August

So what have we been up to in August so far? Well, I spend my first weekend away from Kate!! I had a blast with some ladies from my Mommy Group from here in Pflugerville. We traveled down to San Antonio and had a wonderful kid-free weekend!! I missed Kate, but I knew she was in good hands with Mike! Kate and Mike had a great time together, but were glad to have me back at home!
This weekend Kate and I headed to Houston with my friend from college, Becca. We met up with our other friends from college: Amanda, Abbie and Katie. It was great to see everyone and funny to see our kids play together!

Kate's 10 mth photos

So Kate took some really great photos this time!! She was full of smiles and really took to the photographer!

New family pictures

So since Mike's Mom was in town, Mike and I had two nights out last week!! We went to a happy hour with his grad school friends and went out for my 31th birthday. I had a great birthday, so much better than last year when I was so big and pregnant!! Mike took me to the Melting Pot for dinner and then we were joined by friends at Esters Follies and then headed to 6th street. It was a really great birthday! Thank you so much to Gram for babysitting, Mike for making my day so special and to all my friends who joined in on the fun!

As for Kate, she had her first IHOP pancake and she loved every minute of it!! She really loves to eat! I think she is more and more fun every day!

Kate update

Kate now knows how to give Kisses (open mouth licks actually) and give High 5!! She even gave her hairy sister Sammy a kiss!! She also took some steps on her own tonight!!

Be sure to check out our new videos!

My happy 10 mth old baby!!

Kate turned 10 months old on Tuesday!! I can't believe it! She is still such a happy joyful baby. She loves to dance and claps all the time! She loves books and loves to be read to. She likes to eat, and I sometimes wonder how she is so small with all that she eats! She loves cheese, yogurt, baby puffs and of course Cheerios! She also loves the water and likes to splash me! She is cruising all over the furniture and as you can see on the video she loves to push her toy that is on wheels. She can stand by herself but only for a few seconds. I feel like she is going to be walking soon. She is still sleeping all through the night, and I am down to only breastfeeding her twice a day. My only complaint is that she doesn't nap much during the day! She will maybe take a 45 minute nap all day!! Also, she seems to be going through a "I only want Mommy or Daddy" stage. It was horrible while we were on our trip because she hardly let anyone else hold her but Mike or myself. It's really weird because a few months ago, she would let anyone hold her. Hopefully she grows out of this!

As you can see in these photos, her hair has gotten much longer and is getting more blond. She took really great 10 month photos!
