Kate vs. Pasta

One night we thought it would be a good idea to give Kate some spaghetti. Here are the results:

4th of July

We spent 4th of July weekend in Ft. Thomas.

Trying to beat the heat

During the parade some older kids were playing with squirt guns. Ben wanted to get in on the action but didn't have a squirt gun, so he filled a cup of water. He kept asking me (and the other kids) if it was time to throw the water. He kept telling them "you need some assistance!"

Still waiting for the right moment to use his water weapon.

It was finally time...the firemen attacked with their own squirt guns so it was on! Ben poured his water on the street and made it "slippery."

One Year Stats

Kate went for her one-year check-up on June 30th. She weighed in at 20 pounds, 10 ounces (45%) and is 29 1/4" long (50%). She is nice and average! Here is a picture of the happy camper at the pediatrician's office (before getting her shots!)
