Not so little anymore!

Hi all!!! Figured I should give a good update on what Katie is up to these days.
At her 9 month check up she weighed in at 19.5 pounds and measured 27 inches. (she grew 3 inches in 3 months!!!) She is outgrowing her 9 month clothes daily and fits into 12 month clothes already - she is no longer 'petite:)

She went from Army crawling to regular crawling overnight and can easily pull herself up on ANY surface. She travels around the house holding onto things and will even walk between toys as long as she can put one hand on each. We think she will be walking in no time. She waves hello and goodbye and she just started pointing at things the other day.


She still loves reading books and can successfully point out a Pumpkin, Pooh, Mickey and a bee on her farm when you ask her. She will even turn the pages in the book until she finds the pumpkin page.

She's very social and loves to meet new people wherever we go... watch out - if you see her in a store... you better say hi - because she's expecting it and will wave for 5 minutes after you are gone.
She is very good at sharing and will give you the toys she is playing with if you ask her. She will even give you the bink out of her mouth if you ask. She eats puffs which are basically like cheerio type cereal things that dissolve really easily and will share those with you too... but watch out, by the time they get into your mouth they will be slimey!



This week I took her to visit Mimi and Grumps and she learned how to climb up all the stairs. (a few weeks ago, daddy showed me how to do the bottom 2 but this time I was brave enough to go all the way to the top.

Here are some videos for you to see my new tricks.
This weekend we are going Trick or Treating with our faves - so we will post pictures after the weekend!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I get bed head after a good nap:)

I watch Wheel of Fortune... but nothing else on t.v.

I like to drink out of mommys' glass

I got a farm.

I like the eggs from the farm.


I'm learning how to open and close the door to crawl through:)

Just hanging out!

Daddy and I went on a beer run :)


Here I am later that night.. Daddy was trying to convince me I should go to sleep.... he even laid down on my princess couch with me.
As you can see... it wasn't really working!

I love playing with paper. Toilet paper, tissues, mail - I love it all!

Presents for me!



Mimi sent me a halloween card, and I got it 5 minutes after she left from a visit:) Here I am opening it up with Daddy, wearing one of my new outfits from Grammie.


I got some super cool gifts this past week! Cousin Kathy & Aunt Judy sent me the cutest Halloween card from Maine and i got a very nice sweatsuit from Aruba. (I think Kathy went on another cruise:)) Here I am opening up my package! THANK YOU!!!












Grumps brought me these super cool shoes from Canada... it's my first official pair of Walking shoes!!!!! Wish me luck:)

I have learned to Wave Hello, and sometimes I do it at the strangest times- but sometimes I do it at just the right time. Grumps taught me how to give 5 yesterday - so mommy and daddy are gonna see if I can remember it and keep doing it.

I can stand up all by myself and am working on figuring out how to sit down without collapsing.
I am also developing quite a bit of Sass... grumps was bugging me yesterday - so I swatted his hand out of the way and then yelled at him... it was really funny to everyone at the time... but it just means mommy and daddy are going to have a hard time with me for the next 18 years!!!! Wish them luck!

More visit with Grammie and Grampie





As you can see.. we had a FABULOUS time with Grammie and Grampie this past weekend. We played games, I showed them all my new tricks and we even got to go on a Hay Ride and pumpkin picking. I had the best time and could tell they had fun too!

This week Grumps & Mimi are coming for a visit and mommy, daddy and I are walking in the Manhattanville College Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday - wish us luck!!!!

Grammie and Grampie are here and I'm crawling for real!!


Here I am just reading my book by myself.

Here I am sporting one of my new treasures form Maine! (I'm looking up at Grampie)



And here is my latest video... I randomly decided that I would Crawl for real today when they got here... so now I crawl on all fours... unless I want to go really fast, then I go back to the Army Crawl cause I'm really good at that:)

Tomorrow we are going to try to go pumpkin picking in the morning - cross your fingers that the weather holds out for us:)

I'm still standing!!



Today I was feeling much better! I took a long nap in the morning and then we went grocery shopping. When we came home... I played in my pen again... and kept standing, and standing and standing! I even tried one hand a few times...

I'm getting good at this and sometimes I even take a few steps while holding onto things...

This weekend Grammie and Grampie are coming to visit and they aren't going to believe how fast and strong I am!!!!
