July Fun

Can you tell Kate is a happy baby? She is especially giddy during her baths...and she loves getting a little baby massage afterwards.


I thought that photo looked very familiar, so I found this picture of Avery at almost exactly the same age (almost 4 months):
Of course during July, we celebrated Independence Day at G.G. and Grandpappy's house. It was Kate's first time in the pool:
And here's GG and Grandpappy with the girls:
You can imagine how much fun Avery had with the sparklers. And thanks to my darling husband, Avery mantra for the day was, "Let's light these bad boys!"



This month we've enjoyed our evenings with the Taylors, and I'm thankful to have someone else to hold Kate for a while :-)


Avery and Kate are already vying for boys' attention...looks like Avery's boyfriend, Graham, is already moving in on the little sister.


My girls with their polka-dot pajamas (they're so adorable!):


We were extremely adventurous and took the kids to the butterfly museum one day after Avery's school. Let's just say that Avery posed for this picture just before I pretended not to know her due to a fit of hysteria outside the ladie's bathroom.

Avery insisted on helping Lee mow the lawn, so we got her the bubble lawn mower, which she followed Lee's every step with (no matter how hot and sweaty she got).

Here Avery is giving herself a "thumbs up" and saying "I do a good job!"


And my sweet baby sleeps through it all!


As much as I wanted Kate to look like me, I think she's looking more and more like her sister! Just look at the resemblence (well, at least they're both bald as can be):
