Kate the Great

My computer crashed so I can't post the rest of the pictures that I wanted to.
My sweet baby is one. I can hardly believe it. She has been such a joy. Here are some things about Kate at age 1. We had her 1 year old check up yesterday,. She is 27 inches (1.29%) Yea!! She is growing at a steady rate and we are not so concerned anymore. Weight 19lbs.  She is walking all over the furniture and the walls. She will push this little chair around so that she can walk with it. (Although she wont push the push toy that she has). She has taken 5 steps. She stands by her self and pick things up off the floor and stand back up. She will walk very soon. I think she could do it now but gets scared and then leans towards me or just sits down. She blows kisses(so cute). Points to everything new she sees. Babbles non stop, says Dada and occasionally Mama. She loves her sister but doesn't like it when Alyssa picks her up or smothers her (which happens often). She loves to climb up the stairs. This is not safe! Every step or 2 she stands up to look around. I let her do it when I am right behind her. When she heads towards the stairs and I come after her she starts laughing and crawling as fast as she can towards the stairs. She is a great eater but she will not allow me to feed her, she has to feed her self. She is becoming more demanding and will yell if she wants more or is done. I am trying to teach her sign language, she does it sometimes but is not as good at is as Alyssa was. But if there is ice cream in front of her she will sign "more" for sure! She loves to explore all the cupboards and drawers. She is so much fun and I can't wait to see how she grows and develops this year.
