Our Cute Little Six-Month Old

That's right, Kate is six-months old today. I can't believe it. It sure doesn't seem like it's been that long already. She is such a smiley little girl, as long as she is being held anyway! She loves Lucy and can't take her eyes off her when she is around. They are starting to interact more and more and no one can get Kate to laugh like Lucy can!

The Patch

I took Lucy to the eye doctor again yesterday. And she needs to wear a patch--surprise, surprise. Lately when she focuses on things up close her right eye crosses inward and it kept getting worse and worse. The first time I took her in the eye doctor said that she would grow out of it. No such luck, especially since I had the same thing when I was about her age. She is suppose to keep a patch over her good eye for four hours everyday, for a few weeks and then go back in and see how she's doing at that point. Then maybe they'll see about getting her in glasses. It has been a bit of a struggle already getting her to think the patch is 'cool'. I remember it being miserable. It's no fun to not be able to see good. Here are a few pictures . . .

Lucy's first day with the patch
Today, with her doll and matching patches with Elmo stickers. My mom was so good about trying to get me to wear my patch. She made patches for all my dolls, so we tried that with Lucy today. I still had to about sit on her and pin her arms down to get it on her.

Troublemaker

You thought I was talking about Lucy, our two-year old, didn't you. But no, not this time, just our lovely dog- Judd. Anyway, he just can't seem to stay home. He just loves to roam around from one house to the next. And it's super hard, because we live out on the farm and have no 'fenced in yard'. He can't be normal like all the other dogs and just stick around. Oh, and he chews. Yes, but usually only things that you really don't want him to. Like 2 pairs of lovely high heels, Lucy's favorite crocs, Nathan's shifter thing in his car. Oh yeah, be sure to make sure your car doors are all shut if you come to our house. That being said, anyone looking for a new dog? He's an 8-month old german wirehair pointer, very cute, loves people, runs away often, and chews everything . . .

Pajama Time

Lucy and Kate in their first matchy matchy jammies. Kate was not enjoying Lucy holding her or the pictures, as you can see, this was the best I could get.
