11 months old

Well Kara is only 1 month away from being 1 year old!!  I'm excited but I'm so sad, I really can't believe how fast it is going.  Since it's 100 degrees out here in Tulare (record highs....lovely) we've been spending a lot of time inside and I've been able to get Kara to finally use her walker.  That thing was kind of dangerous a month ago for her.  She's figured it out and knows how to control it now.  Today she actually stood on her own for me and took one step towards me, but wouldn't do it again.  She has a confidence issue and the second she realizes she's not holding onto anything she drops to the floor.  If she's focused on something though then she'll stand for a little bit on her own.   I'm sure she'll start walking before I know it!  
I really love the age she is at, everyday she's learning something new.  Now I can tell her to go find her silky and pacifier and she does!  She also has learned what a monkey says and makes a funny monkey sound, I'll have to get that on video sometime.  Although she is good at throwing little temper tantrums once in a while and lets just say her Daddy always gives in.  She already has him wrapped around her finger and he knows it!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone!  We had a very quiet day, eating leftover pizza and taking a 2 hour nap....all of us!  I know, it's kind of depressing but we had a sick child on our hands all weekend so it was best that we just stay home.  We did go to church this morning and had a great service with beautiful music and Kara got to sit with us in church since I didn't want to put her in the nursery.  She loved the music too!  What a blessing it is to serve such an awesome Savior! I thought I better post a few pictures up of Kara in her Easter dress for the Grandma's, she really wasn't in the mood for pictures but we got some that were cute.  


Checking out her Easter basket, full of empty Easter eggs!
