Today Kara had her four month checkup. She got her second round of shots and boy does she take those like a champ! Daddy held her and talked sweetly to her while the nurses quietly did their duty. Amazingly, she just let out a small cry and went on with her business....her business being a happy little baby! It is funny because the nurse about to give the shots said, "I don't mind giving crying babies shots because they are already crying. But Kara is just so happy I don't want to have to give her a shot and make her cry." .....We are so lucky to have such a happy baby and we both feel VERY blessed!
Speaking of a happy baby, here she is today laughing while Daddy plays. He is so good with her!! I do love watching them play and interact together :)
It is so hard to get a picture of her smiling because every time she sees a camera she sits and stares at it. But with Mark around to help, I was able to get this picture. Notice, she is finally starting to get just a little bit of hair!
Kara has started spotting Sylvester (the cat) and she will just sit and watch her. It's kinda funny to watch them both just watching each other sometimes.
Here is Kara sitting in her bumbo chair with one of her more favorite toys. I have heard that babies like toys with faces and watching her, I definitely believe that. She will just stare at this little guy. Today we gave her this toy while she was in her walker and she just stared at it and started talking to him! How cute :)
The other day, it was time to go get milk, so Kara and I took a trip out to the farm. We got out and walked around while I showed her the chickens and the cows and the horses. I'm sure, in the not too distant future, she will try chasing all the animals, but for now, she just happily listened while Mommy told her what she was seeing :) While we were there, she got to meet the farmers....they got up from their nap just as we were getting ready to leave but of course, Kara can't pass up a good conversation so she hammed it up for a few minutes with them!
Just the last couple of weeks, Kara has started picking things up (knowingly) and is beginning to play with them. She likes to pick things up and study them both by feel and by sight. She will pick this one up and feel the round end.
I don't think she could get that bottom lip out any further this particular morning!!
Kara playing...with her serious face.... (she see's that camera again!)
