Update: Month Twenty

No, I didn't forget, I was just having some technical difficulties... Anyway, here we are at twenty months! We had a little bit of a rough start with those four molars coming in, but since then, things have been going well. Kate seems to be a having a growth spurt right now...finally outgrowing her 12 month clothes! I think those four teeth have played a part in this spurt since now Kate is able to really chow down! She is able to tell me what she wants to eat and when...which is mostly some sort of fruit and often! She also enjoys sausage, noodles, yogurt, and toast. Aside from eating, Kate enjoys coloring (in her coloring books and on herself), playing with her dolls, cooking up food for me and Marc in her kitchen, and playing outside. This month Kate has also enjoyed learning her letters, she walks around the house saying random letters and pretending to spell things out. Needless to say, she keeps me on my toes, and there are actually some days when I am excited to go to work because I get a little break :0) Of course once I'm there I wish I were at home with her!
Helping to bag some leaves. After bagging them up, Kate would take the bag to another area and unload them!

Kate is not partial to dolls, she loves anything that she thinks resembles a baby, including the honey bear that was on the counter. She was being so cute with it, and even wrapping it in a blanket (a dish towel) and rocking it.

We started a little group called music makers in October. Kate loves it! After singing songs and marching around, the kids enjoy a snack (usually nothing I would ever give Kate...like Ding-Dongs!!!) and have story time. She looks SO big here!

More fun in the leaves!

Just looking at this picture makes me laugh! Kate was jumping, and I would say "WOW!" and she just thought the whole thing was hilarious! Also notice her shoes...she put them on, but on the wrong feet.

Hooray for eyes

Our eyes see flies.

Our eyes see ants.

Kate's favorite book right now is The Eye Book by Dr. Seuss...writing as Theo. LeSieg. It's cute, and I just love this illustration!

Book baby

Kate enjoys cleaning out the book basket way more than she enjoys being read to. Every once in a while she will sit while I read her a story, but usually she just wants me to let her down so she can do this...and then sometimes she puts the books back in the basket when she's done...super cute!

Curious George smokes

I was reading Curious George to Kate the other morning, and I thought that this picture and the narration that went with it was absolutely hilarious!
After a good meal and a good pipe George felt very tired.
Apparently he didn't get the memo that smoking is no longer the cool thing to do! The copyright is 1941! I love it...so glad it hasn't been edited for the 2000's!

Deep in thought

This is Kate looking very serious and grown up. Typically after I feed her she falls asleep, but about twice a day, once in the morning and then again in the afternoon she is very alert after eating. She will just look around like this for hours....well maybe not that long, but for quite a while. She'll stare at the ceiling fan and we can read a book, it's really fun. The problem is that then she gets tired but fights going to sleep and gets fussy, and this cute picture turns ugly quick.

Who could scare an elephant?

I have been reading to Kate...not sure she is always interested, but I have been enjoying it. This one is all about the elephant who scares the bear who scares the crocodile.....and well you get the point. Sometimes I read the book as it's written, other times I add more to it as we go.
