Such a fun week!

Last week was so much fun!! I got to go to Pittsburg to see my Grandma and Great Grandma and Grandpa! Mom and Dad took off work and we all went down to get our family pictures! We should get to see them next week...we will share the link with everyone then so you can take a look! I did a really good job and tried to smile a lot...mom and Dad had to shake a moracca though to make me really happy!! We went out to lunch with Great G'ma and G'pa and then went over to their house to play! I got to play with the teddy bears and I played on the blanket my Daddy used when he was a baby...it is REALLY old! We also went to Grandma's office to meet some of the nice people she works with! It was a really fun trip!

I cut another tooth this week - my 3rd one...top left! I am really ready to have a full mouth of teeth. Then I can eat whatever I want and my mouth will stop hurting!

I had my 1st Halloween! It was so much fun! Grandma and Grandpa Fimmen came over for dinner and to go trick or treating with me! I was a cute little Ladybug and just loved going to the neighbors houses to get candy! I got a total of 5 pieces!!! Grandpa was trying to steal my candy though!!! He is really nice though and always lets me have bites of the goodies!!!! I was really lucky on Halloween and Mom and Dad lifted the ban on teething cookies! I was a really good girl with them this time and I think I got my privileges back!! Yippee!! Halloween really wore me out though - I was just exhausted when we finally came home from trick or treating and passed right out!

Saturday was another shower for Aunt Jenny and Uncle Rob. I watched them open up gifts and got to meet all of Uncle Rob's family...they were very nice to me! Grandpa gave me some ice cream sundae!!! Yippee...I love ice cream just like my mom!

Sunday I went to a baby shower for Dawnielle with mom. They make the cutest things for babies these days! If only I was still a baby....I would want so many of the neat things little Chloe got!!! Mom got inspired at the shower though and has decided she is going to start sewing me bibs, blankets and burp cloths!! I can't wait to see when she is going to fit that in!!! Sunday night we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Fimmen's house to celebrate Grandpa's birthday!! I love to play with them!!

Here I am playing with my Great Grandma!

Grandma Vicki got me new monkey PJs!!!

The teething cookie ban has been lifted!! I was a good girl!

What a busy week!

This was such a fun and bust week! Sunday G'pa Horton babysat me while mom and dad went to the Chiefs game. The game was so bad that mom and dad came home super early!! My Daddy had to travel for 3 days...I missed him so much, but he had to work! He must have missed me too because he gave me lots of kisses when he got home!

Monday night Mom met me, G'ma and G'pa Fimmen, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Rob at the place that the wedding reception will be at! I got to help plan some of the wedding...like what everyone would eat for dinner! It was so much fun - after we all went out to dinner at Garozzo's!

Tuesday my best friend Syndey and her mom Lori and Dawnielle came over to our house for a fun girls night!! We played while the moms talked and ate pizza!

Wednesday Daddy came home from traveling and spent lots of time with me while mommy git her hair done! Thursday was a normal day with my normal routine - I played at grandma's during the day and then did our normal stuff at night! I was super sleepy though and went to bed early!!

Friday was a really fun day...Aunt Jenny and Grandma took me to what mom calls the "best thing to do in Kansas City"! We went to the Junior League holiday mart and shopped like crazy! Aunt Jenny put me in the Baby Biourne carrier and she walked with me - it was so much fun to get to watch everyone and see all the cool things! I love to shop! I even ran into Grandma Horton and mommy at the holiday mart! It was a very fun girls day!! Friday night we had a Halloween party at a neighbors house and I even got to go! I got to stay up past my bedtime and was a really good girl!

Saturday Dad, G'ma and G'pa Horton watched me all day long because mommy went shopping at the Holiday mart again (after all, it only happens once a year)! G'ma and G'pa Horton babysat me while mom and dad went out to dinner and we had so much fun!!

Today we went over to mom and dad's friends house (Rich and Randa). They have a 3 month old daughter Madeline that I got to meet - it is crazy to think I was once that little too!!

I hope this week is as fun as last week!! We go to Pittsburg on Tuesday to get family pictures taken!! I already have a bruise below my eye!!! Ever since I have been so mobile I have been falling and banging myself up all over!!! I love to crawl backwards and roll all over the place! I also like to try to climb on top of things!!! - that is usually how I get ouchy's!!!

Love,

Kate

Standing Video...

