9 Months!

It has been waaaayyyy to long since I have posted. Kate is now 9 months old! My how time is flying by. We are trying to soak up every moment. She is one busy little girlie! Kate had her doctors appointment on Friday, which was the kind I like (no shots!). She was very good and did all her "tricks" for the doctor. Here are her stats:
weight: 18 lbs. (50%)
height: 29 1/2 (95%) :)
head: 17 (25%)

It seems Kate is learning something new everyday. She is definitely keeping her Mommy and Daddy on their toes.
* two teeth on the bottom
* eating solid foods...loves anything mashed...not so fond of the chucky ones yet
* loves to eat cheereos
*her favorite fruit is applesauce
* says mama and dada
* waves bye bye (not always on cue)
* claps her hands when she is excited
* loves to play with anything that is not a "toy"
* pulls up on anything that she can get her hands on
* crawls everywhere...poor Rookie!
* she recently has started to cruise around holding on to things
* enjoys playing with hair... she gets tickled when she gets a handful of dog hair, people hair, and her Papa Boone's mustache!

I will be putting up some more posts soon of her crawling and her first visit to the church nursery!

Kate is concentrating very hard and trying to get the camera. Love those brown eyes!

Favorite toy... the remote control!
She loves to play at the coffee table.

My little laundry helper. She tries so hard to figure out how to climb in the dryer!

Hook 'Em!

Kate had to show off her cheerleader outfit that her Uncle Brian gave her for Christmas. It fit her perfectly for the big game. The football game turned out to be a disappointment, but the cheerleading was fantastic!!

Oh, What A Year!

2009 has forever changed our lives, with the birth of our precious Kate Grace. Each day is filled with new adventures. It is truely a "God thing" watching the world through her eyes. As we bring 2009 to a close, we look forward to all that 2010 has to offer. We wish all of our friends and family a blessed New Year!

New Year's Eve was a big milestone for Kate (more for me!). Kate had her first overnight stay with her Grandparents. Keith's cousin got married on New Year's Eve in Beaumont. So, we loaded up the car with all of Kate's things and Rookie to go and spend the night at Grammy (mom's new name :)) and Grandpa's. They were super excited and Kate's Great Grandma came over too. It was a full house with Kate and three dogs. Keith and I missed her like crazy, but we are so thankful Kate has such fantastic Grandparents that take such great care of her. Thank you mom and dad for taking in our two sweet girls for the night!

Great Grandma and Dinger, Mom, Kate, Dad with Ruby and Rookie..what a group!
