Our happy baby!
So Kate is really working hard to WALK (check out the video of this) All this time she is spending trying to walk must be really making her tired because she is now FINALLY taking longer naps! Instead of the 45 minute naps she was taking she is now taking 2 hours or longer naps!! Also, she is getting in another tooth, her front top left tooth. She is still a super happy baby and loves to dance to 60s & 70s music, try to walk everywhere, swing, slide, and well EAT! I feel like I am feeding her all the time. She is now eating mostly table food. She loves cheese, sweet potatoes, chicken, meatballs, rolls, goldfish, grapes, pancakes, cherries, strawberries, bagels and just about anything I put in front of her! She has also started to drink whole milk. I am trying to wean her off breast milk and we have had 2 nights so far with no breast milk at night and she still slept all night. It is going better than I expected. I think the morning feeding is going to be the hardest for her to give up! She is back in her weekly music class and she loves that!!

Let me see what have we been up to, well we had some of Mike's family here. Mike's cousin Zach is attending UT so his family stayed with us as they were getting Zach settled. Also, Mike's cousins Shelby and Sam where here too. We took Kate to a neighborhood park where she had fun sliding and swinging. Check out the video of us at the park! Due to Kate's love of this, we have decided to get a play scape for the backyard. We hope to have one up by December. It is too hot right now to spend 8-12 hours putting one up!! Last weekend, we attended the Mills twins first birthday party. Kate had fun walking/crawling all over the place. Saturday night Kate had her first ever non-relative babysitter, while we went out for a dinner for the Mills wedding anniversary. The Mills suggested we use one of their 15 year old babysitters and it went great! We are all looking forward to Kate's one year birthday party. I can't believe that she will be a year old already! It has gone by too fast!
