I know I need to post the pictures from Kate's 1st birthday party! They are on Mom's camera though and I need to get it from her. I will post them soon! For now, here are a few pictures of our BK since she has turned one.
She has learned lots of new things the past few weeks. The biggest of which is taking 8-10 steps at a time! She is also standing for little periods and I know she will be walking everywhere in no time. She has started pointing at everything which I find SO cute! She points at food she wants, at pictures in books, at objects she is interested in etc. She has learned to throw a ball and will play "catch" with you. She can put food in her mouth using a fork if I have put food on it for her.
She is still very interested in opening and closing doors, drawers, and cabinets and removing whatever is inside them! And books are still a huge delight! She also gives huge hugs to any stuffed animal she touches.
We are sure she has said the words baby, doggie, kitty, light, touchdown (her daddy's work, and we have witnesses), yay, yum, and probably bye bye and hi. She is using "mama" for me all the time now which of course just does me in with the cuteness! Ha:) And she is recognizing more and more of what we say to her too. And of course, she is doing lots of baby babbling.
One of our favorite things about Kate, though, is her love of music! We have (or had, I lost it this week) the new Sovereign Grace kids worship album. Kate absolutely fell in love with it to the point that she would cry in between tracks or if we turned it off! She claps, dances, waves her hands and smiles instantly to any music she hears, but especially that CD. We need to get a new copy ASAP!
BK loves to drink out of grown up cups and mugs. Sometimes, when I've finished my morning coffee, I let her hold the mug. On this particular morning she was "drinking" the coffee with gusto!
At one point she put the mug down and said, "Dum!" very happily ("dum" means "yum":)
She absolutely loves lights and fans and the cords that hang from them. David has to stand on the coffee table to let her touch them and Kate just thinks it's so fun!
Last week our friends, Chris and Kath, stayed with us for a couple of days while they were in between houses. Their little dog, Turk, became fast friends with Kate! She LOVES him and he was so gentle and forebearing with her! They both thought it would be fun to chew on GloryMagicFace at the same time. I thought it was so funny!
We also had a visit from Will, Meg, and Laurel this past weekend! It was a spontaneous trip that we weren't expecting and it was so much fun! Mom, Meg, and I took 2 long trips to Target and the little girls did so well!
Haha, taking after her daddy on the drums! Pardon the lack of clothes, she was getting ready to put jammies on!

I'm telling you, Baby Kate is SOOOOOOOO cute!
I love how David stands on the coffee table to let her touch the light. We have a deer head mounted in our office that Elyana loves to pet... So we stand on chairs the same way. Isn't it fun??
Oh - and I love her drinking out of your (empty) coffee mug and saying "dum"! You should video her drinking, it's soo cute not to! (Although pictures are excellent too.)
She looks SO healthy! And she's just growing by leaps and bounds in her physical prowess too!
Are you weaning her yet? I haven't decided WHEN I'll try, but I remember your mentioning a while back around a year. How often do you nurse now? I guess I'm just thinking ahead....
We need to hang out, PRONTO! Kate has learned so much since last time we hung out!! Let's get together very soon, before she starts talking in sentences :)
