Month 8

Kara with her 4 month old cousin, Jacob

Yep, drooly wet shirt everyday!

I couldn't resist! lol

3 big sisters and 1 little sister

Kara is 16 lbs. and crawling all over the place!  This month was hard on baby and mommy as Kara broke through 4 teeth!  2 in 24 hrs and the other two over the next week.  Poor little thing gets bright red cheeks when she's teething and is miserable unless being held.  Her sore gums wake her up at night and she wants to nurse a little more at nighttime.  We are both tired and cranky!  When her teeth are not bothering her, she is very happy and playful.  She loves to eat Gerber puffs, yogurt melts, Cheerios, diced pears, cooked peas, diced bananas, toast, and crackers.  She is a really good eater and transitions from breast to bottle nicely. 

Baby Model for Christmas Collection

 Trina wanted some pictures of baby bloomers for her online boutique, so I set to work with Kara and we gave her the pics.  The bloomers all sold out that same day!

BYU Football Game!

It was such a fun experience to go to Reno, NV for a BYU vs. U of R football game.  We got to be up close to the players as they left the locker room to head to the field.  We enjoyed a great game--that BYU won, I might add, and got pics with Kyle Van Noy who is now playing in the NFL.  Such a fun experience!

Thanksgiving Dudley Style

 Does it get any better than this?!  I don't think so!  16 years and counting.  I LOVE this tradition, it's so silly and fun and such a great memory for the kids.

 Twinsies!

 The Littlest Indian of them all

Hide your eyes!  An Indian is about to get pantsed! Hahaha!

Tea Party

 I have been wanting to take these cute white chairs and my great grandmother's tea set out for awhile now to have a tea party in the park.  So, kind of on a whim, I had the girls grab a white shirt and a tutu and hop in the van while I packed up the rest of the stuff.

 They were more than willing to wear pearls and makeup and eat Nilla wafers.

 I put this one up on my wall, I kinda love it!

 So close to perfect!  Oh well, what can you expect from a cold, topless, teething baby?  The other 3 look cute though!  I used only my 50mm lens and am really trying to practice with it and manual mode.  I think I'm making some progress, but it sure is not easy!
