crazy-haired ballerina bunny chicken

Sweet Cate,
You have added lots of smiles to our home in the year that you have been with us.

Hobbies include:
Clapping and bopping your head
Air piano
Ball
Chasing Olivia
Escaping from Olivia after she pins you
Climbing up stairs but angry going down

Crazy hair day

This year you sort of got 3 halloween costumes...

1. Excited ballerina

2. Happy-but-getting-tired-bunny

3. Chicken that looks like it laid too many eggs

More to blog sometime, but now it's time for me to clean up the bottles, nipples and lion statue you left on the kitchen floor.

Love,

mom

Dear Cate,
Today you climbed a flight of stairs.

Move over Honey Boo Boo

Dearest Cate,

In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined having such a blue-eyed, army-crawling, binky-sucking, gummy-smile-munchkin.

Cate, you had the cutest baby mullet.

A braided mullet is so Honey Boo Boo. So we cut it off.

It's not unusual for you to have a poop diaper, runny nose, spit-up all over...and still smiling. I have a lot to learn from you.

Love,

mom

a thug with a sock monkey

Dear Cate,

Today you're 6 months old! You are such an easy-going baby, with a smile and a dimple that make mommy's heart melt.

We still do not have photos of you with all your cousins, aunts and uncles...we have many reasons for not having our camera on and ready for action...
So sorry about this, but you're the second baby (just like mommy was), so we may have fewer photos taken of us. It's not because we're loved less or any less cute than the first kid...it's just because. That is all.

Paige, Alaina and auntie Awesome came to visit after Olivia spent the week with them. And I got to bond with you and you got a week off from being tickled and tackled by a curious 3 year old.

This made auntie Awesome even Auntie Awesomer.
