Wasn't Kara a cute kitty?

Halloween Preview

Here we are headed to the church party. I'll post a full pic soon!

Today

"Mom, I love playing with my cousin's toys, and I can't wait until I'm five too."

Eating

Kara is very good at feeding herself, as long as you put the food on the spoon for her. She's too cute for words (and a little messy too)!

Kara Has a Tooth!

Finally! I got mine at 4 months, but Kara waited a little longer. I was feeling around in her mouth today and felt/saw one that finally broke the surface!

Kara Wanted to Say This:

Happy Birthday Aunt Shelley!

Just Because

I am at practice right now, actually--I'm making the kids run a couple miles. They hate me now, but they'll thank me later! Anyway, since I had some free time, I decided to write a blog post.

Kara loves B sooo much! You can just tell by the way she's looking at her in this picture! The only downside is that Kara is 7 months old going on 5 years! She wants to play with barbies and dress up and dolls! B is not such a fan of this--I constantly hear "Kara, you should have TOLD me you drooled on that! That's what happens when you don't listen to your cousin!"

They really do love to play together though :)

Mmmmm, Dog Food

Last night after I got home from work, I had Kara come sit in the kitchen with me while I fixed dinner. I turned around at one point and noticed that she was chewing on something...and happened to be sitting near the dog food. Sure enough, she was chowing down on the dog's dinner. I moved her away from the dog food only for her to crawl right back and start sampling some more pieces. Finally, she got tired of me moving her and dumped the entire bowl over, and then grabbed some in her fist and absolutely REFUSED to let me take it from her.

Meanwhile, Cassie sat patiently and waited her turn. They're great pals!

Baby Quilt

My friend is having her first girl, so I sewed her a quilt. She had her shower last night, so I can post pictures!

I don't have a machine that will do the quilting for you, so I had to take the presser foot off, put the free-motion/darning foot on and do the quilting myself. The quilting is my absolute favorite part though, so I wouldn't want a quilting machine! The quilting for this quilt took me about five hours, and I just LOVE the way it turned out! (There is a small flaw on the back, but it hopefully wasn't too obvious!)

Gettin' Around

Kara is incredibly active. She really tries to pull herself up on things (I helped her pull herself up in this picture), but she especially will try to pull herself up if she sees something interesting. In this case, it was the remote, which she is STILL playing with.
