11 months

11 months! right now miss kate goes around all day long jibber jabbering to everyone or no one at all. it sounds a bit like chinese and it's nothing short of adorable. she loves to be hung upside down, be on daddy's shoulders, to eat dirt (seriously) and do anything outside. shes in a little bit of a mama phase right now and cries when im not holding her, but i cant say i hate it completely. Except sometimes. shes easily entertained and laughs at about everything. still loooves sesame street. will eat pretty much anything we eat. looooves juice. we don't drink much juice in this house because i don't really love it and bj loves it a little too much ((as in, he will literally drink a half gallon of juice in one sitting. not exaggerating)). so although it's a rarity, when she gets chance to have juice, she takes after her daddy and gulps it down as fast as her little mouth will let her. oh and dont get me started on straws. yes, straws! seeing her little lips pucker over a straw is just freaking adorable. oh and shes a walker now! sort of. she takes 6 or 7 steps a few times a day, but prefers to crawl for the most part. she can give kisses and high fives. She will make her mouth into a perfect, tight little O and trys to say uh oh, but it only comes out as ooooooooooooooooh.

this little girl is something else. i love that she seems happy and secure in our little home, like she knows mommy and daddy are takin care of business. when i pick her up she gives me a look that says, "so mom, what's next on our schedule?" shes my little buddy and she knows it, it's my favorite.
