too much cuteness.

okay, she steals all our attention, but seriously. how AH-DORABLE is this little gal?

well anyway, it's been a heck of a past few weeks. karis is up to all sorts of new and exciting things that constantly take meg & brett's attention away from us.... one of which is sitting in this new fangled thing called a "bumbo seat," which i just had to check out:

{karis likes it just a teeeeeeny little bit}

the best part of the bumbo seat is that karis spits up all over it and it's easy to lick up on there. man i love me some good ol' fashioned baby spit up. mmm mmm good.

last thursday, they locked us up in the house the whole day while meg took the kid to BSF and then afterward, they went to hannah & piper's house for karis' first "official" play date with canaan and piper, her new BSF buddies. she enjoyed a head scratch from canaan and piper rolling over on her during the photo shoot so much!

{canaan 2 months; karis 4 months; piper 6 months}

and then there was the day when we got out our favorite new quilt from jess (whose sister, jill, took the great pictures of karis when she was itty biiiiitty...as in 2.5 weeks old...}, while wearing leg warmers from jenny {who also made karis the best onesies ever when she was a little tyke}, and enjoying the SUNSHINE from the front door... something we haven't seen much this winter!

these two pictures describe the three of us kids well... i like to bug karis by sniffing her and licking her and laying beside her...

....and sam could care less. he's missing out on a fascinating little human! {and let's be honest, adorable, too.}
