meet kate

episode six.




this might be my favorite age so far.
everyday she learns something new.
time is flying by too fast.

meet kate episode five

let's just pretend i didn't skip 'meet kate' for  march and april.
turns out getting peanut to hold still for 2 minutes is hard work.
and when she did play along and stay still, all she would do is stare at herself in the camera viewer.
not exactly blog-worthy [but definitely cute]

so here's the fifth meet kate video.
it crazy to look back on the first one [just click on the 'meet kate' link at the bottom of this post]
she's growing up so fast.





hope everyone has a fabulous memorial weekend.

'the face' captured on film!

meet kate


here she is in all her mullet glory. [please excuse the messy apartment- that's how it goes some days]

episode four

'the face' is probably not funny to anyone but us.
but when she does it- whew boy! we are rolling on the ground, howling and gasping for air.
oh the joys of having a kid.


ps. my second fav part-- when she puts the rug on her head. what goes on in that little head???

elmo obsession continues

meet kate

i skipped december's 'meet kate' because despite multiple efforts, nothing i filmed was any good.
it was always video of her running away from me which would work if this series were called 'watch kate run'.
but it's not called that so i skipped a month.
it's my blog so i can do things like that.

this two minute clip only took me 5 tries and an elmo doll to get something good.
(i use the term good loosely)
oh, and a banana that she had to eat in between takes.
she's a demanding actress, what can ya do?!
there was also a diaper change somewhere in those 5 tries but you don't want to hear those details.

so here she is-
older, more stubborn and with pigtails.

episode three

ps- bb i tried desperately to capture kate's new look but she wasn't going to do it. no way, no how.

roast, cheesy potatoes, green beans and craziness

 jank-

i owe you a big thank you for making this video happen.
i wasn't planning on filming round 2 of "meet kate" at the dinner table but you two had quite the act going on.
you babbled nonsense, she would babble back.
and so on, and so on, and so on....
it was awesome.
until it was annoying (just kidding, you never annoy me. (yeah right))

i've watched this 4 times already and i'm still laughing.

it's the wolf... it kills me every time.

maybe next time i'll set the camera down so it's not so shaky.

remind me, ok?

enjoy:

episode two

inspired

disclaimer:

every good idea i have is taken from someone else's good idea.

i am a idea thief.

for this, i apologize.

but at least i give credit when credit can be given.

ryan,


i hesitated to post this.
i debated for last two weeks about it.
i have no creative skills.
none.
you have an amazing talent.
or talents, i suppose.
your photos and videos inspire me.
they make me so jealous i could scream.

it makes me happy that you are aware of your talent.
i'm glad you're following your dreams.
thanks for creating awesome stuff to look.


i hesitated to post this for many reasons:

~i know for most people it will be boring.
~i have fluorescent lights in my apartment.
~my video camera is nothing fancy.
~i sound ridiculous on camera.


and then i told myself to shut up and just post the dang video.

episode one

thank you for the inspiration!
your tessa is absolutely beautiful.

maybe someday i will recreate your maternity series.
because it almost made me cry it was so well done.
and i'm a sucker for pregnant bellies-
so weirdly alien and beautiful all at the same time.

thanks again!

kayla
