Eye on the Prize

I was snapping some photos of Kate on Memorial Day. She was sitting so well so I grabbed my camera and I managed to catch a funny sequence of shots...

A close up of my cutie


Here's beautiful Kate sitting up

Uh-oh! My paci fell out!

How am I gonna grab this thing?

So close, yet so far.

One hand to balance myself while I grab it with the other!

AHHH!!!

ouch

Keep your eye on the prize


Mission Complete
Zac's comment upon looking at these pictures was "So Kate fell and was all smushed up against the couch and you just kept taking pictures?"

Finally!

I've been really bad at posting lately because I have been so busy at work. But all that will change on June 5th. Then I'll just be busy taking care of Kate and keeping the house in order! I can't wait!

Kate is growing and maturing so much I just can't believe it is happening so fast. I called one of my co-workers today to ask her a question and she just gushed on the phone how proud she was of me for staying home and that when she looks back that is her biggest regret. Her only child is graduating high school next week and she said she has been crying every day for the last 2 months because she can't believe how fast it's gone. Everything she said just reaffirmed everything I'm feeling.

Anyways here is a video of Kate practicing her sitting, she looks like a pro doesn't she?

And here is a video of her FINALLY rolling over. She had done this a few times here and there since she was about 10 weeks but today she did it about 6 or 7 times in a row intentionally so I finally feel comfortable saying she has FINALLY reached this milestone!

Pigtails, Sitting and Dedication

Our beautiful daughter...
Ever since the girls at day care gave her a ponytail they have created a monster! I am constantly doing things with her hair. Here are her pigtails, I love 'em!
Kate can sit unassisted for short periods of time now. I think her longest has been about 10 seconds.

The church that Zac and I attend does Infant Dedications twice a year in which you basically dedicate your child and your raising of that child to God. So today on my first mother's day we dedicated our beautiful little girl to the lord and it was wonderful! Most of our family was there (minus the family in West Texas an as and the Great Grandparents) and came back to the house afterwards for a wonderful brunch. It was a great day!!

There's us on stage and on the big screen!!
Kate insisted on having her pacifier in

She looked adorable thanks to Reagan's old outfit! Thanks Susan and Reagan for sharing your cute clothes with Kate =)

She loves her Aunt Megan!

The two uncles (Donny and Joe) helped to entertain at the house this afternoon.

Only 18 more days of school left. Wahoo!!
