Updates Galore!!

Well first, I should apologize to Kate that I have done such a crappy job of posting about her..sorry baby girl! We really do love you!

Kate turned 1!! Yeah!! She was VERY uninterested in cupcakes..I even had to smash it on her mouth a little bit just to get some fun pics!

Since our last post, Kate has gotten 10 teeth total now. We got one a week for 6 weeks in a row, and then a molar, which gave her fevers of 104!! Miserable!! But we are so grateful to have those done before this next little one pops out!

AND..Kate is finally walking!!!! I have just been dying for her to walk, because I don't know how I will carry 2 babies around everywhere, and she finally started last week. Very unsure, but this week, she now stands up and walks everywhere she can. She is so proud of herself, and we too are so excited for her! She loves it!!! Her cousins Sam, Calvin, and Emry are in town, and she just loves to walk around with them and be one of the "big" kids!

Kate has gotten some sign language down, and is really excellent at pointing out exactly what she wants. She has tossed out a few things we are pretty sure are first words, but nothing definite yet. She's waiting until she's got something real important, I just know it!

Kate has also started throwing fits ...(yah, she's a little young for this darn it!). When she does not get her way, she throws herself on the floor and just lays there crying. It is unfortunately really funny and cute to watch. If I hadn't dropped my camera the other day, I would post some pics of it, because it is HILARIOUS! I'll work on getting a video.

Kate is learning very quickly how to snatch things she wants (where could she have learned that, Taylor?) She is a bit possessive of her toys, story of the 2nd child I guess.

Fav snacks are pretzel sticks. She could eat them all DAY!!

A funny Kate story..Kate LOVES her bed...LOVES! She goes down for naps like a champ. The other day, I put her in bed, gave her little kisses and said goodnight. A few mins later, I heard some whining, which is very uncommon for her, so I peeked in to see what was the matter. Kate was sitting up, but her eyes were totally closed. Everytime her body started to fall down, Kate would let out a whine, but she was dead asleep. Sooo cute! Of course, I went in and laid her down, and she was finally able to sleep peacefully. Poor little girl!
