10 months old!

My baby girl is 10 months old today! Where does the time go? I can't believe that in 2 months she's going to be a year old! That thought makes me feel a little sad, so I try not to think about it.

Kate has developed quite the personality lately! She hates sitting still, and just wants to explore the world. Church is now very interesting/exhausting now. She won't sit on our laps, so we put her down. When she's down she tries to make a break for it. She's fascinated by all the kids in our ward, and is usually trying to go play with them. Then we pick her up and she cries until we give her snacks.


She's reached some new milestones as well!

Kate:

can stand all by herself!
has taken a step or two (when she works up the courage)
is getting 2 teeth!

(they are hard to see, but she's getting her two bottom teeth)

can say "mama, dada, and hey!"
eats 2 baby food meals a day, and snacks all day long
is still nursing, although I am trying to introduce a sippy cup. It's not going well!
loves playing peek-a-bo
dives off furniture
calls people on mommy and daddy's cell phones
loves playing with her cousins
loves story time with daddy

The past couple days Kate has started doing the funniest thing! She finds a baby wipe or a dryer sheet, and she "cleans" things! This kept her entertained for about an hour today!

Cleaning the stairs

Cleaning her stroller
Cleaning the ottoman
She also loves cleaning the entertainment center, the walls, all the furniture, and her toys!

I love you Kate! You make everyday an adventure!
