Kate at 9 mths

Kate saw the DR today for her 9 mth check-up!
She is 26 inches (5%) and weights 17 lbs 7 oz (25%).

The doctor thought she was such a happy baby! She even clapped for the doctor! Even though she is small, she looks very healthy!

Kate is finally getting a tooth!

So finally Kate is getting a tooth, it only took 9 mths! It is still under her gum, but you can feel it trying to make it's way!

She seemed to like swimming lessons, even though I think she was too young for them. I think next summer will be alot more fun. But she did go completely under the water and didn't seem to mine it! The very first time she cried, but she also got a mouthful of water! The next few times, she was super cool about it!

Also she has started to stand without holding onto anything! Just a few times, but she is getting the hang of it!



You have to love her crazy hair!
Her most favorite thing right now is to eat her morning Cheerios!!

Kate at swimming lessons



Another Hail storm!

I can't believe it but we had another hail storm last night! And this time there were tornadoes all over the place. Mike was at a happy hour so the girls and I were scared! Due to the chance of a tornado in the area, we (as the TV was advising us to do) all got into our little closet under the stairs. Sammy was super scared and climbed through the chairs to the back of the closet!
Poor Mike he drove through the hail and probably should have pulled over on the side of the road, but didn't, he says that he just wanted to get home to us! What a crazy night!

The River





Well this past weekend we made our annual trip to the Other Place in New Braunfles on the Comal River. This was Kate's first trip there (if you don't count being in my belly last year!) and she seemed to love it! She didn't float, but had fun in the baby pool in the river. It was great to be with the family! Before the river, we had my aunt Julie, Uncle George and their kids, my cousins, James and Emily at our house for a night. James, who is 8, seemed to form a bond with Kate. She took to him like I have never seen her take to anyone! Every time he would come near her, she would recognize him and get super excited and smile from ear to ear!!
