chair. She seems to enjoy it. Her favorite fruit is peaches and she loves carrots for dinner.
We have been spending more time with Uncle Carl, Aunt Traci and cousin Tripp these days. Kate likes looking at Tripp. We are fortunate they live so close.
Erik sure knows how to get Kate laughing. (I think it's his whiskers!) The other night I was in the kitchen and Erik was in Kate's room and I heard the sweetest sound. Kate was cracking up laughing. It went on for at least 5 minutes.
Grammy got this picture on her camera. It is one of my all time favorites.
Happy birthday Mimi!!
We participated in our churches baby dedication ceremony. It was a very special Saturday night! Thank you to Aunt Courtney, Mimi, Grandpa, Grammy, Coach, Tammy, Adria and Lucy for coming to share in this important night for Kate. Our good friends Scott and Laura also dedicated their sweet baby Carter. We got to stand right next to them on the stage. Kate and Carter were both on their best behavior. We are some very proud parents.

Here we are back in August in front of the same fountain with little Kate inside my growing belly. We cannot even begin to explain what this little miracle has done to our lives. God is good!
Yummy biscuits made by my darling hubby!
Swimming in Katy. This was Noah's 1st time in the pool. He was in heaven!! Kate was loving all the commotion Noah was causing in the pool. I look forward to the day when Kate can sit up on her own :)
Our sweet husbands working so hard on a wonderful meal of fried fish. (Erik caught these on Friday!) Hats off to Iron Chef Coston & Iron Chef Schindewolf.
Always getting attention from Grandpa
Happy Mother's Day!!
Thank you Kate for all my presents!
Lately, when Erik gets home from work Kate gives him a super sized smile. It is seriously the most wonderful sight. I think back to her 1st 3 months of life when Erik was always greeted with an extremely fussy baby and a worn out momma! Now, he gets to come home to this!
One happy little girl!!
They even had a real pirate there!
The birthday boy
Clari and Nathan
Erik and precious cousin Judd
