Andrew's brother has a conference to go to here in St. Louis, MO. He is here all week for the conference, so his family came along to visit us and stay at our house. Their two sons are Kara's Cousins. One is 7 months old like Kara, only one week younger than her, named Abidan. Ephram is 3 years old and is the oldest of the three cousins. For Halloween they will all be here to trick or treat. It will be both Kara and Abidan's first Halloween. My sister-in-law, Kyoung and I made their costumes. The kids are all dressing up as M&Ms. Kara being the girl is the green M&M. Ephram is the tallest and walks around to be the Yellow Peanut M&M, and Abidan is the red, boy M&M.
Some how after Kara was born I ended up with 3 cribs, which turned out good for when all three babies/toddler are staying here to each have there own bed to sleep in. We are so happy that they were able to make a visit out here. It is so fun to watch the cousins all interact. We have our hands full though...double the diapers with both Abidan and Kara. Luckily Ephram is potty trained, he is 3 yrs old and doesn't have to wear the diapers. Nap time is a challenge too with getting all three to nap the same time. Right now, the two babies are napping and Ephram is having lunch. Later on after the naps we are heading over to Walmart Super center, where there is a portrait studio. Kyoung and I are going to get the kids dressed in the M&M costumes for a group photo (to be posted later on another post).

Kara's Full Day With a Babysitter
Last weekend Andrew and I hired a babysitter to watch Kara at our house while we spent the day at our friends wedding. Andrew was the best man and I was a wedding coordinator. The wedding was held at a Winery about an hour drive away. Leaving Kara with a sitter all day from noon til 9:30 pm! It was the longest we had been apart from her.
She is 6 1/2 months now, and starting to crawl/scoot around the room. The funny thing was, the other day, she crawled from the living room all the way to the dog bowl of water! "Oh, Kara...that's icky!" I said, as I was picking her up and swiveling her around to crawl another direction. It was too funny. Then one morning I set her on the kitchen floor while I was fixing her a bottle. Duke (our dog) was laying on the floor in the doorway to the kitchen...Kara was in dertermination mode, crawling and scooting over towards Duke...ALMOST there...Duke decides to get up and walk away! Oh the disappointment I could see with Kara, rejected like that. So much effort she put into crawling over to him, about 5 minutes or so waisted! It was so cute.
Pretty soon she will be crawling quicker and reaching Duke before he can escape. Haha.
