11 Months

I've been a bit of a blog slacker lately.  Sorry about that.  Kate turned 11 months old on October 14.  That was also the day my little brother was ordained as a pastor and we had a huge family gathering to send off he and his wife to their new church in New Jersey.  Things were a little crazy, so we didn't get around to taking Kate's pictures until a few days later.  And the little stinker just won't sit still.  Each month seems to get harder and harder, but hopefully we got a few good ones.

come back here!

At just shy of a year, Kate's newest favorites seem to be:

• hummus
• Provolone cheese
• music (and dancing to the music)
• buttons
• cords
• walking ALL OVER the place (with our hands)...I'm pretty sure she could walk all day long and she's getting pretty good at it.  Matt predicted that she'll walk on her own before she's one.  We'll see:)
• keys
• remote controls
• waving and saying 'hi'
• other kids
• patting your back
• being outside
• splashing in the bath tub
• gritting her top tooth on her bottom two teeth (which drives me nuts!)
• laughing at herself in the mirror
• picking up strings or tiny pieces of things on the floor
• feeding herself

And a few of our not-so-favorites:

• teething
• diaper rashes
• the vacuum cleaner
• the blow dryer
• getting her face wiped (I'm pretty sure no kid likes this)
