Kate -6 Years Old

6 years ago TODAY...
Sunday, August 21, 2005,
Kathryn Lauren was born!
7 lbs 10 oz
21 inches
11:04 pm
Hit it....her first dance pose at 2 days old!
Kate has always loved to dance.

Kate has always had a calm sweetness about her.
As a baby she was so peaceful looking around.
The only time she would cry was when I would try to put her to bed.
She would cry and cry until I would give up and place her in her bed, still crying.
Immediately she would stop.
She didn't want to cuddle, and was so independent as a new baby.
She was so easy to put to bed.Abby has always been a great big sister to Kate....
entertaining her and reading to her when she was just 5 days old.

Abby and Kate are 2 years and 3 months apart.
PERFECT~!
The first so blond, the second so brown!
Our sweet baby Kate!
A few days old.
Kate always loved to do V legs as a baby.
She was already working on her splits!
So quiet, so calm.
Kate has always had a lot of hair,
but we didn't know she had curly hair until
she was 18 months old....shocking!
We are so lucky to have Kate in our lives.
Abby loving the baby for the last time in my tummy.

Tomorrow, Kate will start Kindergarten.
It has been so much fun to have her home with me for the past 6 years.
Here are some of the qualities we love and admire about Kate.

She is very helpful, vacuuming, mopping, doing dishes....a lot of times without even being asked. She is happy. She has a fun sense of humor and loves to laugh. She loves to make things nice. She is often found straightening the pillows on the couch or adjusting the skirt on her bed. She is positive, "Oh sure, I can do that" are words she often will speak. She loves babies and especially loves playing with Lucy. She loves to cook and bake in the kitchen. She loves to dance, to sing and to perform. Her favorite place she has ever been was to Hawaii. She is most excited for projects at school.
We love you Kate! We are so glad you are apart of our family!

PS No playing kissing tag at recess!!!
