Swim lessons

Here are some pictures from our most recent swim lessons - she was happy most of the time! Some of the frowny-faces are due to the sun being excruciatingly bright.


This is her sweet little buddy named Lily. To give you an idea about how high on the 'height' end of the growth chart Kate is (97th percentile!) - she is approximately 5 weeks older than Lily but stands a whole head above her. She is much taller than most of her friends close in age.

A true Katie-boo moment - her favorite skill that she acquired at the pool seemed to be the high five. Now she demands them from strangers at the grocery store, throwing her hand in the air exclaiming "FIVE!" with a bright smile. ;)

She loved learning to get out of the pool, but wasn't happy that I wouldn't let her run away - the point was for her to get back in w/ mommy. That was less fun than running away!

Practicing her back float - her least favorite skill & the only one I'm good at!

July update

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated - it has been a busy summer and as I get closer to our due date my enthusiasm for blogging is less than usual. Here are a few new photos to keep y'all satiated. :)

Came in to Kate's bedroom first thing in the morning - guess she had been awake longer than I had known! She is wearing not one, but TWO of her red dresses like tube tops around her waist. She is also surrounded by various clothing items and hair accessories out of her chest of drawers. She is a busy little bee and if I don't catch her immediately after she wakes up I often find something from her dresser in bed with her. :)

Hanging out w/ Daddy before church - I love this dress on her!

Yes, she is into fashion! This is the Easter hat & ski goggles ensemble. It is so fashion-forward!

My, mommy! What big feet you have!

Good thing I have my mom's big feet & can still manage her size 11's!