Here I am standing all by myself!!

Here I am crawling backwards!

I can do all of this:

Stand holding on to someone or something, play peek-a-boo, wave, clap my hands, give "five", crawl backwards, pull up into a sitting position from my stomach, pull into a standing position from sitting. I love to say: Momma, Dada, baba, Poop, boo and some other stuff no one else understands but me! I should say however that I do not really do anything on command...just when I want! hahahaha!!!

Love,

Kate

Hello Everyone!

It has been about a week since I have posted pictures and video, so today is the day! I had a really busy week. My Grandpa Fimmen moved back to Kansas City and I am so happy! We went over to G'ma and G'pa's house to welcome him home last Sunday - he drove all the way from Massachusetts's to be here! We have a fun dinner and I got to play with him! I just love staring at him!!

I am a really inquisitive baby and love to stare at people and things to figure them all out! I can get really wild too. Lately I have been making monster sounds and they make everyone laugh so hard! I learned how to crawl backwards and just today I learned how to lift myself back up into a sitting position from a crawling position and laying on my belly! I am so strong! It will be any day that I am crawling all over the place. Today mom and dad are starting to baby proof the house! It is so fun because they think I amn in one place but I trick them and move somewhere else! Our house has such fun things I want to play with - I can't wait to have freedom and crawl anywhere I want!!

Grandma Fimmen got me a walker to play with at her house! I am not that tall and can't get it to move everywhere, but I can tell it will be one of my favorite toys soon! I can't wait to roll all over that house! Grandma has a big bouncy ball at her house that I love to crawl on and bounce on - so much fun!

I have so much fun pulling myself up on everything to stand! It is such a fun new trick that I want to stand all the time, after all, I have laid around for almost 8 months! My teeth are still bothering me a lot! I just want all of them to grow in already! I heard that I will not get them all until I am around 2 - no fair!

Well, I better go take a nap, I am getting a bit grouchy!

Love,

Kate

I crawl backwords!

I just love to roll around all over the place. You better not leave me alone for long because I go crazy!! I can now crawl backwards! It is so cool that I can get the things I want now. I just scoot back and there it is!!! So Fun!
Love,
Kate

Update about me!

I have some new tricks!!! I can wave hi and bye (I think you already know that because I could do that a long time ago), I can "give five", I can clap and today Grandma Fimmen taught me how to play paddy cake!! I am really getting to be a big girl!

I am working on crawling right now - so far I can get into the crawling position and I love to rock back and forth! I can really reach for things and will get into the crawl position and throw my body towards things to get them! I love to pull myself up on things - in fact, Mom and Dad had to lower my crib because they were nervous I would jump right out of it!! I think everyone is nervous for when I do crawl....they are wondering how they will ever be able to go to the bathroom without putting me in a safe place! Right now I am pretty easy because they know I can not get too far....just wait!

I got this really cool toy that is a big band and I love to hit it as hard as I can and giggle to play the music! Everyone thinks I like to play rough and that I am a little bit wild and crazy!! I love it when my dad makes funny faces at me - he makes me smile so big and just die laughing...he is one funny man!

I am eating lots of baby food now. I still do not really like meats, but love my fruits and even most of my veggies! Mom even let me have some bites of her frozen yogurt the other day...it may now be my favorite food!!

I have my two bottom teeth, but now my top 2 are trying to come in and boy do they hurt. I have not been able to sleep really well this week because they hurt so bad. I am so lucky I have such a nice mom and dad who just LOVE to spend time with me in the middle of the night when I can't sleep! I know they love to play with me at 3am!! They are such night owls, just like me!!

I have some really good news!!! My Grandma and Grandpa Fimmen are moving back to Kansas City!! Yippee!! That means I can play with them all the time! Grandpa will be here in a few days! I can't wait to see him....he may not recognize me I am so big now!

Aunt Jenny's wedding is getting really close! I can't wait to be her flower girl! My dress is so pretty! My Grandma and Grandpa Horton are going to take care of me a lot the weekend my Aunt Jenny gets married! I get to go to all the parties, but can't stay up as late as the grown ups do...darn!

Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Horton were in town. We ate at a really fun restaurant and I got to play with them There is a picture of me and Grandpa below!

I have to say...I am really attached to my pacifier! I just love that thing even more now that I am a big girl. Ihope I can suck onit forever and ever...even when I am big!

Love,
Kate
