happy 8 months to kate!

she's 8 months old today. can't believe how time is flying!

here are some of the things kate is doing:

• eating solids- her daily meals consist of pureed fruits and veggies and rice cereal. her favorite things to eat, however, are sweet potato puffs and cheerios.


• spitting up- yes, she's following in her brother's footsteps. she still spits up all day, every day. jacob didn't stop spitting up until he was at least 15 months. :( let's hope not that long with kate!


• sitting up- she can go from belly position to sitting position all on her own- just started this last week!


• smiling- she loves to smile and usually has one ready for you at any moment of the day. :)


• clapping- on demand clapping. it's ah-dorable.


• splashing- just found this out tonight, as her and her brother had a splashing/giggling fest in the bathtub while mommy was trying to get them clean. water everywhere in the bathroom!


• crawling- she has perfected the "army crawl" (see following video). she gets around pretty fast for only being 8 months. she is across the living room before i can get a drink from the kitchen. gone are the days of leaving her alone in a room! here she is heading for the dog bowl:

we enjoyed some time outside today with the cooler weather. here she is on her 8 month day...
