16 months

Kate is well into her 16th month of life and she’s changing and growing everyday. I can hardly keep up! She likes to do "big" girl things like her bubba such as using a fork.  She also doesn’t like her food cut up as much as I used to do and she now sits at the table in her booster chair!

Kate is a very curious little girl and twice now she’s followed her brother into the bathroom and proceeded to stick her hand in the toilet bowl while he is peeing. Gross doesn’t even describe it but she seems to be enjoying herself!  She still is going to bed around 7pm and wakes up anywhere between 6-7am. Some days she takes two naps and other days zero naps. She’s learned to hold our hands while we bless the food at dinner. She delights us with her rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". We can hear the tune and understand her saying "up above". Kate loves books. She loves to read, wants to be read to and is highly entertained by pulling all her books off of the bookshelf. Her favorites are Baby Angels, The Dog Book by Boynton and That’s Not My Dinosaur! Her and Colin both have a thing for the Baby Angels book. I don’t know what it is about it but first Colin and now Kate. I have a cute video of her reading her books I’d like to share!

Kate has enjoyed playing with the Little People Manger set and pointing out ornaments on the tree. She’s done really well around the packages. The cats have been into them more than she has!  Last week I got in some really good snuggle time. I know that these moments are fleeting as she grows in independence but she’s still a mama’s girl (and a daddy’s girl)!  There are days when we just giggle together and I love it! She’s a monkey see monkey do! So when Colin tackles me, she tackles me. When Colin gives me hugs and kisses then she does too! Just look at those kissable cheeks!

She loves to be where I am so she’s always dragging her stuff into the kitchen and plopping down in the middle of the floor while I’m cooking or cleaning. For some reason she loves playing with washcloths as you can see in the photo below.

Kate has entered the world of coloring. I may have an emerging artist or maybe it’s just her curious nature.

She displays pure joy when she tries on new clothes. Especially this little outfit. I had the pants specially made for her by a friend.

The girl loves my green smoothies. Check out the green mustache :-)

I feel there’s so much more to say but I’m drawing a blank. I’m sure I’ll remember more when I’m getting ready to go to sleep. Until then, ta ta for now!
