Little Family Blog: October 2011

Whew, seems like we have dust trailing after us because time is passing so fast! I know once again I have waited a little more than a month and it feels like I just posted yesterday. Kate is growing and understanding so much these days. It is so much fun to watch her each day advancing in the new things she is learning.
Over the past month Kate has learned to clap, dance, wave, give kisses, and do high fives :) We went to a Texas Rangers game at the end of September and I wasn't to sure how she was do because of how loud it was but she did awesome! The noise scared her at first but as long as she knew me and Drew were ok, then she was ok, as long as we were holding her close during the fan cheers. It was so much fun and we would definitely take her back to one. After we were there for just a little bit she seemed to really enjoy it. Well we had some new pictures taken of the family and just of little missy too. Both turned out so good and hopefully I will be able to post some to share them soon.
So we finally got a bike trailer that can be connected to the back of our bikes. I was so excited because now we can both go bike riding and even with our friends too! Kate really seemed to like it but then again it is outside and Kate pretty much loves to do anything outside and with this gorgeous weather I am totally fine with that now!
Kate is still not crawling but she manages to get a few places when she wants to. However, she would honestly like you to just get up and let her hold on to your fingers so she can walk around. It is so exhausting when that is all she wants to do. She will literally start crying or fussing when you stop. When she starts walking she will be leaving all of us behind, haha! She is pretty much eating the food we eat now. I tear chicken and turkey into little pieces and she will chew them without a problem but then again she does have 6 teeth and two more about to break through on the top. She is definitely armed and ready to eat! It was so strange because for the first time yesterday I put her in her highchair and gave her little finger foods and she didn't even need my help. She fed herself entirely on her own. She does seem like a human vacuum cleaner though that doesn't have an off button. She will just eat and eat until I make her stop.
We had a pretty busy weekend we went to the fair here in Paris where Kate saw some parrots and loved them! She just screamed (in a talking manner) to them and she also got to pet some horses, which she loved! We also went to Canton this past weekend with some of our friends that have a little boy named Liam. He is about a month younger than Kate. Both of the kids did wonderful and we had so much fun too!! Hopefully we will get to go again in the Spring.

Let me tell you Kate has become very good at mimicking us when we make noise or movements it is funny and kinda of scary at the same time. I just didn't realize that it started this young, guess it is one way for the Lord to keep me in check, lol.
We are going on Kate's first flight in November to visit some family and throw a 40th Anniversary party for my parent's. We are so excited to see everyone and Kate will finally get to meet her little cousin Jessa!
Alright so we don't go to the doctor again until the 18th of this month and I have a few things I need to talk to him about so hopefully we will have some updates for you at the end of this month on that...well that is about it for now, let me post some pictures of our exciting month we had!
