Hard to believe our little doodlebug turned 10 months old today. In the words of my dad, Tempus sure do Fugit. Much has happened by way of developmental milestones in recent days. Last week, Kate started "cruising" (i.e., holding onto furniture and walking). It's amazing how quickly she is mastering this skill. She is still very cautious, but is balancing better every day. As many of you know, Kate has yet to crawl. I'm told by our pediatrician and other mom-friends that this is perfectly fine. Many babies (including Josh) skip crawling altogether. However, Kate does seem to want to crawl now more than ever. Today she actually army-crawled/scooted backwards a little bit for the first time, so maybe she is getting closer.
I mentioned in my last post that Kate is becoming a chatterbox. She loves to "talk," and the latest sound that she's discovered is a really cute "b" sound that comes out something like "butta butta butta." I happened to catch it on video:
Kate's also learned to drink out of a sippy cup with a straw (she's really taken to it and seems to like it much better than traditional sippy cups). She looks like such a big kid to us with that cup! She's become very adept at eating finger foods and loves them, though she's also learned that Toby likes finger foods, too.
The Conlys let us borrow their push-walker toy that converts to a ride-on. Kate is still trying to figure out the pushing part, but she loves sitting on it! If you're able to enlarge this picture (sorry if that feature doesn't work...we're still figuring out the kinks in the coding) you can see Kate's teeth coming in. She's got 4 on top and 4 on bottom in various stages. They really have multiplied in just the past few weeks!

Wow! Way to go Kate! It's fun to see all the stuff she's doing and to think that Colt will be there in just 2 months!! Yikes :)
