On to new happenings in Miss Kate's life. She cut her first tooth last Tuesday, October 6th. I do not have a picture of it but when it really "pops" out I will try to get one. It looks like the other bottom tooth, right next to the one that has popped out, is trying to make an appearance as well. She has been pretty good considering the horror stories we have heard about the teething process. OR, we are just used to our cranky baby so any signs of teething were probably overlooked.
Also new this week is Kate standing in her crib. Now when we walk in her room there she is in standing position. She tries to pull herself up when she is on the floor but she usually grabs onto something that is not too steady so she falls on her butt. She is also very curious and grabs at anything that looks interesting to her; usually things I do not want her getting into, NO, we have not baby-proofed our home yet! In fact, I am going to have to put everything away in her room, decorative items that is. She is crawling and reaching for everything so playtime is supervised! I can't even leave the room to make a bottle because she gets into something which results in a cry. She banged her head on a small tin toy container yesterday. Kate saw it on her bookshelf, crawled towards it, pulled the box and all of the toys out, and of course was more interested in the tin box itself than the toys in it. Next thing I know I hear a cry and see a red mark on her forehead! Needless to say, she is fine.
Kate is also "talking" more. Yelping and screeching is more what it sounds like. The noises are so funny I need to record them so you can hear what we hear. She is starting to entertain herself, which gives us little breaks to get some housework or other tasks done.
I just thought this was a cute picture of Kate. She has always LOVED bathtime and her hair is now long enough to make "pineapple" head or other silly things out of it.
Another cute picture of Kate and her BFF, Blake. Poor Blake, we have now resorted to calling him "Lenny," from the book "Of Mice and Men." I never read it so forgive me if I mis-titled the book or misspelled the name. Anyhow, I know the premise and Blake is like this big dumb dog that does not know his own strength and I fear that he is going to "paw" at her or roll on her. However, on this day he was very sweet and gentle and wanted to "play" with Kate. He still does not know what to make of her!
We also took family pictures at Gateway Park on October 3rd. As you can see from the picture, that is exactly how Kate felt about the whole thing. She and her dad HATE taking pictures. Luckily Chris cooperated, but Miss Kate did not. We did not get one picture of her smiling, but I still think we got some cute pictures. Chris is not going to want to hear or read this, but we are going to take more in November!
So all in all, that is what happened this week. Exciting stuff people! Keep posted for new and exciting adventures in Kate's world.
Yea! Glad you're back! That's a bummer about your previous posts though. Our dogs have a healthy fear of Molly, whenever she moseies over to them they always get up and go away which makes her pretty sad because she LOVES them.
ReplyDeleteKate has the best head of hair, it's the cutest. It's a good thing I'm not into bows because I would have been sorely dsapointed with Molly's whispy little head of hair :-)
