Katherine continues to amaze us. Her 8th tooth is just popping through the gums. She's rolling all over the place. Most times it's like a steam roller...don't get in her way or she'll run you over! Occasionally she'll go from laying down to sitting up all on her own. She still isn't crawling, but I'm sure she'll figure it out once there's something she wants bad enough.
Katherine's latest tricks are clapping and squishing up her face when she doesn't want to eat (not necessarily at the same time). I've found that the best way to get her to eat is to sing to her. "Do-Re-Me" usually does the trick, but she also likes "The Itzy Bitzy Spider", "I'm a Little Teapot", and "Row Row Row Your Boat".
She is finally starting to chew her food. Every once in a while she forgets and gags on a little piece of carrot. But it's a long way from choking down every bite...literally.
Her favorite "words" are "Ya" and "Ba". These are usually used repeatedly and with increasing volume. And believe me when I say this girl has some lungs! Katherine likes to start yelling when we're trying to talk on the phone or have a conversation. She usually wakes up blabbering. Maybe we should call her Chatty Kathy. I often wonder what she's trying to say.
Katherine continues to grow out of her clothes at a staggering rate. She is now wearing 9-12 month in most clothes and an even bigger size in things like pjs. "Big Foot" has almost outgrown her size 3 soft-soled infant shoes.
With all of her exercise, conversation, and growing, she naps very well. Here are a few pictures of her napping since the last post. She obviously likes cuddling up with Daddy. And yes, she's sleeping in all of the pictures.
