Today my Monkey turns six. Can you believe it? That’s my baby. I know that I say that every year, but this year I really MEAN it!
I did Kate’s photo shoot last weekend before I left on my trip. I know it seems like Kate is always mauling Cooper but he doesn’t leave her alone either. We almost had to put him inside while I was taking pictures because he kept standing between me and Kate. Maybe he’s telling me he hasn’t had enough camera time. I’ll have to get on that.
Back to my Monkey. This girlie has gotten so big. She’s in school, she’s a great little reader, she laments the fact that they don’t do math in kindergarten (they do, but her teacher is sneaky enough to slip it in with pattern blocks and such), she’s a leader among her peers (and sisters), and she’s highly competitive. She’s at the stage where she is still natural enough to say what’s on her mind and naive enough to be funny. She also has an amazing sense of comedic timing that keeps us all cracking up.
This is my new favorite picture of Kate. This is her ‘I am so excited that I going out of my mind!’ look.
This is the look I get when I ask her to be serious.
It lasts exactly 2.7 seconds before she breaks into this…
Happy Birthday Girlie. We love you!
