Katie is no longer a two tooth! She has her top two front teeth growing in.Appearently santa has granted her "all she wants for christmas." Here are some new pictures. Messy baby picture is after we tried to let her eat pasta on her own, the crawling picture is just cute (she crawls everywhere now, including up the stairs) and the Tree picture is from us going out to get Katie's first christmas tree. She was a little leery of the trees at first, but now she loves it!
. As you can see fromt he picture, her favorite were the sweet potatoes. All the action made Katie a tired girl, she feel alseep as soon as her little head hit the carseat and her thumb hit her mouth!
Katie has had a cold recently. So we are givng her vapor baths in the sink. This is the first time she has been so free to move around in the water and she is splashing up a storm. Her favorite is to try and smack for buddha belly with both hands, shooting water all over the kitchen. I put some "crib shoes" as they call them on her the other day, she looks so funny to me with shoes on, I am not used to it. She's like "great, new toys to shove in my mouth"
Katie went with us to the poconos recently. She behaved so well. She slept all night in her pack and play (something I wish she was currently capable of doing) and had fun on the beach, and looking at the lake. I had fun haning out with my friends and my little family.
talking to her. The little boy told his dad, the baby is excited! He also encouraged Katie to say "cheese" for the camera. Too bad winter is coming up, I think Katie would really enjoy more frequent trips to the park.
Saturday was Big Mike's 50th b-day. So, what better way to celebrate than to take pictures of Frank impersonating Mike and make t-shirts out of them! Steve even included some of Mike's famous phrases like "Gimmiemillalite." Even Katie got in on the action, wearing a Big Mike onsie that said "hi tweety"
Katie's favorite toys are her pianos. She likes the guitar as well. She just so cute when she's trying to play her music. And lately she'll start to shake her head back and forth when the music plays. It's just adorable. We think she's trying to dance!
Katie is already proving that she is going to have quite a strong-willed personality. Recently she has been refusing to eat her formula bottles. She will eat any food you give her, but she DOES NOT want a bottle, at least not during the day. She gets up at night now, and accepts her bottle. I guess we were too spoiled by Katie's good sleeping and now assume that she should sleep through the night. HA! Katies teaches us something new everyday.
Katie can stand! I think she may forgo crawling altogether and just start walking one day. She likes to lean on the table and play with her toys standing up.
My friend Kelly went to Ireland on her honeymoon brought this stuffed animal back for Katie. Katie is fascinated. And of course, she likes to try to eat the fur.
Who said boys don't like to play dress up? Steve has turned Katie into his little sports fan doll! 
Suprisingly, she didn't seem to mind the scarf on her head, probably because she was too concentrated on getting the beads in her mouth.
