9 Months Old Already?! We can't believe it..time really flies when you have such a sweet baby. This month has been incredible as far as development goes. Katelyn sits completely unassisted for huge periods of time. She is such a good girl because even though she loves to explore, she will sit and read a book happily and play with her blocks...instead of making me chase her throughout our house:) Gotta love that! Her favorite game this month is knocking over blocks when we build her a "tower." This is a great way for her to burn off energy at the end of the day...she is willing to crawl ANYWHERE you put a block tower:) Which brings me to the subject of "crawling..." Katelyn has chosen the hard route so far. She prefers to swim on the ground, scootch, roll...ANYTHING BUT CRAWL. She does manage to get everywhere so as long as she isn't complaining, neither are we. Katelyn's big thing this past month is also standing. Oh she just loves to stand! She holds on to the furniture unassisted beautifully. Maybe she is going to skip crawling??? Who knows...all I do know is she is just a joy to have around and listen to. Yup, she is talking up quite a storm...after hours of reading to her, she finally decided to say "RED BUG" this month (the poem goes.."Red bug red bug nice and round, sitting on a big green leaf she found.") Well, she has fallen in love with this book and one night she just was laying down with the book and shouted "Red bug!" Will and I (and his cousin Steve) were shocked! We all sat there in disbelief. She kept going..."red bug...buggy bug...bug red...red bug..." oh, it was so cute! Figures we couldn't catch it on video. She says it spontaneously, definitely not on cue.
As far as eating goes, not much has changed yet. I am giving her gerber everything but meats (those look so gross, I just can't do that to her!!!), 3 bottles a day, and finger foods (apple slices, zwieback toast, biter biscuits...). She only has 2 teeth so I am nervous to give her any other big people food just yet.
She and I joined mommy & me this month and are having a blast. Who would have thought I would enjoy being a mommy so much?! Daddy is very proud of how happy she is to see him everyday when he comes home from work and I enjoy every second I spend with her...oh so fun!!!!!!! Tomorrow is my first Mother's Day. Will and Katelyn are going on a date later to buy me a gift:) It's a fun job I have!

EASTER SUNDAY CLICK HERE FOR PICS OF KATE'S TRIP TO NEW YORK!	Kate enjoying bath time in her new bath seat April 11, 2002	April 12, 2002 Katelyn is 8 months old today:) She is no longer a toothless wonder! On April 9th, while in New York , Katelyn was fussing (which is definitely out of the ordinary for her!) and as I gave her some orajel, I felt a teeny sharp spot on the bottom middle section of her mouth. Since then a white spot has been shining bright, but is still too small to photograph. The one on the left is starting to come up as well...I gave a her a biting biscuit and she was as happy as can be so so are we:) Katelyn has become extremely active this month. We lowered her crib mattress to the lowest setting since she is rolling everywhere. She can crawl about an inch, but that's about it. It probably won't be long! She is eating pretty much anything stage 2 Gerber at this point and is down to about 20 ounces a day of formula...sometimes less. I weighed her at my grandparents and she was 20 pounds on the nose (if the scale was accurate) so she isn't gaining as much as before which is fine. I think the increase of activity is playing a big part on that end. That's about it! She is in her ultrasaucer right now calling "Maaaaaa" so time to go play!:)
