Brenna's 1st Birthday
We were in Long Island this past weekend to celebrate Brenna's first birthday (a little belated). She showed off her dancing skills and stroller abilities (pushing a baby doll in the baby stroller)! Here is a picture of the NY Webers from the party. The other one is of the girls playing on Sunday.

9 Months!!
Today was Katherine's 9 month check-up with the Pediatrician. She received her last hepititis shot and a finger prick to test for anemia. She was a trooper, but the finger prick really seemed to hurt.
Her stats are: Weight - 20 pounds, 11 ounces. Height - 29 inches.
Who would have guessed we'd have such a big baby?! We're going to have to buy a new car seat since she has met the limits for her current seat. They have to face backwards until their first birthday. If we had an idea that Katherine would grow so fast, we would have bought one of the "large capacity" models!
Here is a picture of Katherine's "aerobics" after her check-up.

Expectant Perry Family
Dawn and Billy are expecting their first child on or about August 4th. We are very excited for them and look forward to having another niece or nephew.
Strange Baby
I thought it was worth noting that our little girl likes the taste of pickles and lemon. You would expect her to pucker her mouth and back away. But instead, our little girl seems to like the taste and keeps coming back for more. Strange! Broccoli on the other hand, has made her short list of foods she doesn't care for.
Katherine has made a lot of crawling progress in the past few days. She is a speed demon when it comes to rolling and sitting up. She has started figuring out that she can reach more things sitting up than laying down. She has really started to do some army crawling and surprised the cat by suddenly appearing face to face with her. After a quick confrontation, Mason ran away and Katherine proceeded to follow her around the room.

8 Months
Has it been 8 months already?!
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.
