Kara's had a pretty exciting couple of weeks. Grandma H. came up to visit Kara and stayed most of the week. She was amazed at how much Kara has grown in just a month!
This past weekend, Justin, Heather, and Sean came up to visit. They hadn't seen Kara since
April. Kara and Sean had a lot of fun playing together. Sean particularly liked playing in Kara's enclosure, which he called "The Zoo". Kara and Sean also went to a nearby playground. Sean had fun playing on the see-saw and exploring the whole park, while Kara enjoyed the swing with Mommy. The rest of the weekend, Kara entertained herself by chasing Julie (their little dog) around the house and trying to grab her tail. I think Kara wore Julie out!
Kara is an expert crawler these days. She can get pretty much anywhere she wants to go. She's also starting to learn the value of sitting. She's figured out she can use both hands to play with toys if she's sitting. She's learning how to communicate a bit more. When she wants to be picked up, she'll starting climbing up your leg. She's also talking with more purpose these days. She'll look at you and say 'da-da-da' or 'ba-ba-ba'. We don't know what she's trying to say, but her gears are turning! It'll be a really good day when she says da-da and means it.

Heather created her own slideshow with pictures from the weekend.
Hey everyone!
We spent this weekend in South Carolina with our friends, the Stevensons. Warning: this Smilebox is full of sugar, spice, and everything nice (that's what baby Kara is made of)!
Love,
Heather
On July 14th, we had our first sitting for pictures of Kara. We were lured to the studio with the promise of 40 pictures for $9.99, but we soon realized that was only for one pose (and there were so many cute poses!). Mommy and Daddy didn't think that the photographer was going to be able to get very many pictures of Kara looking at the camera and smiling, but they were wrong. Our little girl took some adorable pictures, and Mommy and Daddy walked out with quite a few!

Kara has always had a lot of hair. She was born with a lot of hair, and she never seems to lose any - it just keeps on growing! She had a period where her hair seemed to always stick up no matter what Mommy and Daddy did (see the evidence here and here). But the bad hair day she had this week takes the cake. She woke up with some unruly hair that Mommy and Daddy thought looked awesome. We might need to get a hair cut for our little girl soon!
