Kara is really good at smiling now!

Wearing a John Deere hat like my Daddy and Grandpa!

Cuddling close to Daddy is one of Kara's favorite things to do.

Lovie Bear is bigger than Kara!

Look, its a Care-Bear!!

Kara's little hand with Mommy's big hand!

Snoozing with Daddy.

Her outfit says, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made- Psalm 139:14"

This next group of pictures were just taken this morning. I was playing with Kara and she was in a really happy (smiley) mood. So I tried to take as many smiling pictures as I could, for those of you who have yet to see her smile.

Just a random picture on a blanket.

Kara Joy

Yes, her shirt does say Daddy's Girl, and yes, she is a Daddy's girl...

Here is Kara trying out her crib for the first time. Right now she still sleeps in her bassinet in our room, but I thought it'd be fun to try out the crib for a few pictures.

See... Daddy's girl!

I like to put her in the Bumbo while I'm working on stuff, and can't hold her. Usually she likes it until she gets too tired of trying to hold up her head.

I love Kara!

She LOVES to kick her legs.

Here's an outfit that Aunt Sarah will like... it has frogs on it, and if I had put the pants on her, the shoes are frog faces! :)

One of my friends gave me a little pink clip to put in her hair. Isn't she cute?

Mommy teasing Kara......

Kara "took over" Daddy's chair!

Oops, forgot the flash...

Amazing, both of us were looking at the camera at the same time.

She likes to sleep like this. (And I like to sneak in and take pictures!)

This picture is cute to me because we have completely opposite expressions...

Kara is getting better and better at smiling. She has a little one on her face in this picture. Shortly after this picture she smiled at the glo-worm that is on the floor there next to her.

Here's another little smile. She smiles big a lot, but you have to be quick with the camera or you'll miss it.

Usually this is what I get when I try to take a picture of her smiling.

But alas, I did get a smiling picture! It's a little blurry but it's still cute.





I saved my favorite picture for last. I LOVE this picture!
