Proof ....

... that we don't take and post pictures exclusively of Kate. These are two of my recent favorites from an evening on the back deck.

Cruisin'

Kate and her buddies out for a little stroll

Despite how it may look - the color coordination wasn't planned.

Are You Ready for Some Football?!?

The outfit is compliments of Grandma & Grandpa K. Stay tuned for an outfit to rival this one.

Happy Birthday Auntie Suz!

Kate & I went to Austin to celebrate my Auntie Suz's 60th. My cousins Sid and Sloan did a great job of planning a suprise party for her on Sunday but it was a weekend of surprises because my Uncle Jim flew in on Friday and suprised both of his sisters. The only non-surprise is that even though my aunt is just entering mid life and I'm in my mid 30s, I still call her 'auntie.' I suppose it's only fitting because Kate will undoubtedly call her Auntie Suz too. Maybe she can call Sloan and Sid 'couzie.'

Busted!

I'm chewing up my baby bumble bee. Yes, my mommy is so proud of me.

The Carl Whisperer

Kate and Carl spending some quality time checking each other out. Carl is shockingly fantastic with her. Bailey on the other hand refuses to be photographed (or seen) in public.

Olympic Tug-o-War

We weren't initially sure whether or not Kate was ready for solids. . . .

Lamarpalooza!!

We spent a week in Nags Head, NC with Eric's brothers and sisters and their families. Kate really enjoyed meeting all of her cousins and the aunts and uncles she hadn't met yet. She got some of the best sleep she has ever had. AND - she was a rockstar on all 4 plane flights!

Interesting that Kate and her cousin, Henry, both have tongues only made for KISS
