Kate is a great eater! On the drive home from Utah, she decided she was done nursing, so she now takes a sipper of formula. She doesn't like to be fed, but would rather feed herself. She only eats table foods (with the exception of yogurt melts). She typically has Cheerios or Crispix for breakfast (with formula milk). Bread with avacodo, turkey and string cheese for lunch. She LOVES fruit and vegetables. Bananas, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, blueberries, apples, peas and corn in particular. She has crackers for snacks. She has exceptional fine motor skills, and 90% of what she puts to her mouth gets into her mouth. We believe Kate is allergic to eggs. We hope she will grow out of it.
Kate likes to talk, and says mamamamama, dadadadada, lalalalalala, and uh-oh. She says uh-oh when she drops something, so it has meaning. She will also yell for Max, "Maaaaaaa!" when she is looking for him.
Kate started crawling last Friday, September 23. She just decided she was ready, and she was off! She finished all physical therapy for her arm. There really is no difference whatsoever between her left and her right. She is right-handed, but will use her left to assist.
Kate likes to read books. She loves watching Signing Time. She has started sleeping through the night on a consistent basis. Kate's right tear duct finally opened, so we did not have to have surgery on it yesterday. Kate loves the swings, and laughs when she is on them. She does not like the elevator, and gets really nervous when we go up and down it. Kate's hair will curl if I put gel in it. It is long enough to put it in a twistie up on top.
Kate loves playing with Max. She tries to keep up with him. Max is typically pretty good about sharing with Kate, but Max would rather Mom plays with him than Kate. Max gets very excited when Kate wakes up in the morning and after her nap. He is always quick to go in and tell her, "Good morning Princess (or Baby Girl). How are you?" It is darling.
We love you Kate!
