It's hard to believe a year has passed, and yet, it seems as if Kate has always been a part of our family. She continues to be such a smiley, happy girl, especially when she is well-rested and full. Besides "Dada", we've heard her say "doggie", "Mama", and "nana" (banana). She is in the habit of pointing at objects and babbling, so we know she is ready to be able to express herself with words!
She is definitely getting around more on two feet than crawling. She stumbles here and there but is becoming more confident daily. We have to keep a close eye on her because those two feet often lead her to trouble. She loves to sit and "color" at Audrey's art table, but that can quickly change to standing on the chair!
Kate loves to read! She now carries books to us and situates herself on our lap. Sometimes we only are able to read a page or two before she switches to a new book, but it seems as if her love for reading is developing at the same pace as her sister's.
The other thing Kate continues to love is food. She'll eat anything and everything and definitely out-eats Audrey. Sometimes I think she can out-eat an adult! I love having her as a critic for my cooking!
It's been fun to watch Kate's attention span with toys grow. She seems to be able to occupy herself a little longer now. Tonight she was giggling as she threw one of Audrey's dollhouse children out the windows of the dollhouse over and over. What a goof!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATE! We love you.
